A Study on Excavation Characteristics of Tunnel with Upper-Soft Lower-Hard Stratum by Jun Feng, Hui-juan Yang, Yu Zhang

“…The results revealed the following: (1) Under all three excavation methods, the tunnel deformation was small and met the requirements for tunnel deformation control. (2) Due to the different excavation support sequence, the distribution of lining bending moment of the three excavation methods was widely different. The bending moment of the lining produced by the positive benching method was far less than that of the other two methods. (3) Due to the difference in lithology, the stress of the tunnel lining in the thick upper “soft” and “hard” strata was mainly concentrated on the upper soft rock area, while the stress in the lower hard rock area was relatively small, and the lining stress value generated using the three excavation methods was relatively large. …”
