The stability of shallow tunnels in rock based on limit analysis

Predicting the stability of long rock tunnels presents a significant challenge for geotechnical engineers. This arises due to the difficulty in evaluating the jointed rock mass strength, because rock masses are inhomogeneous, discontinuous media composed of rock material and naturally occurring disc...
