Abstract: The immersed tunnelling technique (Figure 1) is widely used for river or sea crossings. An immersed tunnel consists of precast tunnel elements. The immersion joints, which are connecting tunnel elements, are the weakest units of the whole tunnel (C. Ingerslev, 2010, J. Baber et al., 2011). According to the stiffness ratio of the joint to the element, immersion joints can be divided into three...
Abstract: Residential buildings in downtown would suffer disturbance from tunnelling, even with the help of shield machine. Tunnelling in soft soil induces subsidence of ground above metro tunnels, resulting in structural damage of buildings. In the presented study, relevance between field monitoring data of buildings and tunnelling parameters is investigated. The collected data of buildings includes...
