Abstract: The present study presents the results of laboratory model tests to check the effect of 2-Arch tunnel construction on a pile supported bridge. A series of reduced scale model tests were carried out in the laboratory using a model reduced from a prototype tunnel case. The main focus of the test is to identify fundamental governing interaction mechanism of between the 2-Arch tunnel and the...

Abstract: In this paper the ground surface movement characteristics associated with urban tunneling in water bearing ground are presented based on the results from a series of finite element (FE) stress pore pressure coupled analysis. A hypothetical tunneling condition was considered with due consideration of urban tunneling situations. A 2D FE model, capable of simulating the relevant tunneling...
Abstract: Tunnelling under high hydraulic head in water bearing ground faces a number of technical issues during design and construction phases. This is especially true for subsea tunnelling which are highlighted by high potential for damage, high pore water pressures, and limited pre-construction accessibility (Anagnostou, 2014). As indicated by Anagnostou (2014), the face instability and the...
