Due to the severe squeezing and deformation, the tunnel cross section has narrowed considerably ... -
Analysis of the Deformation Behavior at the Underground Caverns of Neelum Jhelum HPP, Pakistan
Vestad, Magni Larsen (Master thesis, 2014)Many risks and challenges are associated with large scale underground projects. Stability issues are typically related to high stresses around the opening. Excavations will change the existent stress regime in the ground, ... -
Analysis of the plastic deformation behavior of schist and schistose mica gneiss at Khimti headrace tunnel, Nepal
Shrestha, Pawan Kumar; Panthi, Krishna Kanta (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The Khimti headrace tunnel experienced instability related to tunnel deformations in several tunnel stretches through mica schist and schistose mica gneiss rock mass. The monitored convergence pattern indicated that the ... -
Analysis of unlined pressure shafts and tunnels of selected Norwegian hydropower projects
Basnet, Chhatra Bahadur; Panthi, Krishna Kanta (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Norwegian hydropower industry has more than 100 years of experiences in constructing more than 4000 km-long unlined pressure shafts and tunnels with maximum static head of 1047 m (equivalent to almost 10.5 MPa) reached at ... -
Analysis on the extent of water inflow in the tunnel system of SmiSto Hydropower Project in Nordland
Haugerud, Haakon Jørlo (Master thesis, 2020)SmiSto vannkraftprosjekt, som bygges ut ved Gjervalenfjorden i Nordland, er et nytt bidrag til vannkraftindustrien i Norge. Ved drivingen av tunnelsystemene har det vært betydelige problemer knyttet til innlekkasje av vann ... -
Analysis on the pre-injection grout consumption at Strindheim Road Tunnel Project, Trondheim, Norway

Assessment of the effect of stress anisotropy on tunnel deformation in the Kaligandaki project in the Nepal Himalaya
Shrestha, Pawan Kumar; Panthi, Krishna Kanta (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Most of the analytical approaches that are available for assessing plastic deformation in tunnels that pass through weak, schistose, and foliated rock masses assume an isostatic stress state. However, in situ stresses are ... -
Assessment on stress induced instability in a tunnel project of the Himalaya
