Estimating surface settlement induced by excavation construction is an indispensable task in
tunneling, particularly for earth pressure balance (EPB) shield machines. In this study …

This article aims to provide a concise review on the state-of-the-art application of soft
computing techniques to predict various parameters in tunnelling and underground …

A major consideration in urban tunnel design is to estimate the ground movements and
surface settlements associated with the tunnelling operations. Excessive ground movements …

The shield tunnelling adjacent pile group was a common phenomenon in urban metro
construction, and additional internal force and displacement field of pile group was …

Tunnelling activity inevitably induces soil stress changes and ground deformation, which
may affect nearby existing pile foundations. Although a number of studies have been carried …

The current design practice for predicting the interaction mechanics for tunnel-soil-pile is
generally based on Winkler's foundation, which is subject to some important limitation, such …

One of key issues of tunneling in urban areas is to assess the likely impact on adjacent piled
buildings of tunnel construction. Simple and reliable predictions of tunneling-induced …

Due to population growth, people demand more and more transportation services, there can
be no doubt that the requirement for tunnels will also grow. Mechanized excavations using …

Tunnelling provides a robust solution to a variety of engineering challenges. It is a complex
process, which requires a firm understanding of the ground conditions as well as the …
