The stability of shallow circular tunnels in soil considering variations in cohesion with depth

This paper presents an upper bound investigation of the three dimensional stability of a tunnel face in a deposit of soil whose strength varies with depth. The upper bound theorem of limit analysis incorporating the linear variation of the soil cohesion with depth was used to calculate the pressure...
