Abstract: The efficient assessment of tunneling effects on adjacent existing piles is significant for underground constructions. In this study, a new analytical approach was developed to rapidly assess lateral pile responses due to ...

Abstract: Although an appropriate excavation sequence contributes to minimizing the excavation-induced impact on the underlying existing tunnel, few studies have focused on the comparison of the excavation sequence for engineering ...

Abstract: Under long-term service, shield tunnel linings are prone to diseases such as bolt corrosion, reinforcement corrosion, and cracks; therefore reliability analysis of tunnel linings is significant for overall tunnel stability. ...
