Assessing rock tunnel face stability when constructing mountain tunnels is of utmost importance because it is influenced by various factors, including the tunnel diameter, depth, excavation dimension, geological strength index, uniaxial compressive strength, and Hoek-Brown constant. This study established a tunnel face stability database based on analytical solutions that considered the correlation between the influencing parameters. Finally, a safety factor prediction equation was constructed by combining response surface methodology and the multivariate adaptive regression spline algorithm. The results of this study find applications at construction sites and provide a reference for the rapid evaluation of rock tunnel faces during construction.
