Abstract 'Clogging'is a common issue encountered during tunnelling in clayey soils which
can impede tunnel excavation, cause unplanned downtimes and lead to significant …

Pile's excessive internal forces and displacements induced by adjacent tunnelling can
cause serious serviceability problems for infrastructure aboveground, emphasizing the …

This study investigates the response of piled buildings to shield tunnelling in soft ground
based on both a case history and numerical modelling. The findings indicate that building …

The rapid expansion of the high-speed railway network in China leads to an increasing
number of connections between new constructed infrastructures and existing ones. The …

Any tunnel construction inevitably causes differential soil movements, resulting in additional
adverse effects on existing pipelines. Although there are many jointed pipelines in practice …

This study reports a series of centrifuge model tests, aiming at investigating the effects of
construction sequence of twin stacked tunnels advancement on an existing pile group under …

Underground transport infrastructure (tunnelling) plays a vital role to accommodate the rapid
increase in urban population. Those tunnels are unavoidably constructed adjacent to high …

Due to shortage of usable spaces in congested urban cities, deep basements for buildings
are frequently constructed above or at a side of existing tunnels. Although much attention …

The response of tunnel liner forces to the construction of very close-proximity tunnels is
rather complex and depends upon ground deformability, liner joint configuration …

Twin stacked tunnels become more and more common due to the limited surface area and
underground space. Most researchers have already paid attention separately to the …
