The Quaternary soft deposits of Shanghai form a multi-aquifer–aquitard system (MAAS) with
aquitards of high compressibility and aquifers of high groundwater table. The metro tunnels …

Shield tunnels in soft deposits are often subjected to differential settlement and longitudinal
structural deformation during long-term operation. Since the shear stiffness in circumferential …

To predict the future behavior of land subsidence in Shanghai due to pum** of
groundwater, a numerical model is established. In the proposed model, groundwater flow in …

This paper presents a laboratory evaluation on the strength behavior of cement–clay
admixture improved by polypropylene fiber. Waste polymer textile bags are harmful to the …

This paper presents a generalized approach for predicting the diameter of jet grout columns
based on the theoretical framework of turbulent kinematic flow and soil erosion. The …

This paper provides a straightforward way to evaluate tunnel settlement caused by land
subsidence in the soft deposits of Shanghai. By analyzing field measurements of tunnel …

A large amount of field and experimental data has been devoted to rectangular excavations
thus far. In contrast, very few data were available for cylindrical excavations, especially those …

With the rapid development of urbanization in China, the number and size of underground
space development projects are increasing quickly. At the same time, more and more …
