초록

To properly simulate the excavation process and evaluate the structural stability of the tunnel, rigorous large deformation analysis method is necessary. This study applies two most widely used numerical approaches capable of modelling and considering the large deformations behavior during excavation process to analyze and evaluate the structural stability of circular tunnel based on tunnel boring machine (TBM) excavation. By comparing and combining the results from two numerical approaches, the deformation of the excavated ground will be analyzed. The stability of the circular tunnel from TBM tunneling was assessed based on the maximum deformation occurred during the excavation process. From the numerical computation it was concluded that although the range of the damage on the ground done during excavation was found to be larger under hard rock condition, maximum deformation within the circular tunnel structure was larger under weak ground conditions and deeper tunnel depths.
