STABILITY ANALYSIS OF A TUNNEL DRIVEN IN A ROCK MASS IN TAKING ACCOUNT OF THE POST-FAILURE BEHAVIOR

ANALYSE DE LA STABILITE D'UN TUNNEL CREUSE DANS UN MASSIF ROCHEUX EN TENANT COMPTE DU COMPARTEMENT APRES LA RUPTURE

The rock mass is assumed to be elastic up to the maximal strength, then it is characterized by a gradual loss of strengh with dilatancy down to the residual strength. The three dimensional effect of the tunnel face is considered. Instabilities may appear when the residual strength is reached at the tunnel wall. The support action is analyzed for this type of short term behavior in function of the time of its installation.
