Urban underground structures eg construction of subway tunnels are a crucial part of
Geotechnical Engineering. Existing nearby structures have a significant impact on …

Rapidly expanding cities like Kandy in Sri Lanka frequently encounter obstacles linked to
traffic congestion, sustainability concerns, and constraints on infrastructure expansion when …

To ease the increasing traffic in the city, an underground Dhaka metro system is being
planned. Ground movement and surface settlement must get special consideration during …

Tunneling over a field leads to surface, subsurface settlement, and lateral deformation.
Tunnels built to nearby foundations of building, produces a ground loss, which affects the …

Tunnel excavation disturbs the initial stresses balance and causes stresses redistribution in
soil around it. It is significant to study the characteristic of displacements of soil surrounding …

Due to rapid increase of the population in the urban areas, it is being inevitable to introduce
metro rail network. These metro rail networks are constructed by tunneling in subsurface …

Shallow tunneling performed by a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) induces volume loss,
mainly due to the conical shape of the machine and the consolidation of the injected grout …

Advancing tunnel boring machine (TBM) during tunnel construction induces a surface
settlement, affecting adjacent buildings and facilities. A three-dimensional finite-element …

This paper reflects the role of different constitutive models on the deformations induced by
tunneling in the urban area. These constitutive models were applied in finite element …

One of the most widely risks in tunnelling in urban regions is the excavation under urbanized
constructions. The loads of these constructions are considered as surcharge loads applied …
