Accurately predicting tunnelling-induced ground deformation (TIGD) is crucial for the safety
of tunnel construction and protection of surrounding environment. Existing analytical studies …

Maintaining the stability of the tunnel face during the construction of the submarine shield
tunnel is the prerequisite for safe construction. A series of face instability model tests under …

To solve the problem of inaccurate and unreasonable health evaluation of shield tunnel
lining, a novel health evaluation model of shield tunnel lining based on the combination …

This paper presents an isolation pile–soil lateral interaction model that considers not only
the relative linear sliding at the pile-soil interface but also the pile group–soil interaction. The …

With the development of railway transit networks, the number of twin shield tunnelling
undercrossing intercity high-speed railway (HSR) is increasing. However, the understanding …

The complex geological conditions and operational performance of reconditioning modified
earth pressure balance shield (M-EPBS) machines can critically influence tunnel excavation …

In this study, analytical solutions of vertical deformation of ground surface and horizontal
displacement of strata are derived combining the Mindlin solution and the mirror method due …

The excavation of Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) shield can be divided into two distinct
stages, ie advancing and lining installation. The frictional force applied on surrounding soils …

When tunnelling in urban environment, tunnels are unavoidably excavated in close
proximity of neighbouring buildings. It is inevitable that tunnels will interact with building …
