Undrained Stability Analysis of Shallow Tunnel and Sinkhole in Soft Clay: The Cavity Contraction Method

This paper presents theoretical methods for the undrained stability analysis of shallow tunnels/sinkholes in clay based on the cavity contraction theory, with some assumptions and simplifications. To examine the accuracy and reliability of the new methods, a database was assembled, which consists of...
