Research on the whole process and nonlinear law for coupling evolution of new and old overlapped tunnel systems is still in exploring stage. Based on the coupling mechanism analysis of the overlapped tunnel systems in undercrossing and after construction
the whole change processes of stress state and displacement state are quantitatively analyzed in its coupling. According to the nonlinear analysis of tunnel stability
the nonlinear law for coupling evolution is studied from viscoelasto-plasticity
dynamics and energy dissipation. The coupling standard and evolution function are established. On this basis
the general characteristics of coupling evolution are systematically summarized. The expansibility in space and furtherance in time of the coupling mechanism are also pointed out. Such kind of study is able to provide valuable theoretical guidance for stability quantitative analysis and control of overlapped tunnels.
