Study on the tunneling response of TBM in stressed granite rock mass in Yinhan Water Conveyance tunnel

The initial stress of the surrounding rock mass will be redistributed during TBM tunneling in a deep tunnel. This process may induce brittle failure of the surrounding rock mass, which has a great impact on TBM construction. The southern section of the Yinhan Water Conveyance Tunnel is mainly composed of massive to intact granite, with a maximum overburden depth of nearly 2000 m. The paper discussed in detail the relationship between various...
