Abstract: Current design practice to predict tunneling-induced ground movements is generally based on empirical methods that are subjected to some important limitations. For a ground deformation prediction due to tunneling to be ...

Abstract: Complete weathering of parent rock has resulted in the formation of residual soils that cover most of the land area of Sri Lanka. The physiography of the island demands that new engineering structures be located on sloping ...

Abstract: In this paper, a two-stage approach is used to analyze the lateral and axial responses of piles caused by tunneling. First, free-field soil movements are estimated based on an analytical method, and, second, these estimated ...

Abstract: Settlement and stability are the primary geotechnical considerations in the design of embankments founded on soft clay. Settlements are inevitably associated with lateral deformations. Lateral flow in turn is an indirect ...
