The deviation from the design shape of an underground structure cross-section and its influence on the structure stress state are under consideration. External loads, corrosion and peculiarities of construction techniques, are assumed as the most probable causes of the deviation. The influence of shape changing is estimated by the analytical design method for multilayer underground structures with layers of variable thickness. The method is based on a rigorous analytical solution of the corresponding plane problem...

The problem of stress state evaluation is really actual for the underground structures been exploited for a long time. Stress and deformation monitoring give opportunity for hazard prevention and planning operation mode of the underground facility. One of the most common methods of deformation control is convergence measurement, but transformation of measured data into stress state of underground structures is quite difficult. A technique for stress state evaluation of underground structures on the base of the ana...
