The paper focusses on the use of physical modelling in ground movements (induced by
underground cavity collapse or mining/tunnelling) and associated soil-structure interaction …

This paper presents a novel hybrid model designed for predicting mountain tunnel
deformation during construction, incorporating both temporal and static factors. Utilizing a …

The development of urban mobility implies the construction of tunnels, often interacting with
valuable masonry structures. It is thus necessary to develop rational and reliable procedures …

The construction of tunnels in urban areas inevitably entails the interaction with existing
structures. While the effect of tunnel excavation on masonry structures has been thoroughly …

The remote sensing technique known as Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
Interferometry (DInSAR) allows the detection and monitoring of ground settlements, by …

Probabilistic assessment methods can be used to estimate engineering demand parameters
under significant uncertainty, such as in the assessment of building damage due to …

This paper presents a case study of investigating damages in existing building adjacent to
foundation pit in construction, in which the settlement influence of adjacent building induced …

Tunnelling in urban areas requires a careful estimation of the consequence of soil
settlements on existing buildings. In this paper the interaction between the excavation of a …

This paper presents a semi-coupled approach for the modelling of the response of masonry
buildings subjected to tunnelling-induced settlements. The 2D finite element model includes …

The likely severity and extent of cracking damage in existing masonry buildings caused by
shallow tunnelling in urban areas is typically assessed in practice using a phased sequence …
