A Proposed Algorithm to Compute the Stress-Strain Plastic Region and Displacement of a Deep-Lying Tunnel Considering Intermediate Stress and Strain-Softening Behavior

Past studies on deep-lying tunnels under the assumption of plane strain have generally neglected the influence of intermediate principal stress even though this affects the surrounding rocks in the plastic zone. This study proposes a finite difference method to compute the stress strain plastic regi...
