Abstract: Tunneling induced damage to adjacent structures is likely to delay construction schedule, increase construction cost, and generate negative community and political impacts. The increasing demand for urban tunneling in densely developed underground areas and the associated economic and political risks lead designers to seek tools for accurate predicts of tunneling induced damage to adjacent...
Abstract: Construction of double-arch tunnels involves in high risk due to their large span and special structural shape. This paper presents a case study on the construction techniques of a shallowly buried large cross-section double-arch tunnel. The subject is the Haicang doublearch tunnel which has an excavation cross sectional area of 498.8 m2 and is shallowly buried in weathered rock mass and mixed...
Abstract: The Gongbei Port tunnel is a critical component of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, currently the largest ongoing construction project in China, connecanwith a series of bridges and tunnels. It is a double deck, three-lane in each direction roadway tunnel with a length of 255 m, cross-sectional area of 345 m and approximate alignment curvature of 900 m. The tunnel is buried within soft...
Abstract: Soft ground tunnels are vulnerable to a variety of defects during operation. With rapid development of urban rail systems worldwide, especially in China, tunnel structural health assessment has brought extensive attention. Surrounded by soils and groundwater, tunnels are different from bridges, buildings, roadways and other above-ground structures due to the uncertainties associated with the...
