Description
Summary:碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 營建工程系碩士班 === 90 === Construction processes are complex operations that include the uses of equipment, materials, crews and geological conditions. Simulation can be used to study these processes in order to make competent decisions that will lower costs and shorten the duration of the project before it has started. Tunneling is a highly repetitive construction operation and simulation can be used to analyze the process. The described research was done of the Ba-Guah Mountain Highway Tunnel Project on the central-west coast of Taiwan. CYCLONE methodology was used to simulate the tunneling processes. This project is unique because of the soil conditions. The gravel foundation ranged from loose to heavily compacted, which created a challenge building the 5km long twin-tube tunnel using NATM tunneling techniques. This research highlights the problems encountered with geological conditions as well what factors have affected the project’s progression.
