Abstract: By increasing population in urban areas, transportation supplement, increase too, and best solution for this problem is underground transportation. Usually Tunnel excavation accompanies by considerable changes in situ stress condition around the tunnel. One of the most important effects of this soil distribution is surface settlement. This unwarranted surface settlement in shallow tunnels is...
Abstract: In this paper construction of urban traffic tunnel in disturbed soil stratum based on New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) has been investigated. As a case study, Modares tunnel which is a part of Arash-Esfandiar-Niyayesh Project has been considered. This tunnel has been designed to connect and reduce the traffic volume between Modares highway and Niyayesh Highway in north of Tehran-Iran. The...
Abstract: Under passing tunnels are strongly influenced by the soil around. There are some complexities in specification of real soil behaviour, owning the fact that lots of uncertainties exist in soil properties and additionally inappropriate soil constitutive model. Such mentioned factors may cause incompatible settlements in numerical analysis with the obtained values in actual construction. This...
Abstract: When the situation demands the construction of metro station beneath narrow roads, dense buildings or heavy traffic streets, enlarging process based on shield tunnel with Pile-Beam-Arch method would be an effective way to construct a metro station in comparison with other conventional methods. Based on geometrical and structural characteristics of the metro station, FLAC3D is used to build a...
