Specification for Design of Hydraulic Tunnel1 General
1.0.1 This standard is formulated to standardize design of hydraulic tunnel, in order to make it safe in application, reasonable in economy, and advanced in technology.
1.0.2 This standard applies to design of Grades 1, 2 and 3 hydraulic tunnel in water resources and hydropower project while not applicable to that of hydraulic tunnel in lining of steel plate in rock and soil mass.
1.0.3 Grading of hydraulic tunnel shall be carried out according to the relevant requirements of GB 50201 Standard for Flood Control and SL 252 Standard for Classification and Flood Control of Water Resources and Hydroelectric Project. Corresponding grades may be raised or reduced via demonstration for the following conditions:
1 Grades 2 and 3 tunnel in particularly complicated geological conditions, with particularly high head and velocity and possibly causing serious losses after accident may raise one grade.
2 Tunnels with low head, low velocity and not causing serious losses after accident may reduce one grade.
1.0.4 Safety monitoring design of hydraulic tunnel shall meet relevant requirements of SL 725 Design Specification for Safety Monitoring in Water and Hydropower Projects.
1.0.5 Design of hydraulic tunnel shall meet overall project planning and environmental protection requirements.
1.0.6 The following standards are mainly referred in this standard:
GB/T 21120 Synthetic Fibres for Cement Mortar and Concrete
