Summary

A Simple Method for Calculating Displacements and Stresses Around Tunnel Openings — An Application for the Microcomputer

The paper describes a program, written for an “Apple-II/Plus” Microcomputer, and designed to calculate the perimetral elastic deformations and tangential stresses around underground openings of non-circular section. The mathematical basis used in this program first appeared in a paper by Dr. E. Wisser, published in Rock Mechanics. The Appendix gives the “list” of the program and all instructions which a user, familiar with computers, may require.
