Influence of soil-rock composite stratum on mechanical response and failure modes of underground utility tunnel by Zhikai Chang, Jiaquan Wang, Zhinan Lin, Yi Tang

“…Additionally, the results reveal that the influence range of the tunnel on both sides is approximately 1.5 times its width and remains unaffected by the position of load application, the tunnel’s burial depth, or the width of the composite stratum. Moreover, when the width of the soil-rock composite stratum equals the width of the tunnel, the tunnel experiences a laterally flexural stress state. …”
