Note. FYY is the axial force of initial support of right tunnel tube after completion of right tunnel tube excavation. FYZ is the axial force of initial support of right tunnel tube after completion of left tunnel tube excavation. FZZ is the axial force of initial support of left tunnel tube after completion of left tunnel tube excavation.
