Estimation of Rock Participation Factor through Hydro Tests of Pressure Shafts: A Case Study
Abstract: Pressure shafts for conveying water from fore-bay reservoir to power generating units are designed by taking advantage of surrounding rock mass in sharing internal design pressure. The ratio of internal pressure shared by surrounding rock mass to design pressure is known as rock participation factor (RPF). It is a very important parameter in economizing the cost of pressure shafts through saving of high strength steel. However, to ascertain share of …
