The face stability of the NATM tunnels (the New Austrian Tunneling Method) in undrained clays with a linearly increasing strength is numerically and analytically investigated by defining two types of the safety factors F in this paper. Based on the kinematic approach of the limit analysis, a continuous velocity field for an open-face tunnel is proposed. Moreover, the calculated solutions are compared with the results obtained from the numerical simulation and other existing literatures to validate its effectivity and superiority. The stability charts for different influence factors are also provided. Finally, an improved velocity field is presented, which provides a closer result to the real situation of the face collapse.
