Abstract
The tunnel stability concerned with safety is very important in coal production process. The tunnel supports made by the GI beam has been used in domestic coal mine tunnels, and the GI beam was connected with another by the fish plate. It is necessary to analysis for the bending problems of the fish plate due to the rock pressure in some domestic mine tunnels. Therefore, this study proposes the application possibility of the optimization algorithms for the problem searching a load condition that bring about bending problem in tunnels. Consequently, in order to investigate the load conditions, desirability function as one of the optimization methods to study the bending behavior of tunnel supports was applied.
