Understanding the pipe-soil interaction is critical for the design and safety assessment of
buried pipelines subjected to large differential ground motion. Laboratory model tests were …

In heavily urbanised areas, the construction of tunnels underneath existing ones is
unavoidable and much caution has to be exercised in both design and construction so as …

Longitudinal deformation of shield tunnels consists of a combination of both bending and
shearing, which is characterized by the opening of the joints and the dislocation between …

In urban areas, new tunnels are frequently constructed beneath existing tunnels. The
common prediction of the deformation of existing tunnels depends on an elastic continuous …

This paper proposes an inverse method for improving the prediction of tunnel displacements
during adjacent excavation. In this framework, staged data assimilation and parameter …

Any tunnel construction inevitably causes differential soil movements, resulting in additional
adverse effects on existing pipelines. Although there are many jointed pipelines in practice …

A new tunnel orthogonally undercrossing an existing tunnel at a close distance inevitably
affects the deformation of the existing tunnel. Analytical calculation methods of the …

Twin rectangular-shaped tunnels were constructed vertically beneath the adjacent pipelines
in water-rich gravel ground. An analysis was carried out using measured datum to reveal the …

Excavation-induced ground movements can have a detrimental influence on adjacent
structures and services. These complex soil–structure interactions are affected by a range of …

This paper presents an approach to evaluate the response of low-and medium-rise frames
with continuous foundations, either with or without infills, to tunnelling employing an …
