摘要:
Roof stability is a main concern in tunneling engineering. A modified Mohr-Coulomb (MC) strength criterion to reduce the overestimation of the tensile strength described from the MC strength criterion is employed in this work. An analytical stability analysis of three-dimensional (3D) tunnel roofs for both circular and rectangular tunnels in soil is performed based on collapse mechanisms composed of a series of right elliptical cones by limit analysis. Two kinds of tunnel roof stability measures, that is the stability number, and the minimum supporting pressure required to ensure the tunnel roof stability are derived. Optimization codes are programmed to search for the most critical stability measure solutions. Comparative analyses are conducted to verify this work, and the influences of the soil strength characteristics, tensile strength cutoff, and the 3D characteristics on both the stability and the failure pattern of tunnel roof are revealed. It is shown that a stability analysis of tunnel roof considering tensile strength cutoff derives more critical stability estimations, especially for a tunnel roof under a lower internal friction angle but a greater cohesion. The 3D geometrical characteristics of tunnel roof has significant influences on both the stability measures and the function of soil strength cutoff on the stability measures. Compared with circular tunnels, supporting pressures will always being needed for rectangular tunnels to maintain the stability of tunnel roof, especially under a full tensile strength cutoff condition.
