Resumen

For rectangular section tunnel construction, soil bin pressure fluctuates under biaxial emergence conditions. Support pressure is difficult to uniformly distribute, and it can easily cause instability of the tunneling face. The Silo-wedge model is used to perform horizontal strip splitting of parts of the soil at risk for instability under unsupported conditions. In the ultimate equilibrium analysis, the strength discounting method is introduced, a new expression for the safety factor is derived by combining the horizontal strip splitting equilibrium equations, and the safety factor is solved numerically. When the opening range is greater than 0.75 and the effective internal friction angle of the soil is less than 25°, the safety coefficient is less than 1, and destabilization damage is likely to occur. The field application of a box tunnel project in Suzhou demonstrates that the research results have good engineering applicability to the issue.
