Rotational Failure Mechanism for Face Stability of Circular Shield Tunnels in Frictional Soils
Face stability analyses of shield-driven tunnels are often carried out to determine the required support pressure on the tunnel face. Although various three-dimensional mechanisms have been proposed for circular faces of tunnels in frictional and/or cohesive soils to obtain the limit support pressur...
