Abstract

The characterization of complex rock masses, such as fault zones and tectonic mélanges, for tunneling requires non-traditional techniques due to the extremely heterogeneous nature of both the ground conditions and the rock mass behavior. By using a consistent characterization process recently introduced in Austria the basic key parameters for this type of rock mass have been defined. Examples of complex behavior are given using the state-of-the-art techniques in displacement monitoring and data evaluation from a recently
completed shallow tunnel in the Austrian Alps
