Modelling and instrumentation programme of the connecting gallery

Creators

Description

This contribution to the annual report describes the CLIPEX experiment, which is a R and D programme to characterise the hydro-mechanical behaviour of the Boom Clay formation and the excavation Disturbed Zone during the excavation phase of the connecting gallery. Instrumentation was installed in situ in order to monitor the hydro-mechanical parameters ahead of the excavation front, which was realised with a tunnel boring machine. This enabled comparison of the in situ measurements with the blind prediction performed earlier. This type of exercise is important to test capabilities to predict the behaviour of the host rock as part of confidence building
