Abstrait:

The stability of the tunnel face is a top priority in a tunnel construction. The estimation of the earth pressure acting in front of the face is essential for the stability evaluation of the face, and many model experiments have been conducted to understand the characteristics of face stability. On the other hand, there are many cases in which the stability of the tunnel face is evaluated by limiting analysis assuming a constant slip region by applying the loosening earth pressure derived by Terzaghi as a boundary condition, but the actual slip region is not always constant and expanded progressively accompanying by the collapse of the face. There are few past studies that have considered this phenomenon. In this study, a estimation method of the tunnel face pressure are developed in consideration of the progress of face collapse. The proposed method is a kind of limit equilibrium method. Assuming a slip line with two ellipses with the same center and different radii, the first-order linear differential equation of earth pressure in the tunnel face direction is calculated from the equilibrium for infinitesimal elements in the circumferential direction.
