摘要
Based on Hangzhou canal tunnel project, the explicit differential code FLAC3D was applied to investigate the blow-out failure of tunnel face. The case of Hangzhou canal tunnel was investigated, an agreement between the upper bound solution and numerical solution was discovered. The results show that partial failure existing on the up part of face is found instead of integrate failure. The ratio of failure height to tunnel diameter is majorly affected by the cover depth, but little influenced by frictional angles of soils. Furthermore, on the ground surface, the soil upheaving starts where is above the tunnel face. The ratio of upheaving length to the tunnel diameter is 1.5. This study improves the evaluation of the upper limit support pressure for the blow-out failure and the relevant theoretical foundation is cemented. © 2017, Central South University Press.
