This paper investigates the role of basement depth on the response of framed buildings to
tunnel construction in sandy soil using finite element modelling. Six frames are considered …

This study aims to apply performance-based safety-assessment methods to the monitoring
and numerical simulation of excavation engineering projects in order to comprehensively …

Urban tunnelling projects pose significant risks to the integrity of nearby structures due to
ground movements induced by the excavation process. Embedded walls are commonly …

The development of underground spaces inevitably poses significant risks to nearby
infrastructure due to construction-induced ground displacements. While our understanding …

With increasing demand of underground transportation system, presence of twin stacked
tunnels near piled foundations is unavoidable, potentially leading to unexpected or adverse …

In urban area tunnelling projects, preventing the adverse effects of tunnel construction on
nearby structures often involves the use of embedded walls or piles. Designing the key …

While the effects of tunnel construction on vertical loaded piled foundations have been
extensively explored, the impact of side-by-side twin tunnel excavation on laterally loaded …

This technical note examines the shear distortion of plane strain framed structures resulting
from tunnelling-induced surface differential settlements. An equation for calculating the …

The construction of an embedded pile wall between the excavation and the foundation,
before tunnelling, is a possible mitigation measure against excessive movements. This …

Pile wall barriers are an effective mitigation measure to protect heritage or infrastructure from
tunnelling-induced ground movements. This paper presents the results of parametric finite …
