The time dependency of ground deformation and stresses in tunneling is mainly due to the
rock rheology and tunnel construction process. This study provides an efficient analytical …

Underground transport infrastructure (tunnelling) plays a vital role to accommodate the rapid
increase in urban population. Those tunnels are unavoidably constructed adjacent to high …

Tunnel construction below or adjacent to piles will affect the performance and eventually the
stability of piles due to ground deformation resulting in the movement of piles and changes …

Earth pressure balance (EPB) TBMs are commonly used for soft ground tunneling in urban
areas. In metro tunnels' excavation, designing a comprehensive monitoring system to control …

The time dependency of tunnelling results mainly from the rheological properties of the rock
mass, the sequential excavation and the construction process of liner. This study focuses on …

The engineering technology of undercrossing an airport flight area is relatively mature;
however, the use of shield tunnels crossing the operating airport flight area in high liquidity …

Caverns are massive underground openings excavated for purposes like defense
installations and nuclear waste disposal which becomes challenging for weak strata …

Ground surface settlement under subway tunnel construction is one of the main sources of
