Alignment Surveys
Relative alignment of the tunnel is surveyed by installing
alignment markers in a line in the invert or crown of the
tun nel, and periodically resurveying this line by offset
proce dures to determine and measure lateral deformation.
Dis tances between markers are initially measured and
tied to stationing to facilitate identification and reference
to plans. Distances are not normally remeasured during
resurvey.
Deformation
Deformation of the tunnel cross section is directly mea
sured by repetitive extensometer readings between
markers affixed to the tunnel wall or lining. The
extensometer mea sures changes in tunnel diameter on
selected axes of the tun nel cross section (Figures 3-37
and 3-38).
Changes in cross section can also be monitored using
repetitive theodolite survey of targets installed in the
tunnel wall. A survey baseline consisting of markers set at
approxi mately 100 ft intervals is established in the invert
or crown and tied by precise horizontal and vertical survey
to the tun nel baseline and vertical datum. Double-faced,
reflectorized survey markers are established in the tunnel
wall to define the horizontal axis, and in the crown to
define the vertical axis of each selected cross section. The
initial survey con sists of a precise EDM traverse through
