The rapid expansion of the high-speed railway network in China leads to an increasing
number of connections between new constructed infrastructures and existing ones. The …

The response of pile groups and piled structures to vertical and tunnelling-induced loads is
studied. A two-stage model is adopted that can efficiently consider external actions …

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 …

At present, shield tunneling often needs to pass through a large number of bridge pile
foundations. However, there are few studies on the influence of shield tunneling on adjacent …

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 …

Urban roadbed foundations reinforced by piles are inevitably influenced by the construction
of tunnels underneath. Investigating the soil disturbance effects of shield tunnelling on pile …

Tunnel excavation in urban areas causes ground movements that could damage existing
nearby piled structures. In practice, to protect structures from tunnelling-induced damage, a …

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 …

In this study, the structural response of piles during shield machine cutting is analyzed using
py curves based on the finite element method (FEM). In the FEM program, the tangent …

Tunnel excavation in urban areas causes ground movements that could damage existing
nearby piled structures. Geotechnical centrifuge modelling has been widely used as a tool to …
