Collapsed Shape of Shallow Unlined Tunnels Based on Functional Catastrophe Theory
This paper investigates the collapse mechanisms and possible collapsing block shapes of shallow unlined tunnels under conditions of plane strain. The analysis is performed following the framework from a branch of catastrophe theory, functional catastrophe theory. First, the basic principles of funct...
