Abstract:Research purposes: The serious engineering disasters happened to Yuanliangshan Tunnel of Chongqiong- Huaihua Railway and Maluqing Tunnel of Yichang-Wanzhou Railway and caused huge economic loss and death and injury of persons , so it had been highly stressed on how to ensure the safety of karst tunnel construction effectively by the leaders at all levels of MOR. An introduction was given in this paper to all links of safe design, construction and management of karst tunnel in order to provide reference to safe construction of karst tunnel in future.
Research methods: According to the previous experience and lessons of construction of tunnel , the risk grade of karst tunnel was classified, the essential factors of safety of karst tunnel were analysed and the research was made on the main contents of essential factors of safety.
Research conclusions : The discrimination should be done and the countermeasures should be worked out in the courses of design, construction and management of karst tunnel for avoiding the risk. In the design period, the classification of risk degree should be made for karst tunnel and with it the relative design should be made. In the construction period, the training should be reinforced for security and the relative construction principle and method, risk discrimination and fleeing system should be implemented and provided in the whole course of construction. For those complicated karat tunnels, the prediction and forecast should be done in advance with special management and the treatment of karst should be done based on pragram and system with management of the special fund.
