Stability analysis on tunnels with karst caves using the distinct lattice spring model

The effects of karst caves on tunnel stability were numerically investigated using the distinct lattice spring model (DLSM). The DLSM was validated by investigating the mechanical behavior of Brazilian discs with various sizes of central circular holes. Then, the effects of karst cave on U-shaped tu...
