In this study, two factors are simultaneously considered for assessing tunnel face stability. The first is the effective stress acting on the tunnel face calculated by upper bound solution, and the other is the seepage force calculated by numerical analysis under the condition of steady-state groundwater flow. The seepage forces calculated by numerical analysis are compared with the results of a model test. The upper bound solution taking into consideration the seepage force acting on the tunnel face, shows that the minimum support pressure for the face stability is equal to the sum of the effective support pressure that is obtained from the upper bound solution based on effective stress and the seepage pressure acting on the tunnel face. It was found that the average seepage pressure acting on the tunnel face is proportional to the hydrostatic pressure at the same elevation, and the magnitude is about 22% of the hydrostatic pressure for the drainage type tunnel and about 28% for the waterproof type tunnel. The seepage forces obtained from the results of a model test showed similar trends as those calculated by numerical analysis.Key words: face stability, upper bound solution, seepage force, model test.
