the tunnel is zoned along its axial direction. With experts’ experiences to assigning the geological condition of surrounding rock and the scale of excavation
and taking the convergence measured in all zones as the impersonal standards in different times
the dynamic degree of reinforcement demand is calculated. Using the degrees of reinforcement demand
the first supports in different zones and in different times are assessed. For application to Qiuwoliang tunnel
the stabilities of supports in different zones and in different times are evaluated from the degrees of reinforcement demand
and the criterion for safe is provided in construction.
