| Abstract | This is the second volume of a three-volume report. This Volume 2 describes various groundwater control methods for keeping tunnels dry during the life of the structure. The methods discussed include means employed to provide impervious structural concrete, types of waterproofing membranes, methods used to seal segmented tunnel linings, grouting of soils and rock, and sealing sunken tube tunnels. Problems resulting from inadequate methods or failure of control measures are discussed as well as maintenance programs to maintain the integrity of various groundwater control systems. Volume 1 of this report describes the state-of-the-art of groundwater control methods employed during the construction of transportation tunnels. It also describes problems associated with inadequate groundwater control during the construction stage, and methods employed in geohydrological investigations and evaluation. Legal and contractual conditions are also discussed. Volume 1 is Report No. FHWA/RD - 81/073. Volume 3 contains guidelines for implementing groundwater control methods under varying site conditions, including compatibility of temporary and permanent measures. Recommendations for improvement of traditional and innovative control measures are also contained herein. Volume 3 is Report No. FHWA/RD - 81/075 |
