The Stability Analyses of Tunnel Faces in Saturated Soils with Soil Arching Effect by Liu An, Xi Mingxing, Liu Jun

“…After verification, based on the failure mechanism, this paper discusses the impact of the changing water level and the soil parameters on the normalized supporting pressure and meanwhile analyzes the variation of the shape of collapsing domain of soils ahead of the tunnel face considering the soil arching effect. The results illustrate that soils with the bigger friction angle form the arch more easily during excavation, and with higher water height, the soil arching effect appears not as obvious as expected, particularly on those soils with the smaller friction angle.…”
