CALCULATION OF SURFACE SETTLEMENTS CAUSED BY EPBM TUNNELING USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK, SVM, AND GAUSSIAN PROCESSES (2013)
<p>Increasing demand on infrastructures increases attention to shallow soft ground tunneling methods in urbanized areas. Especially in metro tunnel excavations, due to their large diameters, it is important to control the surface settlements observed before ...

A CASE RECORD OF BORED TUNNELS IN SAND BASED ON THE KAOHSIUNG MASS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM PROJECT (2011)
<p>A case study associated with shield-machine bored tunnels in sand is presented in this paper. Observations show that driving the first bored tunnel resulted in up to 10 mm of surface settlement, and the ground between two tunnels seems to have been affected ...

EVALUATING GROUND SETTLEMENT ABOVE A MINED AREA (2010)
Many states allow construction of landfills over previously mined areas. However, mitigation of the underground mines by filling or removal is often required prior to landfill construction. A settlement analysis for the proposed vertical expansion of a residual ...

OBSERVED BEHAVIOURS OF DEEP EXCAVATIONS IN SAND (2009)
<p>In this paper, structural and ground behaviours of several excavations in Kaohsiung, Taiwan were described and examined. Based on behaviours observed from these excavations, it was found that the maximum lateral wall displacement (&delta;hmax) in relation ...

PERFORMANCE OF A DEEP EXCAVATION IN SOFT CLAY (2009)
<p>The observed response of diaphragm wall and the surface settlement of a deep excavation for a metro station in Shanghai soft clay are presented, compared with the similar excavations (retained by a diaphragm wall) in soft clay areas in Asia and five metro ...

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF LIQUEFACTION EFFECTS ON SEISMIC SSI (2008)
<p>The present paper deals with the in&infin;uence of soil non-linearity, introduced by soil liquefaction, on the soil-foundation-structure interaction phenomena. The objective is to reveal the beneficial or unfavourable effects of the non-linear SSI on both ...

TUNNEL EXCAVATION WORKS IN TAKSIM–KABATAS FUNICULAR SYSTEM PROJECT (2005)
<p>Taksim&ndash;Kabatas&cedil; Funicular System Project is planned to integrate the metro system and sea transportation routes by connecting the Taksim Station of the Metro System and the Kabatas&cedil; Sea Bus Pier. The system is also connected to the tramway ...

A THREE DIMENSIONAL FINITE ELEMENT MODEL OF TUNNELING (1995)
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 ...
