Abstract:A mountain underground tunnel has the difficulties of shallow burial, eccentric pressure, long span and double arch. In order to explore the internal force of the initial support structure and the stability change of the mountain slope during the tunnel construction, the project uses PLAXIS 2D geotechnical finite element software to numerically simulate the 15 main excavation and support processes during the construction process. The internal force and deformation law of lining structure in each construction step is revealed by stratum load method, and the safety factor is calculated based on strength reduction method to evaluate the stability of mountain slope. According to the numerical simulation results, some guiding opinions on the structural design of the tunnel are put forward.
