Tunnelling-induced settlement is usually estimated based on field data. However, the data
are representative of the local study area only depending on such parameters as geology …

Ground surface settlement trough associated to tunneling is characterized by two important
parameters: the maximum surface settlement at the point above the tunnel centerline (Smax) …

Recent proliferation of tunnels in urban congested areas necessitates the continual updating
of subsidence prediction techniques using settlement records of tunnel monitoring …

Prediction of tunneling-induced ground settlements is an essential task, particularly for
tunneling in urban settings. Ground settlements should be limited within a tolerable …

Ground surface settlement due to tunnel excavation varies in magnitude and trend
depending on several factors such as tunnel geometry, ground conditions, etc. Although …

The present study aims to apply intelligent method to predict settlement of tunnels. This
method can be used for settlement prediction of tunnel future levels. Many parameters affect …

In urban areas, it is essential to protect the existing adjacent structures and underground
facilities from the damage due to tunneling. In order to minimize the risk, a tunnel engineer …

Rapid population growth and increasing congestion worldwide are placing greater demands
on existing infrastructure. A solution to this problem is the use of tunnels to construct …

This paper intends to predict settlement above tunnels with artificial neural networks. The
settlement is taken as a function of diameter, depth, and volume of soil loss, apart from soil …

This paper presents a method to predict ground movement around tunnels with artificial
neural networks. Surface settlement above a tunnel and horizontal ground movement due to …
