Excavation nearby an existing tunnel is frequently encountered in underground construction,
especially in congested urban areas. Essentially, the responses of the ground and existing …

The inevitable influence of large excavation in soft soils on nearby tunnels is of great
concern in practice. In this paper, the influence of a nearby large excavation on existing …

With the accelerated urbanization and population growth in the Yangtze River Delta of
China, numerous metro tunnels are in operation or under construction, and adjacent deep …

Due to the repaid development of underground space in big cities, increasing excavation
pits is being constructed or planned in a close proximity to existing metro tunnels in dense …

Adjacent excavations may have adverse impacts on the existing tunnels. Due to the
increasing demand for building excavations in close proximity to existing metro tunnels …

The influence of a deep excavation on existing shield tunnels nearby is a vital issue in
tunnelling engineering. Whereas, there lacks robust methods to predict excavation-induced …

The objective of this paper is to analyze the observed performance of a deep excavation
facing severe restrictions from underground facilities or structures in Suzhou, China. The first …

This investigation aimed to develop a simplified semi-empirical method of assessing the
deformation of tunnels laterally adjacent to excavations. A finite element analysis using the …

With fast growing demand for modern transportation, more shallow tunnels are being
constructed and planned. Understanding the deformation and failure mechanism of a …

Behaviour of existing tunnel gets hugely affected by nearby construction activities, especially
from deep excavation, which causes changes in the ground stresses. Such change in stress …
