During the tunnel construction in soft ground, the insufficient bearing capacity of tunnel foundation usually causes a series of settlement problems. Tunnel feet-lock pipe (TFP) has been widely used to take the vertical load acting at the foundation of a tunnel foot. However, the detailed bearing pe...
