DOI 10.3103/s0025654409020101
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Using the solution of the problem on an elastic half-space subjected to a load uniformly propagating on the surface of a circular cylindrical cavity along its generator parallel to the free boundary of the half-space, we study the stress-strain state of the Earth surface over the tunnel under the action of normal axisymmetric periodic and aperiodic loads moving in the tunnel. Numerical results are analyzed on the basis of the tables and graphs presented in the paper.
