A ground reaction curve (GRC) of a 3 m radius unlined circular tunnel is shown in the figure. The tunnel is supported by 300 mm thick shotcrete lining. The uniaxial compressive strength (
), modulus of elasticity (
) and Poisson’s ratio (
) of shotcrete material are 20 MPa, 15 GPa and 0.25 respectively. The maximum capacity (
) of the lining and its stiffness (
) are given as
where
= radius of the unlined tunnel and
= thickness of the lining.If the lining is constructed after 5 mm radial deformation, the support reaction is best represented by the line
