    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.

    Material laws represented by mechanical mode ls used by variou s authors

    to

    obtain analytical so lutions

    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

    from the tunnel axis

    The behaviour in the plastic zone

    is

    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.

    Owing to the special formulation of the flow rule

    or the potential surface FG (13),

    At this stage, the assumption (6) could be discussed after which

    a:

    should be intermediate

    principal stress, thus excluding stress states at edges of the yield surface in principal stress

    space. According to (17),

    Au:

    great uncertainties in the determination of

    v,

    even in the laboratory, from the practical point

    of view such a discussion (cf. Florence and Schwer6) is not relevant and is therefore omitted.

    ELASTO-VISCOPLASTICMATERIAL

    For an elasto-viscoplastic medium (Figure 4), an analytical solution is presented which partly

    involves a numerical evaluation (equation

    (31)).

    Such a material exhibits, at the instant of an

    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'~).

    or should depend on time and location

    Because

    in the first case only deviatoric plastic deformations are accounted for, it does not represent

    the general case. However, the assumption of vp =

    v p ( t , r )

    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

    vp

    f = O :

    f6=

    f6df=O

    Because of its transcende ntal character, equation (31) for f6(f) has to be solved numerically,

    e.g. by a sim ple comp uter prog ram. For th e spec ial case of deviatoric plastic strains only

    ( d G

    =

    in (13), i.e.

    up

    = 1/2), a dimensionless representation can be found, which, within practical

    accuracy requirements, is independent of the material properties E , .rl and the initial stress pa.

    In the uppe r part of Figure

    5

    the related function f6 is shown , an d in the lower pa rt its integral,

    both versus a related time f *

    =

    ( E / v ) f . or an arbitrary time and a desired ratio p i / p a , 6 and

    f6

    can be read and, by means of equations

    (27)

    nd (30), the stresses and displacements can

    be calculated. Figure 5 applies for the indicated values of cohesion and angle of friction.

    However, the influence

    of

    the peak value of the cohesion

    c p

    on

    f6

    is relatively small. Thus,

    for pi

    =

    0, the function f6 is indepen dent of

    cp ;

    for p i / p a

    =

    5 per cent, a reduction

    o t

    the cohesion

    from th e value indicated in Figure 5 to

    c p=

    0 causes

    f6

    at time

    f * =

    4000 to increase by about

    20 per cent. H owever, the influence of th e angle of friction is greater. Figure

    It should be noticed that assumption (21) for the plastic strain velocities implies volumetric

    strains depending o n up' Although up is properly variable with time and rad ius, it was assumed

    to be constant.

    To

    minimize the deviation from norm ality rule, vp is determined in such a way

    that the displacements at the excavation boundary coincide for t + 00 with the time-independent

    P. FRITZ

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

    0

    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.

    From the measured final deformations at the excavation boundary it was possible to back-

    calculate pairs

    of

    values of cohesion and friction angles from equation

    (18).

    Different flow

    rules

    (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.

    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.
