Abstract
Pipe roof support systems are becoming increasing popular as cost and installation
times have decreased with improved technology. The design of these systems is still based
primarily on experience and the system behavior is still not well understood. Horizontal chain
inclinometers were applied at a shallow tunnel in weak rock to provide a quasi real-time feedback
of the pipe roof performance aimed at optimizing the excavation and support process to minimize
surface displacements. The evaluation methods utilized, what they show, and how they were able
to contribute to the adaptive design process are briefly explained in the paper. This system shows
very promising results for monitoring and evaluating pipe roof supported tunnels.
