  1. NATM • NEW AUSTRIAN TUNNELING METHOD

  2. HISTORY OF NATM • The term New Austrian Tunneling Method Popularly Known as NATM got its name from Salzburg (Austria). • It was first used by MrRabcewicz in 1962. It got world wise recognition in1964. • The first use of NATM in soft ground tunnel in Frankfurt (Europe) metro in 1969. • The basic aim of NATM is for getting stable and economic tunnel support systems.

  3. DEFINITION OF NATM • The New Austrian Tunnelling 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.

  4. BROAD PRINCIPLES OF NATM • Mobilization of the strength of rock mass • Shotcrete protection • Measurements • Primary Lining • Rock mass classification • Dynamic Design

  5. 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. • TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) is not an effective method as compared to NATM .

  6. 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)

  7. SEQUENCE OF EXECUTION OF NATM

  8. 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

  9. General Optical Target

  10. General Optical Displacement Monitoring Free Stationing

  11. POINTS TO CARRY OUT A SUCCESSFUL NATM PROCESS • Consideration of rock mechanics • Selection of a proper profile • Design of flexible support and slender lining (in rock) • Careful excavation • Maintenance of rock strength, avoidance of loosening and over-breaks • Direct contact of rock/soil and support • Continuous control by geotechnical measurements • Installation of support without delay and in correct • sequence

  12. 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

  13. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
