Research conclusions：(1)The research results and methods of rock damage strength theory may guide the tunnel design and construction, and can be applied in the design concept at macro-level. (2) Improvement of the stress state is helpful for enhancing the bearing capacity of surrounding rock. (3)The bearing capacity of surrounding rock relates to the time function and can be controlled by taking engineering measures. (4)In shallow stratum, the tunnel design load depends on the stress state and damage range of the rock around the tunnel. (5)More attention should be paid to the negative effect of taking the engineering measure on the bearing capacity of surrounding rock while the positive effect is given full play. (6)It is necessary to do the researches on the energy dissipation and release system and the technology for the survey in advance.
