Analysis of Engineering Geological Uncertainties Related to Tunnelling in Himalayan Rock Mass Conditions
The need for tunnelling in Nepal, as in the Himalayan region in general, is enormous, particularly for hydropower development. Due to active tectonic movement and dynamic monsoon, the rock mass in the Himalaya is relatively weak and highly deformed, schistose, weathered and altered. Predicting rock...
