A quantitative evaluation of the load bearing capacity of ground and characteristic curves of tunnelingBy T. Nishimura, H. Kiyama, K. Wakimoto
Discussion on the load bearing capacity of ground and the stability of tunnel is presented. We derive a simplified solution of a circular lined-tunnel in an elastic ground. The solution results in a b
