Abstract

This paper investigates the stability of a plane strain circular tunnel in cohesive soils. A strength
reduction technique and the finite difference program FLAC, are used to determine the factor of safety for
unsupported circular tunnels. Results from the finite difference approach are presented alongside rigorous upper and lower bound limits computed using Optum G2. A thorough comparison between these two methods
finds very good agreement. As the model is shown to be accurate, design charts are presented for a wide range
of practical scenarios using dimensionless ratios. The potential usefulness of this approach is demonstrated
using a number of examples. This is considered a simpler way of analysing the stability of an unsupported
tunnel that may be as practical as similar methods used in slope stability analysis, such as the commonly used
Taylor’s design charts.

Keywordscircular tunnel, stability, factor of safety, undrained clay, FLAC, Optum G2, strength reduction method, design chart
