Natm New Austrian Tunneling Method

The document discusses the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM). It provides a brief history of NATM, noting it was developed in Austria in the 1960s and first used for soft ground tunneling in Frankfurt in 1969. The document defines NATM as a tunnel support method that stabilizes the perimeter using sprayed concrete, anchors, and other supports, while mobilizing the strength of the surrounding rock mass. It outlines the broad principles of NATM, including rock mass strength mobilization, shotcrete protection, monitoring, primary lining installation, and rock mass classification.

HISTORY OF NATM

 The term New Austrian Tunneling Method


Popularly Known as NATM got its name from
Salzburg (Austria).

 It was first used by Mr. Rabcewicz in 1962. It got


world wise recognition in1964.

 The first use of NATM in soft ground tunnel in


Frankfurt (Europe) metro in 1969.
DEFINITION OF NATM

 The New Austrian Tunneling Method is a support


method to stabilize the tunnel perimeter by means
of sprayed concrete ,anchors and other support
and uses monitoring too control stability.

 Main idea is to use the geological stress of the


surrounding rock mass to stabilize the tunnel itself
BROAD PRINCIPLES OF NATM

 Mobilization of the strength of rock mass

 Shotcrete protection

 Measurements and monitoring

 Primary Lining

 Closing of invert

 Rock mass classification


MOBILIZATION OF STRENGTH OF
ROCK MASS
SHOTCRETE PROTECTION
MEASUREMENTS AND
MONITORING
PRIMARY LINING
Wire mesh and steel ribs
CLOSING OF INVERT
ROCK MASS CLASSIFICATION
WHY NATM

 Flexibility to adopt different excavation


geometries and very large cross sections.

 Flexibility to install additional support measures,


rock bolts, dowels, steel ribs if required.

 Easy to install a waterproof membrane.

 Easy to install primary support, i.e. shotcrete.


SUMMARY OF THE PROCEDURE IN
NATM
 SHOTCRETING AT THE EXCAVATED AREA(PRIMARY
LINING)
 PLACING OF THE WIREMESH ALONG THE FACEOF
THE TUNNEL
 ERECTION OF THE LATTICE GIRDER ALONG THE
FACE OF THE TUNNEL
 PERTICULAR TYPE OF ROCKBOLTING
 SHOTCRETING THE WHOLE
ARRENGEMENT(SECONDARY LINING)
CONCEPT OF 3D MONITORING

 3D MONITORING IS NEW TECHNIQUE USING FOR


TAKING THE RIGHT ALIGNMENT OF THE TUNNEL

 OPTICAL TARGETS ARE USED FOR DETRMINIG THE


COORDINATES FOR MEASUREMENTS

 THE COORDINATES SHOULD BE CHECKED DAILY

 IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE TUNNEL AS BY IT WE


KNOW ANY DISPLACEMENT AND WRONG
ALIGNMENTS
General
Optical Target
WHERE NATM IS USING IN INDIA

 PRESENTLY IT IS USING WIDLELY IN


KASHMIR RAILWAY PROJECT

 THEY ARE USING IT IN THEIR TUNNELS


LIKE IN PIR PANJAL TUNNEL , T-74R, T-
48 ETC
CONCLUSION

NATM approach of design and execution of the tunneling in soft ground is


advantageous and scientific way in comparision to the old way of tunneling. This
system monitors rock mass deformation and design the support system with
reference to the rock mass type .
