In the shallow tunnel, the surrounding ground could be loosened and deformed,which could be the cause of stress change in the ground. Terzaghi has clarified thedevelopment of a ground arching induced by the deformation of a tunnel crown in thetrap door tests. However, he considered only the case in which that the tunnel crowndeformed uniformly. He did not consider the effect of deformation shapes. Therefore,the relation between the shape of the ground relaxation above the tunnel crown and thedeformation shape of the tunnel crown is not clear yet. In this study, model tests wereperformed for the three types of the tunnel crown, such as uniform, concave andconvex shapes. As results, it was found that the vertical load would be transferred invarious types depending on the deformation shapes of the tunnel crown.
