An experimental study was conducted to determine the effects of tunnel construction on
ground movements in sand. In this regard, a small-scale three-dimensional model test was …

Tunnel construction in urban areas causes ground displacement which may distort and
damage overlying buildings and municipal utilities. It is therefore extremely important to …

Modern tunnelling methods aim to reduce ground movements arising from the construction
process. In clay strata the usual method of construction is by tunnel boring machine, which …

Yieldable frame support (YFS) is the most important primary component of a tunnel or
underground roadway propping in a consequent set of multistage support technology, which …

The impact of train-induced vibrations originating from underground tunnels has emerged as
a significant environmental issue within urban areas. A multitude of studies, encompassing …

Tunnels used for transportation in urban environments are often constructed in pairs.
Projects in which tunnels are constructed sequentially and within close proximity are …

This paper presents results of the influence of voids on the dynamic response of tunnel
linings and surrounding strata acquired in series of model tests. An experimental model of a …

The expansion of urban populations comes with an associated demand for increased public
transport. An often utilised solution is to construct a rapid transit system within tunnels …

Résumé This paper presents design of a self-stabilizing retaining diaphragm wall, using
conventional analytical calculation method based on subgrade reaction coefficient and by …

Tunneling in urban areas is growing in response to the increased needs for efficient
transportation. Many urban tunnels are constructed in soft ground at shallow depths. Metro …
