An Analytical Continuous Upper Bound Limit Analysis of Pore Water Effect on the Tail Stability of Underwater Shield Tunnels during Construction

An analytical continuous upper bound limit analysis is developed to analyse the effects of seepage on the transverse stability of underwater shield tunnels. The approach is based on an analytical continuous upper bound limit analysis method for cohesive-frictional soils. It employs the complex varia...
