BROAD
AREA: Tunnelling & Underground Space Technology
Following are various sub-areas
Rock
Testing
·
Testing of Rock
samples in laboratory for determination of mechanical and physical properties
·
High temperature
rock testing
·
Low temperature rock
testing for fracture toughness
Tunnelling & Ground
Control
·
Rock Mass
classification and characterization
·
Engineering
geological studies for tunnelling and underground space
·
Feasibility
study for tunnel alignment
·
Estimation of
support pressure and support requirements based on empirical approaches - Expert advice on the application of rock
mass classifications on the basis of experience gained in Himalayan Tunnelling
·
Assessment of
the applicability of empirical design approach based on Rock Mass
Classification
·
Users friendly
computer programs have been developed to assess the rock mass behaviour in and
around underground excavations
·
Development of
New Approaches for Optimum design of Underground Openings
·
Trouble shooting
in tunnels
Geotechnical Instrumentation
·
Construction
& post-construction stages instrumentation of underground excavations to
monitor the rock mass behaviour
·
Analysis of data
and to obtain the support pressure, tunnel walls/roof deformations
·
Expert advice on
data analysis (work
appreciated by World Bank at one project).
Sometime analysis is such that one has to 'read between the lines'
·
Modification in
support density, if required
·
Development of
user friendly instruments.
·
Designed, patented and marketed Electro-Mechanical Borehole Extensometer and
Digital Tape Extensometer.
·
Also developed
and patented a Mechanical
Loader.
·
Instrumentation
for monitoring slope stability
Underground Storage & Underground Space
Technology
