A037 Use of acoustic method to study rock mass in tunnel engineering 1 A. ANTSIFEROV M. TIRKEL A. GLUKHOV V. ANTSIFEROV UkrNIMI NANU 291 Chelyuskintsev St. 83121 Donetsk Ukraine Abstract In this article procedure for acoustic prediction of structural-tectonic structure of rock mass is given through a case history of engineering survey in construction of the tunnel through the Markotkhsky ridge (Krasnodarsky krai Russia). Introduction Many underground structures require engineering-geological research at all stages of design and construction. Conducting of research is of special significance in tunnel engineering. Tunnels are both difficult for construction and maintenance and also expensive and
