  • a blast vibration is propagated to a face of the ground through the entire length of the tunnel because the charge holes 4 are arranged in a tunneling direction.
  • the blast vibration of the ground may occur when a blast pressure and energy is transmitted from a blast source to rock masses. Due to such the ground vibration, structures installed on an area adjacent to the portion disposed over the tunnel and the other establishments sensitive to the vibration may be severely damaged.
  • the blasting for enlargement of the TBM pilot tunnel is carried out only in the longitudinal direction after removing a rail for a TBM muck car, so that a one-time drilling length is limited. And an overbreak and a drilling time may be increased due to the increase of the excavation length. It is inconvenient for the drilling of the charge holes after the excavation due to a severe roughness of a tunnel face, and the length of drilling for the charge holes in the tunneling direction is limited. Furthermore, drilling-charging-blasting-muck removing procedures should be repeatedly carried out in the tunnel excavating work after a pilot tunnel has been excavated using the TBM. As a result, the pilot tunnel may be inefficiently used.

Simultaneously, longitudinal charge holes are also drilled in an outermost section 10 in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. 4A. A charging of the longitudinal and transverse charge holes is carried out as shown in FIG. 4B. Then, a blast is carried out. Referring to FIG. 4C, the muck produced by the blast is removed using an appropriate mechanical equipment, for example, a load head bucket. The line charge holes 5 are drilled again in a predetermined portion of the outermost section 10 as shown in FIG. 4D.
  • the conventional bi-directional drilling and blasting method has an advantage that drilling and blasting period can be shortened, the muck should be removed in the same manner as the longitudinal drilling and blasting method, so that there is few efficiency of the tunnel excavation cycle time. That is, as an excavating length becomes long, the muck removal time to be required is also increased.
  • a drilling equipment is needed to carry out the bi-directional drilling and blasting for enlargement. Since it is difficult for installing the drilling equipment on the TBM to drill the radial holes on the lower half section of the tunnel because of the blasting pattern in the bi-directional drilling and blasting method, the drilling should be processed with another drilling equipment, e.g., the jumbo drill so that the efficiency of the drilling equipment is decreased. Moreover, it is somewhat difficult for the jumbo drill to approach the pilot tunnel made by the TBM owing to the size and the drilling position is also hardly confirmed even if drilled with the jumbo drill.

  • FIG. 15 there is shown a perspective view of a ventilation duct system of a three dimensional multi-phase tunneling method in accordance with the present invention.
  • the ventilation duct 600 can be installed either in the top area of the pilot tunnel or in the side area.
  • the ventilation duct 600 for the TBM excavation is still used so that the main duct 602 can be separated from the duct 603 placed in the rear of the NATM tunnel face, and then the blasting for enlargement is carried out.
  • the ventilation duct 600 is designed a zipper 700 type and is hung by a hanger 701 to be separated easily, the blasting for enlargement can be carried out and a dust can be ventilated out.
  • the duct 603 placed in the rear of the NATM tunnel face is used for ventilating the NATM tunnel face, and is used for ventilating the TBM tunnel face by connecting both ducts again. Since the ventilation duct 600 for the TBM excavation is utilized for the blasting for enlargement, the efficiency of the duct can be increased. At this point, the ventilation duct for the TBM tunnel face and for the NATM tunnel face can be installed in parallel. In this case, the contamination material, e.g., dust is ventilated out efficiently by using two ventilation ducts.
  • Final process of tunnel excavation i.e., a concrete grouting process is carried out on the outer face of the tunnel after the blast and the installation of the rockbolt and shotcrete grouting is completed.
  • the concrete grouting can be carried out only after the excavation of pilot tunnel and the blasting for enlargement are completed.
  • a special designed lining form is used in the present invention for enabling the transporting facilities, e.g., the muck car, the carrier, to move.
  • the concrete lining process can be carried by means of the hinge and winch in the upper part of the lining form as shown in FIGS. 16A to 16 C.
