FAULT-RELATED INSTABILITY PROBLEMS OF TUNNELS - THE HOST ROCK SLIP CRITERION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TUNNELING-INDUCED SHEAR DISPLACEMENTS

As one of the fault-related instability problems of tunnels, rock slip along fault plane is closely related to the shear strength of a fault, and usually causes irrecoverable and sometimes catastrophic engineering problems. In this paper, based on continuum assumption and Coulomb-slip failure, a cri...
