Abstract

The excessive deformation caused by tunnel squeezing hazard is a key problem in tunnel construction, especially when tunneling through weak and over-stressed rock masses. Significant losses and delays would arise should an inappropriate selection of tunnel support be made. This paper presents a risk-based decision making framework to select the optimal support scheme in a quantitative manner. A program evaluation and review technique based Monte Carlo simulation procedure, which aims to estimate the cost distribution of different tunnel support schemes, is coupled with a multi-class probabilistic classifier on tunnel squeezing intensity. The risks regarding different scenarios of squeezing intensity and support scheme are expressed in a cost-benefit perspective using a modified Event Tree analysis, where abundant simulations of decision making can be done at one time and the optimal support scheme is hence selected based on votes. Finally, an engineering application is presented to demonstrate the efficiency and practicality of the proposed framework.
