Abstract
The structural geological features defining the discontinuity network in metamorphic rocks hosting railway tunnels are described. Discussion on the faults, joints, lineation and stresses found from fault population is presented. It is demonstrated that the formation of some brittle joints is related to the ductile stretching lineation. The geotechnical situation for the tunnel construction is complicated and requires reassessment of the design solutions in order to accommodate substantial lateral forces and prevent shear of the tubes.
