6.1 Introduction
A tunnel is much more than just a tunnel.It serves any of myriad functions-highway,railroad,or rapid transit artery;pedestrian passageway;fresh water conveyance,cooling water supply;wastewater collector or transport;hydropower and cover methods;in long,prefabricated sections sunk in place as in immersed tubes;in short prefabricated sections pushed into place from jacking pits;by drilling or blasting;by mechanized means such as tunnel boring machines or continuous miners (roadheaders),with the aid of a protective shield in free or compressed air;and they will eventually be constructed in ways now existing only in our imaginations.
In cross section,a tunnel takes one of several shapes-circular,multicurve,horseshoe,cathedral arch,arched,or flat-roofed,and with clear spans of from a few feet to more than 50 ft and,in cavern form,much wider.Its length can vary from less than 100 ft to more than 30 miles.A tunnel can be located in any of a variety of places-under mountains,cities,rivers,lakes,sea estuaries,straits,or bays.Finally,a tunnel is constructed in one of innumerable media-soft ground,mixed face,rock,uniform,jumbled,layered,dry,wet,stable,flowing,and squeezing.
Most of all,a tunnel exists because there is demonstrated need-to move people or material where no other means is practical or adequate,or to accomplish the required movement more directly,more quickly,or less obtrusively.The need may be for storage,either short term as for storage of storm water flows to reduce the otherwise high peak capacities required of wastewater treatment plants,or longer term as for storage of vital raw material or products.
A tunnel also is more than a hole in the ground to provide for a desired movement of people or material.To accomplish the movement satisfactorily,one or more of a variety of facilities in simple or complex form must be provided in addition to the continuous space.The most obvious need for highway tunnel is ventilation.Fresh air must be supplied in proportion to tunnel usage.The air also must be of reasonable purity;this requires constant monitoring for pollutants and consequent adjustment of the air supply and exhaust.
