Digital twin (DT) is an emerging technology that enables sophisticated interaction between
physical objects and their virtual replicas. Although DT has recently gained significant …

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 …

Ground settlements above a tunnel as a result of tunnel construction can be predicted with
the help of input variables that have direct physical significance. Several empirical and …

Numerous empirical and analytical relations exist between shield tunnel characteristics and
surface and subsurface deformation. Also, 2-D and 3-D numerical analyses have been …

A three‐dimensional finite element simulation model for shield‐driven tunnel excavation is
presented. The model takes into account all relevant components of the construction …

A three-dimensional finite element simulation model, which includes all relevant shield
tunnelling components and allows for the modelling of the step-by-step construction process …

The study investigates the disturbance to piles and pile groups caused by multiple nearby
drives of a large diameter slurry shield-driven tunnelling machine in Shanghai. The …

Increasing demand on infrastructures increases attention to shallow soft ground tunneling
methods in urbanized areas. Especially in metro tunnel excavations, due to their large …

It has been observed in many tunneling projects that surface settlement troughs caused by
twin tunnels have a variety of shapes unlike single tunnels, where symmetric surface …

This paper presents a limit equilibrium model for the shield face stability with special
emphasis on the effects of ground heterogeneity and seepage flow. The model considers a …
