Support Estimation Using Ground
Reaction Curves
RocSupport is an easy to use software tool for estimating
deformation in circular or near circular excavations in weak rock
and visualization of the tunnel interaction with various support systems.
Given the tunnel radius, in-situ stress conditions, rock parameters
and support parameters, a ground reaction curve and a support reaction
curve are calculated. The intersection of these curves determines
a factor of safety for the support system.
RocSupport can be used as a tool for the preliminary design
of tunnels and support systems. It can provide valuable information
about various tunnel support options, before detailed analysis is
carried out with a finite element program such as Phase2.
The program is applicable to tunnels excavated in weak rock under
squeezing ground conditions. It is not applicable for excavations
in hard rock, where failure is controlled by structural discontinuities
or brittle failure.
