Numerical analyses for three-dimensional face stability of circular tunnels in purely cohesive soils with linearly increasing strength
Abstract The tunnel face stability in purely cohesive soils with linearly increasing strength was investigated using three-dimensional finite element limit analysis (FELA). Both the collapse (active failure) and blow-out (passive failure) of the tunnel face were considered in the analysis. The rigor...
