Abstract
Impact moles and directional drilling units form tunnels of up to approximately 300 mm in diameter at a depth of 1–2 m. They are typically used for the installation of electricity cables or small-diameter pipelines. This type of tunnelling differs from conventional tunnelling owing to the lack of soil excavation. The tunnel is formed by dynamically expelling soil outwards in a predominantly radial direction. This creates a stress and displacement field that has the potential to damage existing services and buildings. To reduce the risk of damage to existing structures installation guidelines detailing acceptable proximity distances need to be provided. This paper details a methodology that has been used to calculate acceptable proximity distances to existing grey iron pipelines that have a transverse geometric configuration to the new pipeline. The study utilises finite difference techniques in conjunction with analytical cavity expansion solutions to determine the stress–strain field induced by tunnellin...
期刊介绍:
The objectives of the Association shall be the promotion of co-operation among geotechnical societies in SE Asia; and the assistance to member societies who have limited number of members. Now there is only one combined web titled: AGSSEA-SEAGS. SEAGS & AGSSEA encourage the submission of scholarly and practice-oriented articles to its journal. The journal is published quarterly. Both sponsors of the journal, the Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society and the Association of Geotechnical Societies in Southeast Asia, promote the ideals and goals of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechhnical Engineering in fostering communications, developing insights and enabling the advancement of the geotechnical engineering discipline.
