Te Norwegian Geotechnical Institute of Oslo has been involved i aint venture with Contractor CJ Sarantopoulos S.A and Consulting Group Axon Lid forthe study and construction ofthe fist tunnel project in Patras, Greece, using principles from the Norwegian Method of Tunneling (NMT). This project comprises the construction of @ bypass highoay, with twin tunnels, scheduled to open by year 200), in weak mail formation with sandy ‘interbeddings. The twin tunnels wit an approximate length of 650 m have a designed pila thickness of 16 im. The Q- system was used fr the classification ofthe rock mass which could be characterised a extremely oor lo very poor with Q - values angng between 0.01 and 0.3.

Le projet compread la constriction dune voie dautoroute avec deux tuaels jumelés, dont ouverture est prévue pour 2001, dans des formations marneuses pe résstantes avec des bancs sablonneu. {Les deux tunnels, une longueu?approximative de 6S0 mates, ont une paisseur de plier de 16 metres, Le systme Qua éié utlisé pour la classification de la masse mameuse, qui peut re caractérsé comme ‘extrémement file ts faible, les valeurs Q variant entre 0.01 et 0.3. 1 INTRODUCTION Several exiensometers were installed in three Gifferet locations in the test tunnel. The roof Due to uncertainties in connection with the ground conditions revealed in core logs, a pilot tunnel 40 m in length, in @ nearby location of the twin tunnels with nearly quadratic cross section with dimensions 2x 2 m, was frst excavated. Several in sit tests ‘such as plat loading test fr determination of the E ‘modulus, deformation measurements forthe elastic response of the rock mass and bot pullout tests for the determination of shear strength of the material were performed. All these in situ tess provided ‘valuable information fr the overall evaluation ofthe support requirements. Two plate loading tests vere conducted secordng to the suggested international standards (SRM, 1981). Stress levels abowe 2.5 MPa resulted in plastic behaviour of the rock. fextensometers of Section C at 35.0 m from the fenrance reached values of about 13 and 11 ram at 1.5m and 2.5m from the arch crown respectively, before they were stabilised. Surprisingly good results were derived from the belt pull-out tests on site ‘The five tested fully grouted bolts of effective grouting length of only 125m were able 10 take Toads ranging between 7.9 and 17.2 tal, Failre on the pll-out tests occurred between grouting and rock. The maximum shear stess dung the bolt pll- ‘ut tests can then be caleulated by using the simple relation: ®DxL ‘where:F = maximum pull-out toed, D iameter, 38 mm, L= grouted length, 1.25 m, “The maximum obtained shear strength values ‘ou yatid between 0.610 I.1 MPa. If we consider these bolt pull-out tests o be equivalent to undrained traxial texts with the eventual failure envelope horizontal, then we can indirectly estimate the uniaxial compressive strength Gof the marl which fs twice as much as Tay.
