Design and Construction Of Tunnels For the Spallation Neutron Source Project
This paper presents lessons learned from the structural design and construction of the Linear Accelerator Tunnel, the Ring Tunnel, the Ring to Target Beam Transfer (RTBT) Tunnel, and other surface facilities for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Project of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Stringent design criteria and unique site geologic formation make up the uniqueness of the design and construction of the tunnels for this Project. The unique criteria include the required long service life of these tunnels and facilities in comparison to other general civil infrastructure, the required minimum differential settlement in the tunnels and their connections to other surface facilities, the required consideration of structural material to sustain a specified radiation dosage, and the requirement to survive the seismic event specified. Specific site geology, such as the Karst (sinkhole) formation, and its impact and remedies on the construction of these tunnels are also discussed.
