SUMMARY
An analytical solution is presented
for
the time-dependent stresses and displacements in plane strain
around a circular hole when it
is
loaded by an axisymmetric internal and far-field pressure. The material
is assumed to be elasto-viscoplastic with dilatant plastic deformations according to a non-associated flow
rule. Strain softening is considered by a modified St. Venant slider which is characterized by Mohr-
Coulomb yield conditions
for
both the peak and the residual strengths.
INTRODUCTION
Time-dependent deformations of the rock mass around a tunnel are brought about by the
excavation progress and by time-dependent mechanical properties
of
the rock. In this article,
only the influence
of
time-dependent material properties is considered, i.e. the problem will
be treated as two dimensional. A simple model for the rock, which takes into account time
dependency, could be a visco-elastic model. However, such a model should be applied to
competent rocks only
in
which no serious problems arise (Salamonz5).When serious problems
arise, the behaviour
of
the rock should be approximated by a non-linear model. This is done
in the present work by means of an elasto-viscoplastic model. Since for deeply located tunnels
the initial state of stress may be
in
a first approximation, idealized as hydrostatic and due to
the assumed isotropic medium, the problem is treated as axisymmetric in geometry, load and
material, thus enabling an analytical solution. In tunnelling practice, parametric studies often
have to
be
carried out. Therefore, it is especially advantageous to have such an analytical
solution.
Proposals for the analytical treatment of the axisymmetric plane strain problem of a circular
hole in an infinite medium as well as the associated problem
of
a thick-walled cylinder subjected
to
both axisymmetric internal and external pressures have appeared
in
the literature over many
decades. Early investigations concentrated on the calculation of the state of stress without
consideration of defomational and time effects. Thus St. Venantz4 had already obtained a
solution for the
state
of
stress
in
a
fully plastic, thick-walled cylinder. Terzaghi2' described,
qualitatively, in a very apt manner how, near the excavation for a tunnel, stresses exceed the
rock strength, causing the surrounding rock, which is still in an el'astic state, to carry a part of
the load. However, Hartmann was the first to succeed in calculating the stresses in an
elasto-plastic material assuming a cohesionless soil with friction (see Nadai ). W e ~ t e r ga a r d ~~
determined the state
of
stress with consideration of cohesion. The significanceof these solutions,

in relation to their useful application to tunnelling problems, has been discussed by Fenner
and by Kastner. Proposed models to extend these time-independent solutions,
so
as to be
able to consider the
deformational state,
may be found in the work of Nadai who assumed
the so-called plastic zone to be fully incompressible. With the assumption
of
purely deviatoric
plastic strains, Hill
et aLI3
solved the problem by also considering elastic strains in the plastic
zone using the yield conditions of Tresca and von Mises. Also assuming deviatoric plastic
deformations but applying the yield condition of Mohr-Coulomb, Deist discussed stability
criteria for a gradual onset of strain softening after reaching failure, which continues until the
strength is reduced to zero. Hendron and Aiyer extended this solution in two ways: first,
plastic volumetric strains were considered to be governed by the normality rule and, secondly,
a sudden loss of strength was assumed on reaching the yield stress. The strength drops to a
residual value, depending upon the hydrostatic stress component, by introducing a residual
cohesion
cR.
Egger4 developed an analytical solution for similar rock conditions by considering
progressive strain softening. Both UlgudurZ8 and PanetZ3 obtained closed-form analytical
solutions for this problem, whereby the first author assumed complete strain-softening
analogous
to
Deist and the second author neglected elastic strains in the plastic zone.

Analytical solutions for the treatment of openings in media with
time-dependent properties
are comparatively few. SalustowiczZ6 alculated the state of stress in a rock mass for the von
Mises yield condition, without consideration
of
the deformations. The time-dependent material
model used is shown symbolically in Figure
1
with a combination of Hookean (spring),
Newtonian (dashpot) and St. Venant (slider) elements. Madejski solved the problem of a
thick-walled sphere with a similar material model (Figure l ) ,also by assuming von Mises yield
condition (deviatoric plastic deformations only). LoonenI6 applied the Mohr-Coulomb condi-
tion by assuming the plastic zone to be fully incompressible. Further material models used by
different authors to obtain analytical solutions are presented in Figure
1.
However, all these
solutions have in common that plastic f l ow is assumed to be at constant volume, mostly with
use of the von Mises yield condition. In this work, elasto-viscoplastic material behaviour based
on the model of Madejski (Figure
1)
is investigated. Dilatancy effects, as well as a sudden loss
of strength to a residual value, will be considered. For this purpose, two yield criteria-for
peak and residual strength-of the Mohr-Coulomb type are introduced together with a
non-associated flow rule. The load history is assumed
to
comprise an initial stress
pa
(com-
pression positive) before the hole is excavated. The stresses acting normal to the plane are
a%.Owing to the excavation, secondary stresses and the corresponding radial deformations
(positive in the direction of the opening) are developed.

ELASTO-PLASTIC MATERIAL
The solution for a time-independent elasto-plastic material behaviour (Figure
2)
will serve as
a boundary condition at time t -
00
for the time-dependent approach. The derivations for this
case follow basically the work of Florence and Schwer.6 As an extension to that paper, a
modified definition
of
the St. Venant element, including residual strength and a non-associated
flow
rule, is used. If a circular tunnel is excavated in an elasto-plastic rock which is subjected
at infinity to an axisymmetric pressure pa in the vicinity of the tunnel, plastic deformations
will develop. The corresponding area, the so-called plastic zone, extends from the boundary
of the hole of radius
Ri
o a radius pm. Outside the plastic zone, i.e. for r > pao,the material
remains elastic. Let the principal stresses in the plane of the tunnel be u: in the radial direction
and a in the tangential direction. Then, equilibrium requires that at an arbitrary distance r

governed mainly by the properties
of
the plastic St. Venant
element in Figure 2. This so-called modified St. Venant element (Fritz*) starts to deform when
its stress reaches, for the first time, the peak strength, defined by a yield condition
Fp.
The
initiated deformational process is then characterized by the residual strength, described by a
second condition F R . The modified St. Venant element can be interpreted as a mass on a
plane, whose sliding friction is smaller than the static one. In the present case, the conditions
for F P and
F R
are formulated analogous to the theory of Mohr-Coulomb.

involves a numerical evaluation (equation

With time, the dashpot relaxes in zones in which the yield condition of the modified St. Venant
element is fulfilled. Excluding a change in the statical system (e.g. the introduction of a lining
for t >0), the final state at t - 00 corresponds to the findingsof the foregoing section. It remains
to determine the time-dependent development. This is governed essentially by the actual stress
in the Newton dashpot, i.e. by the plastic strain velocities. To make an analytical treatment
possible, the plastic strain velocities are defined analogous to Hooke's law
(3)
(Madej~ki'~).

in the first case only deviatoric plastic deformations are accounted for, it does not represent
the general case. However, the assumption of vp =

would hinder an analytical treatment.
Therefore, v,, is assumed to be constant. Hereby the normality rule is no longer fulfilled exactly.
The error involved with this approach will be discussed when deriving the absolute value of

For the special case of deviatoric plastic deformations only ( & G =

or mG
= 1,
respectively),
vp follows from
(32)
or directly from (21):
vp
=
1/2 (for &G = o ) .
For this case the normality rule is fulfilled all over the domain at any time.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
To demonstrate the applicability of the derived solutions an example from engineering
practice is discussed. For a deeply located tunnel the radial displacements have been measured
as a function of time before the placing of the lining. It was assumed that the statical and the
material model could be idealized according to Figure
7.
The elastic parameters of the Hooke
element were chosen to agree with the results of laboratory tests.

(13)
and different magnitudes of residual strengths lead
to
distinct peak strength param-
eters (Figure
8).
Which
flow
rule fits best to an actual problem cannot be determined from
the deformations at the excavation boundary alone. It would also be necessary, for example,
to have a knowledge
of
the deformations within the rock mass.
It remains to determine the viscosity coefficient
7
of the Newtonian element. It is chosen
to approximate the measured displacements as close as possible. In Figure
9,
the resulting
curve is shown for certain strength parameters.
Of particular interest also is the stress in a lining erected before a stable state of equilibrium
is reached. Depending on the depth of the lining and its time
of
installation, different stresses
are attained at time t - 00 (cf. Figure
10
for the case of an elastic lining and a rock with equal
peak and residual strengths). According to this diagram, the stresses are most unfavourable

for a lining with small thickness which is erected immediately at the face. The later a lining is
installed the smaller are its stresses. However, in tunnelling practice, the time span between
excavation and lining is often limited by the amount of admissible deformations or by the need
to finish the tunnel within certain time limits.
In the literature the argument can
be
found (e.g. Pacher ), that if too much time is allowed
before the installation
of
a lining, its stresses can increase or, in other words, that an optimum
time of installation exists, for which the smallest stresses develop. Without discussing the actual
field conditions, only the mathematical aspects shall
be
treated here. According to Figure
10
it is obvious that, for the material model of the rock 'Hooke-(St. Venant/Newton)' with ideal
plastic behaviour (i.e. equal peak and residual strength), the stresses in the lining decrease
with increasing time of installation. Disregarding the phenomenon of loosening pressure, an
optimum time
of
installation as defined above does not exist for this particular model. Therefore
Egger4 discussed a material with strain softening characteristics in the post-failure region.

Taking as limiting case of such a behaviour an instantaneous drop down to the residual strength,
it can be seen from equation (18) that for this case also a stable equilibrium is reached (cf.

seems always to be justified. Disregarding big deformations, stability will therefore, theoreti-
cally, always be guaranteed. It seems that for any material model consisting of an arbitrary
combination of Hooke, Newton and modified St. Venant elements, no optimum time of
installation ca n b e found.
