This paper proposed a calculation method for bolts reinforcement of tunnel face under the seepage condition. The existence of seepage in tunnel engineering may greatly reduce the stability of tunnel face, and bolts reinforcement technology is widely used in traditional tunnel engineering. In this paper, a 3D rotational failure mechanism is proposed by the kinematics method combined with the discretization technique. The pore water pressure was added in the energy calculation based on the empirical distribution formula of water head. The interaction between soil and bolts is simulated by using a finite thickness interaction region. The method was compared with the published works in order to verify the effectiveness. The influence of the bolt length, the bolt strength, the hydraulic head size, the face height and the soil parameters are given in the form of some graph.
