Shallow tunnels in urban areas are close to adjacent buildings and municipal pipelines.
Ground surface settlement (GSS) due to tunnelling can cause damage to those …

Surface settlement (SS) resulting from tunnel excavation operations is a critical concern in
tunnel engineering due to its potential impact on adjacent structures. This review …

During earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunnelling, a three‐dimensional stress
redistribution occurs, which leads to development of soil arching. In this paper, development …

Ground subsidence from tunnel excavation below existing buildings may result in building
distortion and develop structural damage. Previous case histories have shown that buildings …

There is an increased demand on the use of microtunnelling for the installation of new
buried pipelines. However, the effect of microtunnelling on the performance of pavements is …

As India's cities continue to increase in population, a large number of new metro lines are
being built to accommodate the mobility of residents. For construction of these metro lines …

Settlements induced by tunneling have been a major concern in urban cities. Prediction of
settlement is therefore an important task to be conducted prior to actual tunneling activities …

An extensive geotechnical assessment of a hospital building under-crossed by twin tunnels
is presented in this paper. The case study considered in the study is Phase III of Delhi Metro …

With the rapid economic development and urbanization in China, subway systems have
become the primary mode of urban rail transit. However, during subway operation, the …

Rapid growth in public transport demand can lead to excavation of new tunnels which may
pass through densely populated area. Stress relief and over-excavation during tunnelling …
