Construction of underground caverns for petroleum storage in orogenic areas: Geological stability

Japan is located at the boundary between three continental and oceanic plates, and there is a great variety and complexity of geological features as a result of tectonic activities. The possibility of excavating large underground tunnels in the seemingly “fragile” rocks in orogenic areas was considered as a national project for the underground storage of petroleum. One hundred and seventy sites in 57 areas were selected based on a comprehensive survey over the whole country. After a successful experiment with a test tunnel, 112 m long and 250 m² in cross-section area, excavated in Cretaceous granite, three sites in granites and pyroclastic rocks were selected for construction. The largest of these storage tunnels is 550 m in length and20 × 30 m in cross-section.

Before construction, a detailed survey of the subsurface geology was carried out, taking into consideration the structural geology, the mechanical properties of the rocks and the hydrogeology. It was concluded that even in active orogenic areas, there are many suitable sites for large underground excavations and that these can be detected by detailed, planned surveys.

Delayed failure in rock loaded in uniaxial compression

Summary The long-term response to sustained compressive loading of two crystalline hard rocks of the Canadian Shield has been investigated. Static fatigue tests conducted on granite and anorthosite have shown that in a humid environment the long-term strengths of these crystalline igneous rocks could be less than 60 percent of their dry instantaneous strengths. Such reduction in strength has implications for the design and construction of deep tunnels, mines and other underground installations. The particular case of a nuclear fuel waste vault located at a depth of one kilometer is considered.Considering a service life of 1,000 years, a vault one kilometer deep in granite could suffer time-dependent spalling in highly stressed regions of the rock where the maximum principal stress exceeds about 130 MPa. Anorthosite has a lower instantaneous strength than granite and it is sensitive to static fatigue as well. A vault in anorthosite would be subject to time-dependent spalling of the perimeter rock in places where the maximum principal stress is above 80 MPa.     

Study on formation mechanism of gas tunnel in non-coal strata

Gases are common constituents of the underground environment, along with soils, rocks, and water. It is widely believed that gases in underground originate from the bacterial decomposition and thermal decomposition of organic and inorganic compounds, and geochemical reactions. Gases are usually widely dispersed in low concentrations, but under some geologic conditions are abundant. Gas can be a hazard to construction of underground civil works such as tunnels and underground chambers. Besides the gas tunnels in coal seam, there are a large number of tunnels with gas in non-coal strata in China, such as the Paotaishan Tunnel, Hongshiyan Tunnel, and Zengjiaping 2# Tunnel. These tunnels do not cross coal strata, but all encountered gas problems during construction. Due to lack of full understanding and thorough preparation, as well as the random non-uniform distribution of gas emission, the gas disasters in these tunnels are usually larger than the traditional ones. Study on the causes of formation has great scientific significance. This paper focuses on a variety of complete gas tunnels, summarized three types of gas tunnel in the non-coal strata, namely the structure-connected gas tunnel, including fracture, fault, and fold three subtypes according to the different geological structures; the second one is gas tunnel with metamorphic wall rock; the third is gas tunnel by composite forming causes.     

Measurement of Longwall Mining Induced Strata Permeability

The paper summarizes the findings of the underground permeability measurements (using inflatable packers) undertaken at a mine site in New South Wales in Australia and highlights the difficulties encountered during packer testing. The research project was supported by the Australian Coal Association Research Project. Within this project, systematic sub-surface and underground hydrogeological monitoring and measurements were carried out e.g. underground packer tests and piezometer, extensometer, and water inflow monitoring during mining. The project was aimed at investigating the effects of longwall mining on strata pore pressure, permeability, and water inflow to facilitate prediction of mining induced aquifer interference and mine water inflow. This paper presents only the results of underground permeability tests conducted at the mine site. The tests show that the drivage of main headings (roadways) can induce a significant change in permeability into the solid coal barrier. Permeability can be seen to increase by as much as 50 times at a distance of 11.2–11.5 m from the roadway rib. The measured permeability values varied widely and strangely on a number of occasions; for example the test conducted from the main headings at 8.2–8.5 m test section in the solid coal barrier showed a decline in permeability value compared to that at 11.2–11.5 m section contrary to the expectations. The tests conducted in the roof strata near (above) the longwall goaf indicated a possibility of more than 1,000 fold increase in permeability. Though the underground packer testing appears to be a good technique for measuring in situ permeability of rocks and coal seams, the study highlighted that (1) boreholes for packer testing need to be drilled with extreme care so as to avoid any undue damage or smearing of the borehole wall and (2) a sufficient number of tests at a number of locations needs to be conducted to cater for the possible variations of the test results.     

Certain features in zonation of dispersion halos of Akhtal barite-polymetallic ore deposit,Northern Armenia

The most higly contaminated surface areas from cesium-137 fallout from the April 1986 accident at the Chernobyl' nuclear power station in Ukraine occur within the 30-km radius evacuation zone set up around the station, and an 80-km lobe extending to the west-southwest. Lower levels of contamination extend 300 km to the west of the power station. The deposition of this radioactive dust on the surface and the subsequent entombment of the damaged reactor effectively result in the de facto establishment of an above-ground nuclear waste storage site. This site is located on a thick sedimentary sequence of loose, mostly clastic deposits, with a shallow (generally 3-5 m) water table. The geology, the presence of surface water, a shallow water table, and leaky aquifers at depth make this an unfavorable environment for the long-term containment and storage of the radioactive debris. An understanding of the general geology and hydrology of the area is important to assess the environmental impact of this unintended waste storage site, and to evaluate the potential for radionuclide migration through the soil and rock and into subsurface aquifers and nearby rivers.

Analysis of Cracking in Rock Salt

Summary ?The use of underground mines in salt-rock formations for waste repositories makes the precise analysis of isolation properties of rock salt very important. One of the main mechanisms responsible for a degradation of isolation ability of the rock salt is the generation and development of cracks under influence of mining processes. Various aspects of cracking in salt rocks are studied – both in situ and in laboratory tests – for rocks of the world's largest Verkhnekamskoe potash-ore deposit (Russia). It is shown that not all the discontinuities (fractures) are closed in the course of the creep deformation of rocks. Parameters of cracking are determined for various conditions: age of pillars, mining technology, etc. Different methods – filtration, electrometric, nuclear magnetic resonance, mechanical tests – are used for crack observation and characterisation, both in specimens and in situ. Traditional investigations (partly with specially designed equipment) are accomplished by the testing methods of fracture mechanics for determination of critical values of stress intensity factors K _Ic and K _IIc. The problems and ways of the use of the obtained results in analysis of isolation properties for areas in vicinity of underground mines and/or waste repositories are discussed.

Engineering geological assessment of the proposed Uru Dam, Turkey

This paper describes the results of the engineering geological investigations and rock mechanics studies carried out at the proposed Uru Dam site. Analyses were carried out in terms of rock mass classifications for diversion tunnel, kinematic analysis of excavation slopes, permeability of the dam foundation and determination of rock mass strength parameters.Uru Dam is a rock-filled dam with upstream concrete slab. The dam will be built on the Suveri River in the central part of Turkey. The foundation rocks are volcanic rocks, which consist of andesite, basalt and tuff of Neogene Age. Studies were carried out both at the field and the laboratory. Field studies include engineering geological mapping, intensive discontinuity surveying, core drilling, pressurized water tests and sampling for laboratory testing.Uniaxial, triaxial and tensile strength tests were performed and deformation parameters, unit weight and porosity were determined on the intact rock specimens in the laboratory. Rock mass strength and modulus of elasticity of rock mass are determined using the Hoek–Brown empirical strength criterion. Rock mass classifications have been performed according to RMR and Q systems for the diversion tunnel.Engineering geological assessment of the proposed dam and reservoir area indicated that there will be no foundation stability problems. Detailed geotechnical investigations are required for the final design of the dam.     

Differential Hydrogeological Effects of Draining Tunnels Through the Northern Apennines,Italy

Water inflows are a major challenge in tunnelling and particularly difficult to predict in geological settings consisting of heterogeneous sedimentary rock formations with complex tectonic structure. For a high-speed railway line between Bologna and Florence (Italy), a series of seven railway tunnels was drilled through turbiditic formations, ranging from pelitic rocks with thin arenitic layers over sequences including thick-bedded sandstone to calcareous rocks showing chemical dissolution phenomena (karstification). The tunnels were built as draining tunnels and caused significant impacts, such as drying of springs and base-flow losses at mountain streams. A comprehensive hydrological monitoring programme and four multi-tracer test were done, focusing on four sections of the tunnel system. The tracer tests delivered unprecedented data on groundwater flow and transport in turbiditic aquifers and made it possible to better characterize the differential impacts of tunnel drainage along a geological gradient. The impact radius is 200 m in the thin-bedded sequences but reaches 2.3–4.0 km in calcareous and thick-bedded arenitic turbidites. Linear flow velocities, as determined from the peaks of the tracer breakthrough curves, range from 3.6 m/day in the thin-bedded turbidites to 39 m/day in the calcareous rocks (average values from the four test sites). At several places, discrete fault zones were identified as main hydraulic pathways between impacted streams and draining tunnels. This case shows that ignoring the hydrogeological conditions in construction projects can cause terrible damage, and the study presents an approach to better predict hydraulic impacts of draining tunnels in complex sedimentary rock settings.

The application of borehole logging to characterize the hydrogeology of the faultless nuclear test site,Nevada, USA

The Central Nevada Test Area was the site of the “Faultless” underground nuclear test, a potential source of radio nuclide contamination to aquifers in Hot Creek Valley, Nevada, USA. Field studies in 1992 and 1993 used hydrologic logging and water sampling to determine the adequacy of the current groundwater monitoring network. New data from the monitoring wells and an abandoned postshot hole raise questions about the ability of the current monitoring network to detect migration. Logging and sampling at monitoring wells HTH-1 and HTH-2 reveal that the construction of HTH-1 may be responsible for its elevated water level (as compared to pre-nuclear test levels) and may also create a local groundwater mound in the alluvium that accounts for higher post-test water levels at HTH-2. This mound would serve to divert flow around the monitoring wells, so that only migration of contaminants through the underlying, higher-pressure volcanic units is currently monitored. A hydraulic high observed in an abandoned hole between the nuclear test and the monitoring wells further reduces the likelihood that HTH-1 and HTH-2 can intercept contaminant migration. Hydrologic logs from a postshot well, drilled into the nuclear detonation zone, reveal inflow at about 485 m below land surface that drives strong vertical flow both up and down the well to outflow zones at about 350 m and 600 m. Although hydrologic relationships between the cavity, the rubble chimney, and the surrounding alluvium are unknown, migration from the site has probably not yet occurred, because regional hydraulic pressures are greater than those observed in this postshot hole.     

Engineering geological characterization of low strength anisotropic rocks in the Himalayan region for assessment of tunnel support

A detailed engineering geological assessment of low strength (6–35 MPa) anisotropic rocks at an ongoing Hydroelectric Project in the Himalayan Region has been carried out. The project (the Nathpa Jhakri Hydroelectric Project) will have one of the world's largest and longest water conducting systems, consisting of a 10.15 m diameter and 27.3 km long head race tunnel, a 942 000 m³ underground desilting complex and a 20 × 49 × 216 m powerhouse cavern in the area. Because these constructions are made in low strength metamorphosed anisotropic rocks like quartz mica schists, biotite schists and muscovite schists, it seemed necessary and worthwhile to undertake a comprehensive study of such rocks. The studies include petrographic and petrofabric analyses of the rocks, geo-mechanical properties, rock stress measurements, rock mass classification using the Q-System and data concerning joint geometry, joint roughness and joint strength. The use of mapped geological and geotechnical data along with the experimental and modelling studies have helped to better understand the behaviour of these rocks in underground openings.     

A complex earth slide–earth flow induction by the heavy rainfall in July 2006, Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan

A seasonal rain front (Baiu front) accompanied a long-term accumulation of precipitation propagated over the wide areas of the main island of Japan during 15–24 July 2006. In Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture, several flow-type landslides occurred in the early morning of 19 July 2006, claiming eight lives. Among these landslides, a most peculiar complex earth slide–earth flow occurred on a north gentle slope of the upstream portion of the Motosawagawa River. In the source area, volcanoclastic soils overlying tuffaceous rocks at about 4-m depth slid due to the prolonged precipitation that raised the water table level in the soil. Along with the travel path, the failed materials fluidized causing the liquefaction of the volcanoclastic soils underlain by volcanic black ash soils. The resulting flow spread over a wide area up to the final deposition. Constant volume box-shear tests on undisturbed volcanoclastic soil specimens taken from the source area showed effective normal stress tended to decrease during shearing. The ring shear tests on saturated disturbed specimens produced the large loss of shear resistance, which may explain the fluidized motion of the complex landslide.
