Coarse-grained pink and grey granite, hornblende-biotite gneiss and dolerite dyke of Archaean age and Lower Proterozoic age were mapped. Rock mass was intersected by sub-horizontal, inclined, and vertical joint sets, which were continuous and persistent, smooth, and planar with thick filling of decomposed and crushed sheared material or with thin coating of clay material. Based on the Q-system, rock mass was classified into different classes. On the basis of large-scale engineering geological mapping and Norwegian Method of Tunnelling, a support system was recommended which includes rock bolt, fibre reinforced shotcrete, grouting and reinforced ribs of sprayed concrete and the same is implemented by the agency. As per the best knowledge of the authors, reinforced ribs of sprayed concrete are first time used for transportation tunnels in India and it will be more effective if it will be compared with ISMB or Lattice Girder.","PeriodicalId":417409,"journal":{"name":"Insight - Civil Engineering","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141815389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By harnessing the lightweight and deformable characteristics of tire rubber particles, they are combined with soil to form rubber particle-loess mixed soil, which is progressively being embraced in civil engineering as a pivotal approach towards attaining green and sustainable development. In this study, waste tire rubber particles were integrated into loess to generate rubber particle-loess mixed soil, and compaction tests were conducted to investigate its compaction characteristics. Furthermore, PFC3D (Particle Flow Code 3D) was utilized for simulating the bearing ratio test of rubber particle-loess mixed soil, thereby validating the feasibility of numerical simulation for calculating CBR (California bearing ratio) values and exploring the relationship between micromechanical characteristics and macroscopic characteristics of such mixtures. The findings indicate that the maximum dry density of rubber particle-loess mixed soil significantly decreases with an increasing content of rubber particles. The utilization of PFC3D discrete element software proves efficacious in examining the bearing capacity of this mixture. Notably, when 20 mesh rubber particles constitute 20% by volume, the CBR value reaches its pinnacle and exhibits optimal bearing capacity. From a micromechanical perspective, the variation in internal porosity of rubber particle-loess mixed soil is positively associated with changes in macroscopic optimal water content, and negatively associated with changes in macroscopic CBR value. incorporating rubber particles enhances resistance against external forces while diminishing deformation within loess. This study provides a guidance for the efficient utilization of waste tires and the improvement of loess’s characteristics.","PeriodicalId":417409,"journal":{"name":"Insight - Civil Engineering","volume":"80 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141817765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
