Prestressed anchorage systems have been gradually applied in the treatment of large
deformation in soft rock tunneling. However, the research of support parameters on the …

Abstract The Sichuan–Tibet railway construction has received significant attention from both
China and abroad. The new section from Ya'an to Nyingchi is about 1018.6 km long …

This paper presents the analytical solutions for the responses of tunnels excavated in rock
masses exhibiting strain-softening behavior. Since previous analyses give little …

Face stability protection is a critical issue during large cross-section tunneling. This study
investigates the evolution mechanism of tunnel face instability with different ground …

The mechanical responses of tunnels reinforced by combined bolt–cable system are
investigated in this paper. An analytical model of the convergence-confinement type is …

Numerous subway tunnels have been built in soft upper and hard lower composite strata.
However, the stability and bearing capacity of composite strata are difficult to predict …

To investigate the interaction of the bolt-reinforced rock and the surface support, an
analytical model of the convergence-confinement type is proposed, considering the …

Large deformation has been a common engineering problem during the construction of
tunnels in areas with high geo-stress, the large deformation of layered surrounding rock …

This study investigates the interaction process between grouted bolts and tunnel
surrounding rock, and establishes an analytical model for deep tunnels reinforced with …

When an underwater tunnel is constructed using the drill-and-blast method, the rock mass
around the tunnel undergoes significant blasting damage. Quantifying the combined effect of …
