A novel solution for ground reaction curve of tunnels in elastoplastic strain softening rock masses

Ground Reaction Curve (GRC) is one of the most important elements of convergence-confinement method generally used to design tunnels. Realistic presentation of GRC is usually assessed based on the advanced rock strength criteria, also, rock mass behavior (including plasticity and softening treatment...
