EVALUATION OF FUNCTION OF PASSIVE LOAD FOR TUNNEL LINING

A method to analyze the concrete lining of tunnels taking passive loads into consideration is proposed. The basic assumptions used are given as follows: the structural system of the tunnel lining is an arch under the plain strain condition supported elastically at the ends and passive loads acting on the lining are induced in proportion to displacement of the lining toward the surrounding rock over void between the lining and the rock. Using a mathematical model, many numerical results are obtained for various loading patterns, heights of the rock mass, thickness of the lining and the voids.
