Rock Reinforcement and Rock Support
Rock reinforcement
Is used to improve the strength and/or deformational behaviour of rock
mass.
It generally consists of bolts or cables that are placed within the rock
mass in such a way that they provide confinement or restraint to
counteract loosening and movement of the rock blocks. In general, it is only fully effective in rock masses of moderate to high
strength.
Rock support
A load bearing structure installed on rock surface
The primary function of the support is to limit deformation of the rock
mass surrounding the tunnel
Is fully effective in failing weak ground
Generally consists of steel sets and shotcrete or concrete linings in
different combinations7

Rock Reinforcement and Rock Support
Some support elements can be both reinforcement and
support, e.g. pre-tensioned rock bolts
Active support and Passive support: Acting load before and
after rock mass deforms
Rock Support, a commonly used term in engineering, refers
to Rock Reinforcement +Rock Support

Temporary Support and Permanent Support
Temporary supportTo ensure a safe working environment before the next round
blasting
Must be applied immediately after the blasting
May be removed for installation of permanent support
Permanent supportTo meet the long term safety and quality requirements for
the entire lifetime (operation) of the underground facility
May be applied a certain distance behind the excavation
face Modern design: Temporary support serves as part of
permanent support

NATM (New Austrian Tunnelling Method)
For weak and squeezing ground. Structural supports are
needed
Basic principle: Take advantage of the bearing capacity of
weak rocks. Surrounding rock is transferred from loading body
into a load-carrying body. So only a reduced support is
needed to confine the unstable rock close to the tunnel.
Deformation of surrounding rock is allowed in a controlled
manner.
Support must have suitable load-deformation characteristics
and be applied at the right time
Design as you go or Design as you monitor approach:
systematic in-situ measurement of deformation and stresses
13
8/10/2019 Lecture 5 & 6(1)
11/296
NMT (Norwegian Method of Tunnelling)
For fast tunnel excavation at low cost in hard andjointed rock
Developed from experience gained in construction of5000 km tunnels in Norway
Is basically empirical, observationally based tunnelling. Contract system is based on the principle that the
contractor is paid for the amount of work whichactually has been performed and needed according tothe ground conditions encountered.
Flexible rock support adjusted to the actual rock massconditions plays an important role.
Risk-sharing contract system.

Rock bolts
A bar set in holes drilled into the rock to assist insupporting the tunnel roof or individual rockblocks that tend to fall into a tunnel.
Rock bolts maintain the stability of an opening by
suspending the dead weight of a slab from therock above by providing a normal pressure on therock surface to clamp discontinuities togetherand develop beam action by preventing key
blocks becoming loosened so that the strengthand integrity of the rock mass is maintained.

During the test the panel (> 600600100 mm) is
supported on its four edges and a central point
load is applied through a contact surface of100100 mm.
The load deflection curve is recorded and the test
is continued until a deflection of 25 mm at thecentral point of the slab is reached.
From the load-deflection curve, a second curve is
generated resulting in a plot of the absorbedenergy (in Joules) versus the central deformation

It is very important to establish safe anchoring at therear end of the bolt prior to the next blast taking
place. The normal procedure is to use steel straps,
radial bolts, and fibre reinforced sprayed concrete as
back anchorage. There must be a radial bolt for each
spile.
May be combined with permanent support such as
shotcrete, reinforced shotcrete ribs and rockbolts Combined with reduced length of blast round

Not adequate (roof)
3. 50mm thick shotcrete:
Sufficient stiffness and strength to stabilize the tunnel. But, stress
in shotcrete maybe too high and brittle failure may occur. Mesh and fibre
to increase tensile strength and ductility.4. 25mm diameter 3m long end-anchored bolts at 1.5m centres installed
within 3m from face:
Adequate support. But, safety margin for roof seems not enough.
May reduce bolt spacing at roof and increase spacing at walls and
floor.
5. 25mm diameter 3m long end-anchored bolts at 1.5m centres installedwithin 10m from face.
Roof collapse will occur due to late application of bolts.
145
Summary
8/10/2019 Lecture 5 & 6(1)
143/296
Apply support at right time:
Too early: support load will be too high and support mayfail
Too late: tunnel may collapse due to large deformation
Mobilize strength of rock mass
Allow enough displacement to enable strength of rockmass to be mobilized
Without support the rock mass strength is fully mobilized,but tunnel may collapse due to excessive displacement
Load taken by rock and support Support stiffness: Different types of support have
different stiffness and different Support Reaction Curve

Q-value and permanent rock support is
documented

Wedge Stability Analysis and Design ofBolting by Using Unwedge
Unwedge is a 3D stability analysis and
8/10/2019 Lecture 5 & 6(1)
220/296
Unwedgeis a 3D stability analysis andvisualization program for undergroundexcavations in rock containing intersectingstructural discontinuities.
Safety factors are calculated for potentially
unstable wedges and support requirements canbe modeled using various types of pattern andspot bolting and shotcrete.
Use Unwedgeto quickly create a model, perform
a safety factor analysis, place reinforcement andinterpret the results.

emergency parking zone, constituting approximatelyhalf the full size of the cavern.
c) Before mucking out after the last blasting 3 m longholes shall be drilled in a 2x2 m pattern in the final
wall and roof areas as described in point b) above.The holes shall be equipped with protection toprevent sprayed concrete to clog the holes.

f) The muck from the last blast round is removed andpoints d) and e) above are repeated. It is important that
the rock bolts and shotcrete are installed all the way tothe floor level.
g) Excavation of the right hand side of the tunnel to thefull height and width of the caverns, blast rounds shallbe parallel to the tunnel axis.

The support is divided to temporary support and thepermanent support
The temporary support consists of 6 cm shotcrete and
3 m long end-anchored bolts in 2x2 m patterns whichare installed right after each excavation stage.
The permanent support consists of 24 cm shotcreteand 20 mm diameter 10 m long end-anchored bolts in
2x2 m pattern which is installed 3-4 days after thetemporary support.
Some points from the support design
Rock stress measurements are important
2D numerical modelling may give conservative design
8/10/2019 Lecture 5 & 6(1)
294/296
297
Use 3D models for general design
2D models for detailed analysis and sequential design
Flexible support system is important when excavating
in high rock stress End anchored rock bolts
Flexible support consists of temporary and final support
Sequential excavation is important when excavating
caverns in high stressed rock mass
