Upper bound of tunnel face stability using asymmetric yielding

Although significant advancement has been made over recent years with respect to three-dimensional upper bound calculations of tunnel facing, a considerable difference still exists between analytically and empirically based stability values. The current work suggests that the difference may well be...
