Displacement Analytic Solution of a Deep Elliptical Tunnel in Transversely Isotropic Rock Mass

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sedimentary rocks with layered structure account for two third of global land area, and this proportion is 77.3% in China, lots of metamorphic rocks also have significant features of layered structure, so there are a large number of stability problems about layered rock mass in mining engineering. Layered rock mass is generally considered to be transversely isotropic solid in mechanics. Based on the complex variable expression of displacement components of transversely isotropy, the displacement analytical solution of a deep elliptical tunnel in transversely isotropic rock mass is derived by conformal mapping method.
