• Various profiles are conceivable, e.g. rectangular ones.
• The most widespread ones, however, are circular (a) and mouth profiles (b)

TUNNELING TECHNIQUES
INTRODUCTION - GEOMETRIC CONSIDERATIONS
 Geometrical considerations – Cross sections
• A mouth profile is composed of circular sections.
• The ratio of adjacent curvature radiuses should not exceed 5 (r1/r2 < 5).
• The minimum radius should not be smaller than 1.5 m.
• Note that in the case of weak rock the lower part of the lining also receives load from
the adjacent ground.
•Therefore, a curved profile is advisable from a statical point of view also in the invert
• The following relations refer to geometrical properties of mouth profiles.
• With the initial parameters r1, r2, r3 it is obtained:

• A typical problem of tunnel design is to fit a rectangle into a mouth profile

It is assumed that the lower edges of the rectangle are on the circle with
radius r3
