Résumé

This paper deals with the particular geological-geotechnical conditions that predominate in the construction area of the diversion tunnel of Gadoura dam (in Rhodes) and the way these conditions were taken under consideration during the construction of the temporary support system. The intensely sheared geological formation of flysch that is encountered in the construction area of the tunnel, is characterised by the predomination of clayey shales against siltstones and other lithological members (sandstone horizons, occasional gypsum lenses and limited limestone intercalations) and by the absence of a groundwater table. The main features of this argillaceous facies of flysch are: the schistosity-foliation due to tectonic compression and the chaotic structure, in places where it occurs in alternations with sandstone and siltstone, due to differential deformation of the strata. As a result, squeezing phenomena occured during the tunnel advance. According to the engineering geology model, which was proposed after the first excavation works, sheared clayey shales compose a "soil type" rockmass specified by very low geotechnical parameters (GSI=15-20, ITIJ=6, Oci=5-10 MPa, E m =30r>500 MPa, c'=150+250 kPa, φ=13°+18° και oCm=0,400,60 MPa). Performing a declined surface on the tunnel face, shotcrete and fiber glass anchoring, this weak rockmass was behaved well on the face. The applying of a light forpoling system has contributed to the stabilization of the face and of the cylindrical "core" of rock immediately ahead of the advancing face, although it was a conservative measure. Steel ribs incorporated into shotcrete were used for the support of the tunnel behind the face. Lateral forces were further stabilized by the closure of the invert using reinforced concrete. Weep holes were locally opened for the pore pressure relief.
