Techniques including pre‐grouting, long pipe roof, and parameter optimization were
employed to ensure the safety of loess metro tunnelling under an existing glass building …

This paper illustrates the surface settlement characteristics of subway station construction in
the shallow-buried soft ground using the pile-beam-arch (PBA) approach of the shallow …

Metro systems perform a significant function for millions of ridership worldwide as urban
passengers rely on a secure, reliable, and accessible underground transportation way for …

Performances of a braced cut-and-cover excavation system for mass rapid transit (MRT)
stations of the Downtown Line Stage 2 in Singapore are presented. The excavation was …

This paper presents a case study of a large cross-section high-speed railway tunnel overlaid
by a Q 2 soft-plastic loess layer. Due to poor engineering properties of the soft-plastic loess …

Shield excavation and tail grouting are the main causes of ground deformation in tunnel
construction, especially in the case of new tunnels undercrossing existing tunnels, which …

This paper presents a case study of a large cross-section high-speed railway tunnel
constructed in a binary stratum of Q2 loess—soft-plastic loess sandwiched between hard …

Four hybrid intelligent methods are developed to predict the maximum ground surface
settlement (S max) induced by shallow underground excavation method (SUEM). Particle …

Accurate prediction of surface settlement induced by tunnel excavation is significant for
preventing damage to existing structures under complex geological conditions. The Peck …

When tunnels are constructed in coastal cities, they will inevitably undercross a river.
Exploring the influence of rivers on tunnelling-induced deformation in costal soft soil is of …
