Abstract

The Bakun hydroelectric project includes the construction of a hydroelectric power plant with an installed capacity of 2,520MW and a power transmission system connecting to the existing transmission networks in Sarawak and Western Malaysia, The power station will consist of a 210m height concrete faced rockfill dam. During the construction of the dam and the power facilities the Balui river has to be diverted by three diversion tunnels with a length of some 1,400m each. The inner diameter of the tunnels is 12m and the tunnel width is 16m at the portal area. This paper describes the stability analysis and design methods for the open cut rock slopes in the inlet and outlet area of the diversion tunnels. The geotechnical parameters employed in stability calculations were given as a function of four. defined Rock Mass Types (RMT) which were based on RMR system from Bieniawski. The stability calculations procedure of the rock slopes are divided into two stages. In the first stage, it is calculated for the stability of each 'global' slope without any rock support and shotcrete system. In the second stage, it is calculated for each 'local'slope stability with berms and supported with rock bolts and shotcrete. The monitoring instrumentation was performed continuously and some of the design modification was carried out in order to increase the safety of failed area based on the unforeseen geological risks during the open cut excavation.

Bakun 수력발전 공사계획은 2.520MW의 수력발전소 건설과 여기에서 생산된 전기를 말레이시아 반도와 사라왁주로 공급하기 위한 송전선 공사로 구성된다. 발전소는 210m 높이의 콘크리트 지수판형 사력댐으로 건설되며, 댐과 수력발전시설을 건설하기에 앞서 Balui강을 우회시키기 위해 연장 1,400m, 내부 직경 12m, 갱구지역에서 터널 폭 16m인 가배수로 터널 3개가 열대우림 퇴적암 지대에 건설중에 있다. 본 논문은 가배수로 터널의 입.출구 지역에 존재하는 대규모 암반사면에 대한 안정성 평가와 이에 따른 최적 설계방법에 대하여 논의하였다 안정성 평가에 적용된 지반공학적 변수들은 RMR system를 기초로 하여 정의된 4개의 암반유형(RMT: Rock Mass Type)에 따라 결정되었으며, 사면에 대한 안정성 평가는 전체 사면과 지역적 사면으로 구분하여 수행되었다. 전체사면에 대한 안정성 평가에서는 록볼트, 숏크리트가 없는 상태에서 안정성 분석이 수행되었으며, 전체 사면내의 일부 불안정한 지역에 대해서는 소단 및 록볼트, 숏크리트가 시공된 상태를 고려하여 이에 대한 안정해석을 수행하였고. 지속적인 계측을 실시하였으며, 불안정하여 붕괴된 부분은 설계 변경하여 보다 안전하게 시공하였다.
