Abstract

Many rock engineering projects today may face rock mechanics challenges such as particularly complicated geometry or excavation plan, and complicated geological conditions. There may be no similar existing experience to lean on. Thus, empirical methods have limitations and uncertainties in such cases. Therefore, SINTEF has developed a reliable rock engineering tool to deal with the challenges. The tool is a combination of Investigation, Numerical modelling, and Monitoring. We use the term “SINTEF-TRIPOD” for the methodology. This paper presents the application of the SINTEF-TRIPOD for few important infrastructure projects in Oslo, which are Follo Line metro project and a water supply project.
