Abstract:Construction of subsea tunnels has grown significantly in recent decades around the world. Hence, ensuring the stability of these tunnels is very important. However, investigating the stability of subsea tunnels has not received enough attention. In the present study, the finite element limit analysis (FELA) was used to determine the internal pressure needed to maintain the stability of circular subsea tunnels embedded in a Tresca material by considering various values for the influential parameters. It was ob… Show more
