Abstract

The deformation mechanism of surrounding rock during excavation is difficult to stability evaluation for large-span shallow-buried double-arch tunnel. Take Fenghuang mountain tunnel in Suzhou city as an example, the main work and funding are as follow: The measured data in the middle of the tunnel, including settlement on the top of the tunnel and deformation between two lateral walls, were used to calculate mechanical parameters by back analysis method. The obtained parameters were used to calculate the deformation and stress of the main tunnel excavation in the different steps. The rules includes time-space effect during main tunnel excavation, force mechanism of the middle wall and settlement on the ground surface for the surrounding rock in the main tunnel. Finally, the calculated settlement and deformation were compared to the monitoring results. The safety coefficient of surrounding rock for double-arch tunnel was obtained by strength reduction theory.
