Abstract
Longtoushan Tunnel is a two-way tunnel with eight-lane in either way located in Guangdong province of China. The tunnel has a maximum excavation width of 21.47 m and a maximum height of 13.56 m(including invert arch). Featured by a length of 1010 m one way and a cross-sections area of 230 m 2 in either way, it is the longest and largest tunnel so far in China. Therefore, rational design and construction method is required to assure the stability of surrounding rock and support structure. The paper mainly introduces the successful experience of design and construction on Longtoushan Tunnel. Firstly, the state of design and construction of eight-lane road tunnel in China is summarized. Secondly, design of cross-section, supports, construction, monitoring of Longtoushan Tunnel are presented and discussed in detail. Finally, difficulties and emphases of design and construction, economic benefits during construction are analyzed briefly. According to above experience and methods, the Longtoushan Tunnel has been completed successfully and collapse or accident never happened during the construction.
