Modelling time-dependent plastic behaviour of geomaterials

Abstract: Representing the time-dependent plastic behaviour of geomaterials is a critical issue in the correct application of tunnelling design techniques such as the convergence-confinement method or numerical modelling. Furthermore, during underground excavations below the water table, the effect of seepage flow cannot be ignored, and the behaviour of the tunnel must be analysed in a coupled hydro-mechanical framework. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse the response of tunnels excavated in saturated… Show more

“…Under conditions of softening and seepage, the plastic zone can be appropriately decomposed. Indeed, since rocks typically lose their strength in deep underground engineering [52][53][54][55][56], the plastic residual zone and plastic softening zone are the two main components of the plastic zone. Represented by R pr and R ps , respectively, the radius of the plastic residual zone and that of the softening zone, the adopted mechanical model is schematically illustrated in Figure 6.…”
