To assess their quality, the collapse of a tunnel face was modelled with small-scale model tests at single gravity. The development of the failure mechanism and the support force at the face in dry sand were investigated. The observed displacement patterns show a negligible influence of overburden on the extent and evolution of the failure zone. The latter is significantly influenced, though, by the initial density of the sand: in dense sand a chimney-wedge-type collapse mechanism developed, which propagated towards the soil surface. Initially, loose sand did not show any discrete collapse mechanism. The necessary support force was neither influenced by the overburden nor the initial density. A comparison with quantitative predictions by several theoretical models showed that the measured necessary support pressure is overestimated by most of the models. Those by Vermeer/Ruse and L{\´e}ca/Dormieux showed the best agreement to the measurements.}, language = {en} } @article{FellinKingKirschetal.2010, author = {Fellin, Wolfgang and King, Julian and Kirsch, Ansgar and Oberguggenberger, Michael}, title = {Uncertainty modelling and sensitivity analysis of tunnel face stability}, series = {Structural safety}, volume = {32}, journal = {Structural safety}, number = {6}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0167-4730}, doi = {10.1016/j.strusafe.2010.06.001}, pages = {402 -- 410}, year = {2010}, abstract = {This paper proposes an approach to the choice and evaluation of engineering models with the aid of a typical application in geotechnics. An important issue in the construction of shallow tunnels, especially in weak ground conditions, is the tunnel face stability. Various theoretical and numerical models for predicting the necessary support pressure have been put forth in the literature. In this paper, we combine laboratory experiments performed at the University of Innsbruck with current methods of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for assessing adequacy, predictive power and robustness of the models. The major issues are the handling of the twofold uncertainty of test results and of model predictions as well as the decision about what are the influential input parameters.}, language = {en} }
