The focus has been on the development of a predictive tool for assessing the probable damage to buildings
Reference: Proceedings of the International Conference on the response of buildings to excavation-induced ground movements, London, United Kingdom, 17 - 18 Jul 2001
This paper describes a three- dimensional fnite element analysis in which the tunnel, the soil and a building are all treated in a single analysis.
Reference: Geotechnical Engineering Vol 143, GE1 pp 17-29, 2000
Research on a 3-D numerical model of tunnelling is described. This includes a building and a simulation of tunnel construction processes. Interactions between the building and the ground are investigated. Settlement, and structural damage, is studied as the ...

Tunnel-induced settlements may be predicted empirically for greenfield sites, but surface structures modify these movements. Two-dimensional models, often used in practice, neglect the effect of transients as the tunnel is excavated, and do not allow realistic ...

An approximate calculation, based on bearing capacity theory, is presented for the ultimate capacity of an unreinforced or reinforced unpaved road, idealized as a granular fill over clay. The calculation is calibrated against rigorous numerical analyses to ...

Reference: Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Amsterdam, June 1999, 31-44.
A procedure for modelling incremental excavation using finite elements is discussed here in detail. A three dimensional finite element analysis of an unlined tunnel under a greenfield site using a simple constitutive model for the soil is used to illustrate ...

<p>An extensive programme of research has been carried out at Oxford University on finite element analysis of the interaction between masonry buildings and ground movements induced by tunnelling. The focus has been on the development of a predictive tool for ...
