Earth Pressure on Tunnel Crown

Lars Andersen

    Research output: Book/ReportReportResearch

    Abstract

    Two different analyses have been carried out in order to find the vertical earth pressure, or overburden pressure, at the crown of a tunnel going through a dike. Firstly, a hand calculation is performed using a simple dispersion of the stresses over depth. Secondly, the finite‐element program Plaxis is utilized to check the result.
