Abstract: When tunnels are constructed in urban areas, excavation is often carried out under the water table and beneath structures which, in many cases, are founded on piles. In this context, pressurised Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) are used to minimise ground movements in the urban environment. To limit damages generated by the excavation works, it is essential to give the best prediction of tunnelling...
Abstract: On shallow tunneling, the assessment of risks in terms of surface settlements and tunnel face stability remains a huge challenge for engineers. In the aim to design conventional tunneling in an automatic sequenced process with risks analysis, a new 3D analysis software has been developed based on the finite element software CESAR-LCPC. This paper intends to present the features of the new...
