Metro systems have been in use for over 150 years, and new metro lines are still being
constructed, either as new metro systems or as expansions of existing metro networks. In …

Tunnelling-induced ground deformations inevitably affect the safety of adjacent
infrastructures. Accurate prediction of tunnelling-induced deformations is of great importance …

Underground metro stations as essential large-scale infrastructures that ease the traffic
congestion on the overcrowded urban surface should be thoroughly designed, constructed …

This paper presents an assessment of the influence of the lagging distance between two
horizontal tunnel faces of the side-by-side twin tunnels on the responses of the adjacent …

The influence of metro shield construction in congested urban areas on nearby buildings is
of great concern in practice. In this study, 3D-FEM model, validated through comparison with …

Loess is a common soil layer of geological movement. It has macropores, vertical joints, and
tubular pores and also low strength and strong water sensitivity. When building a tunnel in a …

The special geological characteristics of loess, such as collapsibility and vertical joint
development, usually bring great difficulties to the construction of tunnel inverts. Effectively …

This paper conducts a theoretical analysis of ground settlements due to shield tunneling in
multi-layered soils which are usually encountered in urban areas. The proposed theoretical …

This paper presents a comprehensive study of field measurement of ground movements and
displacements of adjacent existing structures induced by large diameter slurry pressure …

A pile–beam–arch method is a shallow tunneling method suitable for constructing urban
subway stations with dense surface traffic. The main construction process can be simplified …
