SQUEEZING POTENTIAL OF TUNNELS IN CLAYS AND CLAYSHALES FROM NORMALIZED UNDRAINED SHEAR STRENGTH, UNCONFINED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH AND SEISMIC VELOCITY (2009)
<p>The tunnel squeezing phenomenonwas first described byTerzaghi (1946)who associated squeezing mainly with clay-rich rocks. Consistent with Terzaghi&rsquo;s original description, the focus of this paper is on tunnels in clays and clay-rich rocks such as clayshales. ...
