In the past few decades, the number of tunnels constructed next to an existing tunnel has
been gradually increasing in order to accommodate infrastructure needs in congested urban …

Estimating surface settlement induced by excavation construction is an indispensable task in
tunneling, particularly for earth pressure balance (EPB) shield machines. In this study …

The accurate prediction of tunnelling induced ground movement is of practical and
theoretical significance. This paper proposes a mixed empirical-analytical method based on …

Spaceborne multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MT-InSAR) is a
monitoring technique capable of extracting line of sight (LOS) cumulative surface …

The collapse failure occurs occasionally during the construction process of a shallow tunnel
in gully terrain. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the collapse failure …

Tunnel construction is vital for the development of urban infrastructure systems throughout
the world. An understanding of tunnelling-induced displacements is needed to evaluate the …

Seismic faulting is extremely detrimental to buried pipelines owing to bending moments and
axial forces generated by the soil–pipe interaction. Pipe responses to ground rupture are …

Tunnel driving inevitably induces changes in stress and deformation in the ground, which
could cause ultimate and serviceability problems to an adjacent tunnel. The effects of …

Tunnelling provides a robust solution to a variety of engineering challenges. It is a complex
process, which requires a firm understanding of the ground conditions as well as the …

The increasing demand for underground infrastructure should be supported by innovation in
monitoring and damage assessment solutions to minimise damage to surface structures …
