The Comparative Study on Analytical Solutions and Numerical Solutions of Displacement in Transversely Isotropic Rock Mass.

This paper attempts to verify the correctness of the analytical displacement solution in transversely isotropic rock mass, and to determine the scope of its application. The analytical displacement solution of a circular tunnel in transversely isotropic rock mass was derived firstly. The analytical solution was compared with the numerical solution, which was carried out by FLAC3D software. The results show that the expression of the analytical displacement solution is correct, and the allowable engineering range is that the dip angle is less than 15 degrees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
