Abstract
Based on the elastic theory and the seepage flow theory, a new analytical solution with consideration of the seepage force is proposed to determine the external stress on the lining of a circular TBM tunnel. According to this solution, the relationships between the permeability coefficient of rock masses and the maximum allowable drainage flow are studied. The influence of the controlled drainage flow and the elastic modulus of surrounding rocks on the external stress is discussed. Moreover, in order to validate the results obtained from the elastic analytical solution developed in this paper, a comparison between the results obtained from the solution considering the seepage force and that without consideration of the seepage force is performed.
