Popis: This paper aims at analyzing the influence of non-associated flow rule on passive face instability for shallow shield tunnels. The influence exerted by dilation angle on the limit support pressures, the failure zones and partial failure ratios is investigated by numerical simulations. Based on the failure zone obtained from numerical simulation, a log-spiral mechanism is proposed. The upper-bound theorem is employed to acquire the limit support pressures, failure zones and partial failure ratios. The analytical results indicate that dilation angle has a significant influence on the limit support pressure and failure mechanisms. Finally, by comparison with the numerical models and existing analytical models, the results indicate that the proposed log-spiral model has a certain accuracy in analyzing the face instability of blow-out.
