Model of the dynamics of a shallow tunnel under the action of a traffic load
A mathematical model has been developed for the effect of an arbitrary transport load on a shallow tunnel, supported by a multilayer elastic cylindrical shell located in an elastic half-space. The displacement of the layers of the shell and the elastic half-space is described by the Lame equations in a moving coordinate system. An analytical solution is obtained for the problem of determining the components of the stress-strain state of a rock mass and a shell at arbitrary loading speeds in the subsonic case, when the transport load moves at a speed lower than the propagation velocities of longitudinal and transverse waves in the rock and shell. The results of computer experiments are presented, which illustrate the stress-strain state of pipelines and the earth's surface under moving traffic loads.
