Abstract

Before getting to the actual study of the load distribution factor in various excavating methods, this research is preliminarily focused on the comparison of two different excavation methods, CD cut method and Ringcut method. Especially, the purpose of this research is to study the behavioral mechanism of two tunnels which share the same construction environment but different excavating method. Two numerical analysis models with the same tunnel section and material properties are compared in this study, and they are analyzed by 3D Finite Element Analysis. In each model, face stability, crown displacement, ground settlement, and shotcrete-lining stress are computed. Thus, the general behavior of CD cut method and Ringcut method are studied, and it certified what should be considered for the calculation of the load distribution factor.
