A New Numerical Finite Strain Procedure for a Circular Tunnel Excavated in Strain-Softening Rock Masses and Its Engineering Application
The small strain theory underestimates the self-bearing capacity of rock masses, especially for a soft rock tunnel under high geostress. To perform an efficient and accurate calculation and provide a reference for the stiffness design of a tunnel, the finite strain solution for a circular tunnel in...
