- W2065368950 abstract "The Townline road–rail tunnel is being constructed beneath the relocation of the Welland canal to the east of the city of Welland. Construction is by opencut and cut-and-cover through up to 80 ft (24 m) of lacustrine clays and clay tills. The lower stratified zone in the lacustrine clays has a minimum shear strength parallel to the bedding in some critical layers. Slope stability studies involved detailed sampling and testing, including block samples and 5-in.(13-cm) tube samples, and correlations with previous landslides in the area. These studies demonstrate that the mechanism of landslides in this stratigraphy involves a long flat portion of failure surface in the lower stratified zone, and that the shear strength available along this portion of the failure surface is consistent with the minimum shear strengths measured parallel to the bedding. Slopes as flat as 8.5:1 are required in areas which combine the deepest cuts and deepest overburden deposits.The concrete tunnel structure is being founded on bedrock consisting of a gypsiferous dolomite containing thick layers and lenses of essentially pure gypsum. Within the upper broken zone of the bedrock and some thin pervious lenses of sand and gravel immediately overlying the bedrock is an aquifer zone which is a major source of groundwater. Prior to construction, the piezometric level in this aquifer was approximately at the ground surface. The groundwater level in the aquifer zone had to be drawn down during construction and must be controlled throughout the life of the structure to provide for the stability of the overburden slopes. At the same time, the gypsum beneath the tunnel structure will be maintained intact by a drainage scheme which essentially isolates the rock beneath the structure from future groundwater flow, thereby precluding any significant solutioning of the gypsum." @default.
