Modulus of deformation is recognized as one of the important parameters governing the rock mass behaviour. It is experienced that tunnel sections generally take long time to stabilise. These time-dependent deformation effect the tunnel lining along with the modulus of deformation of the rock mass. The in-situ deformation/closure data from 37 arched tunnel sections through non-squeezing ground conditions have been collected and equations obtained from two models viz. Burger’s four elements and Polynting’s three elements were used to develop correlation for estimating time-dependent deformation modulus. The study suggest that time for ninety per cent tunnel closure/deformation is less both for good quality rock and larger span of tunnel. The concept of retarded creep appears to be valid for weak and dry rock masses around a supported tunnel in non-squeezing conditions.
