Abstract: In order to choose rock cover of Xiamen subsea tunnel now, 3D elastoplastic constitutive relation and damage evolution equation for 4 profiles has been done along the longitudinal of the tunnel. The numerical results of stress distribution, displacements, plastic zones and damage zones of rock mass after excavation are got. By means of analysis of stress disturbed area, and comparing rock cover of weak regolith with stress disturbed area at axis and raising or decreasing, it is easy to determine minimal rock cover; similarly, it is satisfying to evaluate stability from the numerical results of stress distribution, displacements, plastic zones and damage zones of rock mass after excavation. Thus, it can be concluded that the tunnel is stable even the rock cover of the subsea tunnel decrease 4m compare to the original design elevation by organic integration of the two.

Key words: Xiamen’s subsea tunnel, damage evolution equation, stress disturbed area, stability
