| Popis: | The Rogun hydropower plant is being constructed in Tajikistan, in the valley of the Vakhsh River. The construction site is located in a narrow gorge separating the Vakhsh and Surkh-Ku ridges. Most of the hydroelectric complex structures are located within a single tectonic block, which is bounded by two faults - Ionakhsh and Gulizindan, which are proximal to the Vakhsh regional fault. The study of stress distribution around the diversion tunnel was carried out by numerical simulation, which aimed to identify the stress distribution in the strongly dislocated heterogeneous rock massif before and after the tunnel creation. The underground cavity of the tunnel is a significant factor influencing the natural stress field of the rock massif. An area with critical values of the strength coefficient in the working roof, caused by the presence of a weak layer of Lower Cretaceous siltstones, is revealed in the tunnel location. The size of this area reaches two tunnel diameters. The change of stresses and their concentration around the underground working can cause deformations in the roof (collapse or rock bumps). |
