Using monitoring data to analyze and evaluate internal force of supporting structure is an important problem in dynamic design and construction of tunnel
which has great significance for construction safety. According to the characteristics of shotcrete layer in initial support and the theory of circular beam on elastic foundation
based on touch stresses between shotcrete layer and surrounding rock
the analytical solution of internal force is deduced. The stress concentration position is obtained
which is convenient to make relative safety countermeasures in the following construction. The analysis of tunnel project excavated by bench method shows that the analytical expression of solving internal force based on touch stresses is a new and effective way
so as to provide a more reliable basis for the safety assessment of tunnel structures.
