- Abstract
The Monte Carlo Finite Element Method is superior to other methods when it is used to analyze the reliability of the initial support of a highway tunnel. A correct reliability index could be collected when an adequate number of samples is selected because the failure probabilities of engineering structures are usually very small. The amount of sampling could sharply decrease by using the dual sampling method. During the comparison, the supporting role exaggeration of the line element, which is used in the FEM model to simulate the initial lining and rock bolt, was found by FEM simulation. The lining element reaction forces which were greater than usual were reported in FEM analysis results. Deeply Buried Tunnel Reliability Analysis was developed on the platform of ANSYS.
