Abstract:

Extensive instrumentation has been installed at Bell Common Tunnel to monitor the performance of a propped embedded retaining wall and the behaviour of the stiff clay in which it has been constructed. Earth and porewater pressures, ground and wall movements, and roof loading have been monitored during the construction period. The deformations and stresses measured at each stage of construction are presented and the performance of the wall is discussed.

Un système important d'instrumentations a été installé au tunnel de Bell Common pour contrôler le comportement d'un mur de soutènement encastré et celui de l'argile raide dans laquelle il a été construit. Pendant la période de construction on a contrôlé les pressions du sol et de l'eau interstitielle, les mouvements du sol et du mur et le chargement du mur. L'article presente les déformations et les contraintes mesurées à chaque étape de la construction et analyse le comportement du mur.
