چکیده
Stability analysis of the underground karsts around excavated and supported tunnels is one of the most important tasks in terms of safety evaluation of tunnels and underground excavations. In this paper, the stability and the stabilization method of a natural hole which existed before excavation above a transportation tunnel were investigated. The hole was modeled in form of continuous and discontinuous media. Several realizations with different crack patterns were generated in order to eliminate random effect. The stability was analyzed numerically. The results show that the equivalent continuum method induces overestimation upon strength parameters and consequently results in higher uncertainty compared to the discontinuum method which is a better representation of the problem. The generated models in discontinuous medium were highly unstable and showed prominent signs of collapse. As per the agreement between the discontinuous models with the real problem’s conditions, this instability and collapse of rock blocks may disturb the tunnel lining and yield to catastrophes. The results of using concrete foam as the filling and the whole support confirm the proper applicability of this approach alongside its practicability under the conditions specific to this project.کلیدواژه ها
