To calculate
the stress and displacement of a circular tunnel in soft surrounding rock
during large deformation, the elastoplastic solution of the ideal elastoplastic
model for soft surrounding rock is derived using the unified strength theory of
triple shear stress and logarithmic strain in Lagrangian coordinates
considering the influence of principal stress sequence and seepage under three
working conditions of construction, operation, and maintenance periods. Then,
the effects of elastic modulus, Poisson′s ratio, pore water pressure,
and strength criterion on plastic zone thickness and radial displacement of the
tunnel wall are analyzed. The results reveal the following: (1) With an
increase in elastic modulus, the plastic zone thickness of the surrounding rock
during the construction period increases gradually and stabilizes at a certain
value (small strain solution), and during the operation period, it decreases
gradually and stabilizes at a certain value (small strain solution); whereas
the radial displacement of the tunnel wall during construction and operation
periods decreases with an increase in elastic modulus. (2) The Poisson′s ratio has little impact on the plastic zone thickness of the
surrounding rock during construction and operation periods, whereas the radial
displacement of the tunnel wall increases linearly with an increase in Poisson′s ratio. (3) With an increase in pore water pressure, the plastic
zone thickness of the surrounding rock and the radial displacement of the
tunnel wall during the construction period increase, whereas during the
operation period, they decrease. (4) The plastic zone thickness and the radial
displacement of the tunnel wall vary significantly under various strength
criteria. (5) The variations in the plastic zone thickness and the radial
displacement of the tunnel wall during the maintenance period are similar to
those observed during the construction period. However, for the circular tunnel
with large deformation in soft surrounding rock, the derived elastoplastic solution
clearly differs from the small strain solution.
