The super-large cross-section tunnel is prone to large deformation when passing through soft rock stratum. The reasonable selection of excavation method is of great significance for construction safety. In order to explore the applicability of the double-side nine-step excavation method to the construction of super-large cross-section tunnels, based on a 500 m2 super-large cross-section soft rock tunnel under construction in Chongqing, the mechanical properties of sandy mudstone were revealed by laboratory experiments. The deformation characteristics of surface and super-large cross-section tunnel structures were compared and analyzed by numerical simulation and field monitoring. The excavation sequence, temporary support measures and excavation step length were optimized. The results show that the stress-strain curves of sandy mudstone samples under different confining pressures and different unloading rates are similar, and the triaxial compressive strength and deformation characteristics of rock samples change significantly. With the excavation of the core rock mass of the upper step, the displacement of the super-large section tunnel is abruptly changed. When the temporary support measures are removed, the deformation of the super-large section tunnel is further aggravated. Different excavation steps cause successive disturbance of surrounding rock, resulting in different unloading rates of surrounding rock and affecting the deformation of surface and tunnel structure. The temporary transverse bracing effectively limits the convergence of the arch waist, and the convergence of the arch waist is reduced by about 10.0 mm under all the layout conditions. In addition, the shorter the length of the excavation step, the smaller the deformation of the surface and the super large section tunnel.
