A Design Framework for TBM Face Equilibrium in Permeable Ground
Abstract: support pressure is an abstract representation of the combined effects of partial excavation, ground reinforcement, and the different support elements. The use of closed-face tunnel boring machines (TBM) changed this perspective, as the magnitude of pressures acting on the excavation boundary could be controlled in a more direct way. The pressures stabilize the tunnel face while in front of the...

Pile Tunnel Interaction: Literature Review and Data Analysis
Abstract: The underground space of densely populated cities contains deep foundations and tunnels. Considering the possibility that a new tunnel can be built close to existing piles it is necessary to assess the possible effects of that interaction. Most case studies have shown limited damage on pile supported structures; however, these constructions deal with great uncertainty as the mechanism of pile...

Pile tunnel interaction: Pile settlement vs Ground settlements
Abstract: The underground space of densely populated cities contains parts of buildings, utility installations, deep foundations, tunnels, and deep excavations. It is possible, and increasing more probable, that new underground constructions will be built within proximity of existing pile foundations. This paper analyses how a new a framework for pile analysis, a modified version of the load transfer...

TBM Pressure Models: Calculation Tools
Abstract: Mechanized tunnel construction in soft ground has evolved significantly over the last 20 years, especially on the matter of settlement control. This was achieved by guiding the TBM operation to control the main factors that induce soil displacements, namely the face pressure and the closure of the soil-lining void. Nowadays, TBMs can be operated within strict serviceability requirements....
