Abstract: In order to reasonably calculate the surrounding rock pressure of an ultra-shallow-buried passageway with rectangular section during construction, an available finite element method is suggested firstly to analyze the failure mode of the surrounding rock of the primary support structure under the limit state of bearing capacity. Based on the failure mode, the limit equilibrium equation of each surrounding rock slider is established, and the ultimate equilibrium solutions of the vertical and lateral surrounding rock pressures of the super shallow buried primary support structure in silty clay soil layer in Qingdao area are obtained. Finally, the calculation value and field test of surrounding rock pressure are compared, demonstrating a maximum deviation amplitude is less than 9.0%, and the feasibility of limit equilibrium method is verified.

Key words: surrounding rock pressure, limit equilibrium method, underpass, ultra-shallow-buried, rectangular section
