Quantitative index of leakage distress in railway tunnels.

Distress gradeClassification of distressPhysical truth of lining leakage

1Slight (c)Leakage water corrodes rails and worsens the track bed condition. Curing cycle is shortened. Distress will develop to level B.
2Serious (B)Dripping and seeping water in tunnels which cause track bed frost boiling.
3More serious (AI)Tunnel vault emits water and drops into a line. Rising soil is serious, which affects the normal operation.
4Extremely serious (AA)Water accumulates in the electric traction section. Tunnel vault leakage flows to overhead lines directly.
