摘要
For better rock mass classification and support design of supporting system, geotechnical investigations were carried out for the proposed 196.80 m long, 50.30 m high and 25.24 m wide underground pump house cavern of a lift irrigation scheme. Geotechnical site investigations, rock support design, excavation and related works and modification of supports design according to the observational construction method are the principal activities for the construction of underground rock cavern. The investigation includes engineering geological mapping, geological logging of drill holes, in situ permeability test and laboratory testing on core samples. Detailed geotechnical investigations carried out supporting the feasibility of underground excavations of cavern within the hillock. Support system recommended is the rock bolt and steel fibre reinforced shotcrete based on empirical approaches and their capacity is determined. Capacity of support system was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed support system. © 2017, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
