Abstract: Time-dependent deformations of rock are important factors for the design and construction of tunnels in the rock masses with time-dependent strength and deformation properties. Therefore, determination displacement and stable time of tunnel are an indispensable task in geotechnical engineering, especially during the design and construction of underground structures. However, in some types of rock masses, the tunnel displacement may increase for months or years after the excavation owing to the rheological behavior of the surrounding rock masses, which greatly influences the selection of the initial tunnel support system, the excavation layout, and the determination of its load-carrying capacity. In this paper, we present a method to quickly predict the final displacement and stable time of tunnels in time-dependent rock mass using the improved nonequidistant grey Verhulst model (INGVM) with Fourier series, which is used to reduce the periodic residual error. The proposed method is validated fairly via a test for a newly excavated roadway of −600 m level in a coal mine, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. These results are useful references for similar projects in the future.
