Surface settlement (SS) resulting from tunnel excavation operations is a critical concern in
tunnel engineering due to its potential impact on adjacent structures. This review …

Tunneling in soft clay requires accurate estimation of the inner support pressure to prevent
undesired ground settlement and maintain the overall soil stability. Previous researchers …

Granular materials used in engineering structures tend to experience arching under different
geotechnical factors. Arching is a factor of load transfer from the destroyed zone to stable …

Twin curved tunnels are often encountered in shield tunnelling, where significant
complexities in densely exploited underground space are observed. In this study, the ground …

The soil mass above the tunnel generally yields due to the tunnel volume loss. Depending
on the amount of the volume loss, soil unit weight, overburden height and internal friction …

Obtaining an accurate estimation of surface settlement during tunnel excavation is
challenging due to the many factors that influence settlement. This study developed a …

Predicting the maximum ground subsidence (Smax) in the construction of soil pressure
balanced shield tunnel, particularly on soft foundation soils, is essential for safe operation …

Excessive surface settlement poses significant challenges to shield tunnelling construction,
resulting in damage to adjacent buildings, infrastructure, and underground pipelines. This …

The stability of rock pillar is crucial for ensuring the construction safety of twin tunnels with
