The Expression of Seismic Surrounding Rock Pressure for a Shallow Tunnel Is Derived Using the Pseudostatic Method

Terzaghi developed a generalized expression of the vertical surrounding rock pressures of shallow tunnels by considering the limit equilibrium of soil masses. In this paper, based on the Terzaghi failure mode, the pseudostatic method is used to derive this expression under seismic loading conditions...
