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 …

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

Traffic vibration of roads, trains and metro system is increasingly influencing normal life and
facility operation in large cities, as population grows and infrastructures get more congested …

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 …

Shield tunneling adjacent to existing piles is common occurrence in subway construction.
This study proposes a novel tunnel model capable of simultaneously simulating ground loss …

Railway track settlements are extremely important for the safe operation of trains. This study
utilizes an in situ test and a three-dimensional finite element method (3D FEM) to investigate …

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 …

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 …
