Elastic consolidation around a deep circular tunnel
Abstract
A method of analysis is presented for the consolidation of a linear elastic soil due to the cutting of a long and deep circular tunnel. Solutions were obtained for the time dependent displacements and stress changes occurring in the soil surrounding the tunnel opening.
