SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 1996 LOS ANGELES TIMES TUNNEL: Reports Tell of -Ins, Trouble With Steel Supports Continued from A1 MTA's engineering consultants had foreseen the need for stronger tunnel supports before the digging machine was trapped. The MTA and contractor said the machine became lodged because of "squeezing" ground as it sat motionless over the four -day Fourth of July weekend. The contractor, Indiana-based Traylor six-inch ribs to support the first 730 feet of its tunnel, then switched to four-inch ribs for the next 210 feet. examination of the A builder's shows contract that the with four- the inch- wide steel ribs were two inches narrower than the minimum width originally specified by design engineers. MTA project manager Charles Stark confirmed that a panel of the agency's construction executives and consulting engineers permitted the switch to the narrower steel because they believed that rock discovered during mining was firmer than tunnel designers expected.

Speaking of a representative for the contractor, Stark said: "He asked for a substitution and we allowed it." Most Red Line tunnels have been supported with thick rings of precast concrete. According to Stark, MTA consultants who designed 1 the cross-mountain tunnel believed that Hollywood Hills sedimentary rock and granite would hold up better than the sand and soft rock that make up the Los Angeles Basin and San Fernando Valley floor. The designers therefore gave contractors who bid on this job the option of supporting their tunnel with either thick rings of concrete, which are strongest but most costly, or with much lighterweight steel ribs, Stark said. Since the digging machine's entrapment, the MTA has ordered Traylor Bros. to replace 44 of the four wide steel tunnel support ribs with stronger six-inch supports.

Only eight sets of fourinch steel ribs will remain in the tunnel, Stark said. According to three experts who have evaluated the inspection reports for The Times, the problems described are not typical of most underground excavation operations. The three authorities, all veteran miners or construction executives, asked not to be identified. One works for a Metro Rail contractor, another for a state inspection agency and the third owns a private mining business. Said one: "This whole setup, using four -inch steel ribs in soft rock, sounds crazy.

I can't understand why didn't shut the operation down and come up with another support system." Said another: "They can limp along doing it this way and make it work by concrete in the and adding extra sets of bigger steel -it just costs money. The slower you go the more it costs. The question is who will pay." In the MTA's defense, Z. Daniel Eisenstein, a University of Alberta civil engineering professor and head of the agency's tunnel advisory panel, said he found nothing wrong with the MTA's decision to originally allow Traylor to use four -inch ribs "as long as they were properly installed." He dismissed the troubles described in the inspection reports as no more serious than a "flat tire" at the start of a long auto trip. MTA officials also point out that no miners have suffered major injuries and that the tunnel has never been in danger of collapsing.

Traylor which is based in Indiana and considered one of the nation's top construction firms, is forbidden by its MTA contract from talking to the news media. JMA, the consortium of engineering firms supplying inspectors to oversee the quality of Traylor work, is likewise unable to comment. The MTA has declined to estimate the cost of the delay, but industry experts peg it at a minimum of $40,000 a day, or at least $1.6 million so far. It has not been determined whether the MTA or Traylor Bros. will pay for the costs of the repairs and delay.

Although no workers have been killed in the decade- long construction of the subway, the project has suffered safety problems -from underground fires and runaway trains to near -escapes from a gaping Hollywood Boulevard sinkhole. Traylor Bros. was cited for three violations of state safety laws classified as "serious" by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health in June. Only once in the month and a half of reports on the cross-mountain tunnel examined by The Times did an inspector make an unequivocally upbeat remark on the excavation. "This was a good shift for the contractor.

No voids, ground looking better," one inspector wrote about the June 24 swing shift. The next day, however, miners were forced to spend five hours setting a single ring of steel support ribs in place- a job that normally takes less than 30 minutes. And then an underground train caring derailed as it carried away muck, halting work for hours. The inspectors' reports- 3-which are not given to MTA construction executives -recite a litany of woes. Observations of unstable sandstone that crumbled, forming giant voids that had to be stuffed with pieces of timber and a concretelike mixture called shotcrete, are frequent in the reports.

At the same time, according to the reports, water occasionally rained from rock fissures into the tunnel at a rate of 30 gallons a minute. That was not a lot, according to Eisenstein. But it was enough to turn the rock into a slippery goo that gummed up the Obituaries Obituaries Edward E. Tuttle; Engineer and Lawyer Founded Tuttle Taylor Edward E. Tuttle, founder and name partner of the prestigious Los Angeles law firm of Tuttle Taylor, has died.

He was 88. Tuttle died Thursday at his Pasadena home from the complications of Parkinson's disease. Born in Los Angeles in a family of lawyers and state legislators, Tuttle studied engineering at Caltech and law at USC. In his practice, he specialized in legal problems of agricultural cooperatives. Concurrently, Tuttle was a registered mechanical engineer, and from the age of 13 held a first -class commercial radio operator's license.

During World War II, Tuttle served as group supervisor on Caltech classified projects, including the Manhattan Project to develop the atom bomb. His work earned him the Naval Ordnance Development Award and the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development Award. While practicing law, Tuttle also served as president of Essick Manufacturing and at the time of his death remained president of Essick Investment Co. A community leader, he served as president of the Welfare Planning Council and was a trustee of Pomona Edward E.

Tuttle College and on the boards of the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, Claremont University Center, Caltech Associates and the Merchants and Manufacturers Assn. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Helen Fowler Tuttle, their son, Edward F. Tuttle, and four grandchildren. The family has asked that any memorial contributions be made to Caltech or Pomona College. James R.

Traylor Bros. made the effort with grout to slow it down but have had no luck. Hand mucking is ongoing." During the June 12 evening shift, inspector Amarat Wipaghathagit wrote: "Mining stopped approximately two feet because of caving-in of ground from the right and the ground caving in." During the June 19 night shift, Wipaghathagit wrote: "Observed many places of ground breaking on the left side of the of the New wire mesh support could not hold the ground, which created many deep pocket saggings." Ideally, Stark said, Metro Rail tunnel contractors are expected to advance an average of 100 a day.

But in the first 940 feet of what will ultimately be a 2.3-mile tunnel, Traylor Bros. only once advanced as much as 50 feet a day, records show. Blame for the pace can be partially attributed to problems that are typical at the start of a job, the experts said. Yet difficulty in installing the steel ribs, the experts agreed, apparently was the result of a failure by design engineers to foresee that the heavily faulted crushed shale in the area would compress into the tunnel. Stark said their engineers have not concluded a study to determine what went wrong.

In the past, he has told the agency's board of directors that he believes the minreleased "stored compressive energy" in a fold of shale only in the 60-foot stretch where the tunneling machine became wedged in the mountain. He also said the size of the tunnel had "relaxed," or moved in several inches, only in that particular section. However, from June 20 to the day before the holiday weekend, inspectors were noting that miners were having a very hard time installing the support ribs. In many cases, by the timed the digging machine stopped, the diameter of the tunnel had shrunk as the ground compressed into the tunnel. On June 24, inspector Arthur Glaubert wrote during the day shift: "Contractor was very slow.

Autopsy Report Says Belli Died of Natural Causes SAN FRANCISCO -An autopsy has found that famed attorney Melvin Belli died of natural causes. The report released Friday revealed that Belli, who was 88, died of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, said city coroner's office spokesman Herb Hawley. Belli also was suffering from pancreatic cancer. Belli's son, Caesar Belli, had requested the autopsy, claiming that the circumstances surrounding his father's July 9 death were suspicious. Coroner's officials said investigators found traces of morphine in Belli's blood, but they said the levels were consistent with its medical use as a pain medication for cancer.

"Based on all the tests we've done, Boyd Stevens is confident that the cause of death is cardiac-related," Hawley said. Belli's death had come just before a planned court showdown over the assets of his law firm, which had been forced into bankruptcy this year. Caesar Belli had accused Nancy Ho Belli, the lawyer's wife of 11 weeks, of attempting to sell off those assets, including some promised to Caesar and the couple's children.
