Design Equations for Predicting Stability of Unlined Horseshoe Tunnels in Rock Masses

Design Equations for Predicting Stability of Unlined Horseshoe Tunnels in Rock Masses

This paper aims to propose new stability equations for the design of shallow, unlined horseshoe tunnels in rock masses. The computational framework of the upper- and lower-bound finite-element limit analysis is used to numerically derive the stability solutions of this problems using the Hoek–Brown...
