Abstract

Tunnel invert is the weak section of curved beam on tunnel foundation, and it is easy to break down. Based on the curved beam theory on elastic foundation, the curved beam model of tunnel invert was established, the displacement equations of tunnel invert under external load were deduced, and the formulas of settlement of tunnel bottom and the pressure of rock mass were presented. By means of the calculating formulas, the distribution laws of settlement of tunnel bottom and pressure of rock mass were obtained when tunnel bottom was strengthened and not strengthened by high pressure jet grouting piles. The final formulas in the paper are precise to predict the settlement of tunnel bottom and pressure of rock mass, so they are of great value for tunnel design and construction.
