Abstract
In this paper, the stress solutions around shallow buried tunnels with arbitrary shapes in transversely isotropic rock mass are derived. First, the hybrid penalty function method is employed to derive the mapping function from an arbitrarily shaped tunnel to a unit circle in the complex plane. Then the complex function method and the Schwartz alternating method are used to derive the solution of the studied problem. A MATLAB program is developed on the basis of the presented theory. Thereafter, the finite element results of ABAQUS are compared with those obtained by the presented solutions, which confirms the theoretical and computational accuracy of the proposed approach, and the impacts of transverse isotropy, tunnel depth, and tunnel shape on the surrounding rock stresses are discussed.
期刊介绍:
The journal welcomes manuscripts that substantially contribute to the understanding of the complex mechanical behaviour of geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete, ice, snow, and powders), through innovative experimental techniques, and/or through the development of novel numerical or hybrid experimental/numerical modelling concepts in geomechanics. Topics of interest include instabilities and localization, interface and surface phenomena, fracture and failure, multi-physics and other time-dependent phenomena, micromechanics and multi-scale methods, and inverse analysis and stochastic methods. Papers related to energy and environmental issues are particularly welcome. The illustration of the proposed methods and techniques to engineering problems is encouraged. However, manuscripts dealing with applications of existing methods, or proposing incremental improvements to existing methods – in particular marginal extensions of existing analytical solutions or numerical methods – will not be considered for review.
