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 …

To reduce tunnelling induced damage of buildings, a 'protective wall'is sometimes
constructed between the location of the new tunnel and existing foundations. One of the key …

This paper proposes an elastic solution for evaluating tunneling-induced vertical ground
displacements due to the restraint of embedded isolation piles. Based on the modified …

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 …

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 …

This paper presents a simplified elastic continuum method for calculating the restraint effect
of isolation piles on tunneling-induced vertical ground displacement, which can consider not …

When tunnelling poses excessive risks for buildings and buried foundations, a pile row
barrier may shield the existing structure from ground movements. This paper presents a …

This paper investigates the use of a protective pile row barrier to mitigate the risk due to a
deep excavation in soft soils adjacent to an existing tunnel. The study includes two reduced …

Available evidence indicates that the focal depth of displacement vectors along the ground
surface decreases with the transverse distance from the tunnel centre-line. Based on field …

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 …
