| description |
Groundwater inflow into tunnels can constitute a potential hazard and an important
factor influencing the performance of tunnel excavation. In this research, the results
on analyses of localised jointing system are presented to study the link of
groundwater inflow and the joint orientations along the 2000 meters of TBM-1 site,
Karak in conjunction to the construction of Pahang Selangor Raw Water Transfer
Tunnel project (PSRWT). The geology along the tunnel route is predominantly the
Main Range granite batholith with a lesser extent of meta-sedimentary rocks of the
Karak Formation. Structurally, TBM-1 is dominated by joints orientated at N-S,
NW-SE and NE-SW direction. Faults that cross-cut the intrusive Main Range
Granite rocks trending faults formed the most prominent structures in the vicinity of
the Karak. Potential leakage places are identified of three main types of joints
orientations; the most permeable place is parallel along the main lineament
orientation, followed by perpendicular to 90 degrees to the tunnel drive direction, 45
degrees to the lineament line or combinations of both joints and crossing some of
voids which creating pocket water zones. At least three sets of prominent
topographic lineaments correspond to fault-zones permeability related. Based on the
stereographical projection and rosette diagram analysis, the dominant orientations of
joints seem to have occurred at the intersection of 3 cross-cutting trends. They are the
Kuala Lumpur – Bukit Tinggi trend, N-S trend and NE-SW trend, which corresponds
to the NW-SE Bukit Tinggi and Kuala Lumpur Fault Zones, the N-S faults and the
NE-SW faults, respectively. Results from the mechanical tests, Uniaxial
Compressional Strength Test, Brazillian Tensile Test, Triaxial by comparing dry and
wet condition of rockmass showed that the value of rockmass strength were lessened
into half. Parameter values that obtained from the mechanical tests were used in the
finite element method analysis showed that rockmass with poor grade and in wet
condition have higher potential to deform compared to dry and higher grade rock. |
