| Shrnutí: | •An exact matrix-form solution is proposed for analyzing multiple non-circular tunnels in layered media.•Generalized complex variable theory, conformal mapping and fast Fourier transform are used in derivation.•The proposed solution avoids complicated coefficient determinations and iterative algorithm.•Effects of elastic properties, tunnels' position, equivalent layer and the layer thickness surrounding tunnels are discussed.
This paper presents a matrix-form complex variable method that can predict the stress and displacement field around multiple tunnels in layered media. The proposed matrix-form method avoids complicated coefficient determinations and iterative algorithm, which effectively improves the computation efficiency. Firstly, the expressions for the stress and displacement field are given under the generalized complex variable theory. The conformal mapping technique and fast Fourier transform algorithm are used to formulate the matrix-form expressions of boundary conditions. Considering the boundary conditions of the tunnels and soil interfaces, the global matrix solution for multiple tunnels in layered media are obtained by assembling the matrix solutions of all single layers. The present theory is verified by comparison with the existing literature, finite element analysis and field data in engineering practices, and several numerical examples are given to reveal the effects of elastic properties, tunnels' position, equivalent layer and the layer thickness surrounding tunnels. |
