MARS Use for Determination of EPB Tunnel-Related Maximum Surface Settlement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
MARS Applications in Geotechnical Engineering Systems

Abstract

A major consideration in urban tunnel design is to estimate the ground movements and surface settlements associated with the tunneling operations. Excessive ground movements may result in damage to adjacent buildings and utilities. Numerous empirical and analytical solutions have been proposed to relate the shield tunnel characteristics and surface/subsurface deformation. Also, numerical analyses, either 2D or 3D, have been used for such tunneling problems. However, substantially fewer approaches have been developed for earth pressure balance (EPB) tunneling.
