PREDICTING AND CONTROLLING GROUND MOVEMENTS AROUND DEEP EXCAVATIONS (2010)
<p>Deep excavations frequently cause problems, and sometimes trigger catastrophic collapses, especially in soft clay. In principle, these problems are well understood, but designers may fall between the two stools of naive empiricism and overelaborate finite ...

AN INNOVATIVE METHOD FOR ASSESSING TUNNELLING-INDUCED RISKS TO ADJACENT STRUCTURES (2009)
<p>This monograph is intended to be used as a &ldquo;PB Guideline&rdquo; for assessing tunnelling-induced risks to adjacent structures in urban environments. It is expected that it will also promote awareness of such risks among PB engineers<br />who are involved ...

SHOTCRETE EXCAVATIONS FOR THE MUNICH SUBWAY – COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT METHODS OF FACE SUPPORT IN SETTLEMENT SENSITIVE AREAS (2009)
<p>For the construction of shallow tunnels in settlement-sensitive urban areas it is very important to reduce the settlements and to increase the stability of the tunnel face during the excavation. In the case of shotcrete excavation, the use of different ...

A PARAMETRIC STUDY OF THE TUNNELING-INDUCED SURFACE SETTLEMENTS UNDER 3D CONDITIONS (2006)
Complicated 3-Dimensional (3D) parametric analyses were carried out (by using Finite-Difference models of more than 80000 elements) in order to investigate the tunneling excavation and temporary supportinduced surface settlements in the case of a shallow (depth ...

ANALYSIS OF TUNNEL-INDUCED SETTLEMENT DAMAGE TO SURFACE STRUCTURES (1999)
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 ...
