Popis: To overcome the defect that the support pressure is required to be measured or supposed in elasto-plastic analysis in strain-softening rock mass, by the connection of the support pressure imposed on surrounding rock mass, without assuming the support pressure is known a priori, an improved model of solving plastic radius and the distribution of radial displacement around the circular tunnel is proposed. Based on Hoek-Brown yield criterion, the results obtained by strain-softening model are compared with those of elastic perfectly brittle and elastic perfectly plastic models. The examples reveal that the difference of plastic radius obtained by the three models is comparatively smaller, but the difference of radial displacement is comparatively larger. The proposed model overcomes some defects of the previous studies in deformation analysis for tunnel.
