On the Influence of Direction-Dependent Behavior of Rock Mass in Simulations of Deep Tunneling Using a Novel Gradient-Enhanced Transversely Isotropic Damage–Plasticity Model

In engineering practice, numerical simulations of deep tunneling are commonly based on isotropic linear–elastic perfectly plastic rock models. Rock, however, commonly exhibits highly nonlinear and distinct direction-dependent mechanical behavior. The former is characterized by irreversible deformati...
