摘要:With the rapid development of infrastructure construction, the edge shape analysis of underground chamber excavation in water conservancy and hydropower projects has received more and more attention. This paper takes an underground chamber of a hydropower project as the research object and uses an ideal elastoplastic stress-strain softening model to study the relationship between deformation, stress, plastic zone and strength parameters. The results show that the value of each shear strength parameter has a significant effect on the distance of the plastic zone, and the calculation result may provide a basis for the design.
