Excavation nearby an existing tunnel is frequently encountered in underground construction,
especially in congested urban areas. Essentially, the responses of the ground and existing …

With the expansion of underground space networks, new tunnels especially large-diameter
shields under-crossing existing tunnels have been commonly practiced. To obtain a better …

The influence of a deep excavation on existing shield tunnels nearby is a vital issue in
tunnelling engineering. Whereas, there lacks robust methods to predict excavation-induced …

This investigation aimed to develop a simplified semi-empirical method of assessing the
deformation of tunnels laterally adjacent to excavations. A finite element analysis using the …

Foundation pit excavation near existing tunnels has become increasingly common in cities.
Excavation-induced unloading can inevitably affect existing tunnels and threaten their …

This paper presents the construction of a large-scale basement excavation adjacent to the
two running metro tunnels in Nanjing silty clay. To investigate the influences of excavation …

This paper proposes an approach for evaluating the longitudinal deformation of shield
tunnels caused by potential disturbance after construction, advocating consideration of the …

In recent years, with the rapid increase of urban subway lines, crossing engineering has
become another complex problem of modern tunnel construction techniques, and especially …

A field case of a large-scale basement excavation constructed at a side of a metro station
was extensively reported and analysed. The 236.7-m-long, 145.8-m-wide, and 23.2–27.3-m …

The excavation by earth pressure balance (EPB) shield could cause stress fields varied,
which is harmful to adjacent existing structures. Thus the effect of excavation clearance of …
