Abstract
The paper researches the aspects of automobile tunnels water-logging for both ordinary tunnels located at different level above and below surface and Winchester type tunnels. Integrated assessment of vulnerability and risk of the tunnels maintenance was carried out. The assessment included consideration of such parameters as the amount of precipitation and its duration, the level of the territory and ground water quality, as well as capacity of water drainage system. Evaluation of risk is performed with an easy-to-use technique developed and presented in current research. Results of modelling demonstrated higher water-logging risk of Winchester type tunnels compared to the classical types of tunnels. A set of recommendations to prevent possible floods in tunnels is provided basing on the performed research. © 2019 Newswood Limited. All rights reserved.
