The architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry is experiencing a
technological revolution driven by booming digitisation and automation. Advances in …

Small and medium-sized enterprises form a significant part of the economy of each country
with the greatest potential for growth and the impact on stabilizing the economy. Their …

A 3D numerical model for mechanised excavations is presented, which is capable of
simulating the overall process of excavation and construction of a tunnel when a TBM EPB …

The main purpose of this study was to provide a three-dimensional numerical model, which
would allow the tunnel lining behaviour and the displacement field surrounding the tunnel to …

Tunneling-induced ground movements are investigated in this paper using both
deterministic and probabilistic analyses. The deterministic model is based on three …

An adjacent construction with a pile foundation in dense urban areas can contribute to
possible damage to or an operational safety concern for existing tunnels. To establish a …

Tunnelling induced surface settlements can cause damage in buildings located in the
vicinity of the tunnel. Currently, surface settlements and associated building damage risks …

The prediction of tunnel geological conditions plays an important role in underground
engineering, such as the tunnel construction and tunnel dynamic design. However, due to …

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 construction of shallow tunnels induces a state of strain in the soil around the
excavation that could cause damaging differential displacements in existing structures near …
