Strength, deformability and permeability of kakiritic rocks from the Gotthard base tunnel
The 57-km long, new Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT) crosses over a 1.1-km long stretch containing kakirites, i.e. weak rocks which, depending on the degree of tectonisation, may exhibit severe squeezing behaviour upon tunnel excavation. This tunnel stretch was already identified as a key problem in the e...
