Earthquakes can have a very adverse effect on tunnel excavation. The Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion is modified by introducing tensile strength cut-off, which allows nonlinear strength reduction of soil under tensile conditions, and kinematic analysis of tunnel face subjected to the earthquake is carried out. The pseudo-dynamic method is adopted to simulate the earthquake with the acceleration varying with time and space, improving the accuracy of the simulation. The external power and internal energy dissipation rate are equal to obtain the expression of tunnel face support pressure under the limit analysis framework. And the most unfavorable tunnel face support pressure is optimized by using the method of exhaustion. Compared with other research results, the validity of this method is proved. The influence of soil parameters and pseudo-dynamic parameters on the critical support pressure is revealed by further parameter analysis. Finally, this study provides an effective reference for seismic design of tunnel engineering construction.
