This paper presents a case of closely spaced twin tunnels excavated beneath other closely
spaced existing twin tunnels in Beijing, China. The existing twin tunnels were previously …

As an increasing number of metro tunnels are being constructed in congested urban areas,
it is inevitable that new tunnels are being constructed in close proximity to existing tunnels …

This paper develops a novel hybrid information fusion approach that integrates cloud model
(CM), Dempster–Shafer (D–S) evidence theory and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique …

This paper proposes a novel hybrid approach that merges fuzzy matter element (FME),
Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique, and Dempster–Shafer (D–S) evidence theory to …

The influence of metro shield construction in congested urban areas on nearby buildings is
of great concern in practice. In this study, 3D-FEM model, validated through comparison with …

Abstract The so-called “Non-Deformable Support System” and “Yielding Support System”
have been used in tunnel ground support designs in squeezing rock conditions. According …

When an underwater tunnel is constructed using the drill-and-blast method, the rock mass
around the tunnel undergoes significant blasting damage. Quantifying the combined effect of …

This paper presents a comprehensive study of field measurement of ground movements and
displacements of adjacent existing structures induced by large diameter slurry pressure …

A novel methodology about structural health monitoring and assessment using the wavelet
packet energy spectrum is developed by analyzing the acceleration response signal, aiming …

The face stability of the NATM tunnels (the New Austrian Tunneling Method) in undrained
clays with a linearly increasing strength is numerically and analytically investigated by …
