Safety Assessment of Circular Arches Tunnel Evacuation on Surrounding Geotechnical Environment

Based on the stochastic medium theory,influence on the surrounding rock and soil by tunnel excavation was studied.formula for predicting movement and deformation of rock and soil mass caused by tunnelling were deduced.And especially for the tunnel with circular arch section,half analytic solution for this problem was put forward.Furthermore,a program was developed to compute the movement and deformation of the rock and soil mass resulted from excavation.The deformation failure criterion of stochastic medium for estimating the surroundings safety was provided and was applied in an engineering example,which proved that the results of the research were reasonable and significant for the tunnel safety construction.
