Abstract

In this paper, both the full space and the half space 2.5 dimensional finite element-boundary element model is established for modeling the coupled tunnel and soil. The tunnel wall is modeled by using finite element method and the soil is modeled by using boundary element method. We also calculate the response of the tunnel model by using the exact solution. In order to illustrate the rationality of the model, we compared that to the result which we detected at the free boundary with a single point harmonic load. The response of tunnel and soil in the full space and the half space are analyzed.
