In order to assess the stability of tunnelsmore precisely, the critical shear strain was proposed.

The maximum shear strain should be smaller than the critical shear strain.

If the maximum shear strain becomes larger than the critical shear strain, tunnel support measures must be installed so as to keep the maximum shear strain remain being less than the critical shear strain.

Numerical algorithm for conventional elasto-plastic analysis
Flow rule
Yielding function
Conventional elasto-plastic analysis
Numerical algorithm for conventional elasto-plastic analysis has been developed for forward analysis. So, it is too “stiff” to apply for back analysis.
In back analysis numerical algorithm should be “flexible” enough to obtain a good agreement between measurements and computations.

Back analysis in geotechnical engineering
In back analysis a constitutive equation should be simple enough to back-analyze its mechanical parameters uniquely from measured displacements.

• Anisotropic parameter m is a simple monotonic increase function of shear strain.
• Introducing the anisotropic parameter m, the following three different types of nonlinear stress-strain relationship of materials can be easily simulated, that is,
(1) Strain-hardening(2) Ideal plastic (3) Strain softening
• The parameter m can be determined by back analysis of field measurement as well as laboratory experiments.

Interpretation of measured displacements in slopes
Is it possible to estimate a sliding surface only by surface displacement measurements?
How can we assess the stability of slopes only by the surface displacement measurements?
“Back analysis” must be a powerful tool for interpreting the measurement data.

Design vs. Monitoring in Slope
• In the design of slopes, Young’s modulus is no need. Only strength parameters (C, φ)are used.
• However, in monitoring the stability of slopes displacement measurements such asextensometer, inclinometer, total station, GPS, etc. are commonly used.
Question is how to assess the measured displacements.
![Page 76: Field Measurements for Assessing the Stability of Tunnels ... · Field Measurements for Assessing the Stability of Tunnels and Slopes S. Sakurai. President, CERIF. ... shear strength:](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042215/5ebcdffbd6a79d35e078a21b/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
How can we determine strength parameters (c, φ) of soils/rocks
from measured surface displacements?
Answering this question, we proposed “Critical Shear Strain”.

Case study (Open pit coal mine)
In order to verify the applicability of the back analysis method for assessing the stability of slopes, the method was applied to an open pit coal mine, where displacements were measured by GPS until failure occurred.
The strength parameters such as cohesion and internal friction angle of the materials were determined from the measured displacements, and the factor of safety was calculated just before the failure occurred.

Conclusions for Case Study
• The strength parameters such as cohesion and internal friction angle of the materials were determined from the measured displacements, and the factor of safety was calculated by using them.
• The factor of safety becomes nearly 1.0 just before failure occurred. This means that the strength parameters determined by the back analysis are reasonable.
• In conclusion, the back analysis method can predict the time when the slope will fail only from the surface displacements measured by GPS.

Conclusions
1. Displacement measurements are easy, reliable and economical in both tunnel and slope engineering practice.
2. Back analysis is a powerful tool for assessing the measured displacements.
3. Anisotropic parameter m is well applicable in back analysis in observational methods for both tunnels and slopes.
4. Both critical strain and critical shear strain are a very useful in assessing the stability of tunnels and slopes.
