    Abstract
  • Aiming at nonlinear distribution of the overburden load of the buried utility tunnel, employing the vertical differential element method with the assumption on the friction force between the soil slices, the nonlinear analytical solution of the vertical soil pressure is deduced. The comparison between theoretical results and the field measurement of buried utility tunnel show that the non-linear analytical solutions are able to describe the nonlinear distribution characteristics of loads on trenched utility tunnel. By the load structure method, the utility tunnel with its top bearing linear and nonlinear overburden loads is computed. The results show that under the engineering condition proposed by the paper, the mode of linear distribution on structure top and nolinear distribution on side wall, the deformation value of structure top and bottom reduce 15% and 14%, respectively, nearly no effects on side wall deformation; the maximum moment of in the middle of utility tunnel top reduce 23%.
