Urban sinkholes can cause subsidence damage to transportation infrastructures, building
demolitions and even casualties when they occur suddenly. It is hence essential to identify …

In recent years, the growing demand for underground infrastructure has driven expansion
into larger and deeper regions. The excavation of structures under mixed ground conditions …

This article presents the application of Risk Management Plan (RMP) to technical risks in
metro construction. The RMP defines a balanced risk allocation between client, designer …

In the Netherlands, the potential damage to the building stock due to subsidence
phenomena has recently received increased awareness. However, evaluating and …

Long-term performance of tunnels usually depends on their interaction with surrounding
environment induced by various internal and external, natural and anthropogenic factors …

This paper presents an approach to evaluate the response of low-and medium-rise frames
with continuous foundations, either with or without infills, to tunnelling employing an …

In order to solve connectivity problems in metropolitan areas, the development of
underground metro lines constitutes an unquestionable requirement. However, the …

Leakage into underground constructions can result in time-dependent settlements in soft
clays. In urban areas with spatial variability in geologic stratification, groundwater conditions …

The rationality and safety of Urban Underground Space (UUS) construction are critical
aspects of urban development. Given the lack of safety concern of the surrounding …

This study presents a novel framework in which numerical modelling contributes to the
performance of district-scale, subsidence-induced damage assessment in cities where …
