Reliability analysis of shallow tunnels using the response surface methodology

A probabilistic study of a circular tunnel excavated in a soil mass using the response surface methodology (RSM) is presented. A deterministic model based on two-dimensional numerical simulations in a transversal section is used, and the serviceability limit state (SLS) is considered in the analysis...
