Deformation and Failure of the Tymfristos Tunnel, Greece
The Tymfristos tunnel, a 1,365 m long road tunnel with an 11 m section diameter, was excavated through the highly tectonized, low strength Flysch formation of central Greece.
About 1 year after the completion of the excavation in 1995, convergence of up to 20% followed by failure of the support system was recorded.

A result of such plastic deformation of the ground is the tunnel closure which overwhelms the capacity of the support shell (shotcrete and steel sets) leading to failure.
The geographic distribution and timing of such a failure can be recorded by geodetic observations describing the kinematics of the tunnel support, as well as by observations of distribution in space and in time of cracks of the support for two major tunnels recently excavated in central Greece, the Tymfristos and Kallidromo tunnels.
Both these tunnels were excavated through low strength and high deformability rock masses (argillaceous schist, sandstone etc.).
