Three-dimensional stability analysis of tunnel face based on unified strength theory

Abstract The impact of cyclic footage and intermediate principal stress on the stability of the tunnel-face area are analyzed in this study using the theory of limit analysis. The study introduces the unified strength theory and proposes three-dimensional logarithmic spiral failure modes with corres...
