Thesis
The prediction of surface settlements due to tunnelling in soft ground
- Abstract:
-
The investigation of various soil models for the prediction of surface settlement profiles due to the excavation of a single tunnel in soft ground is described in this thesis. Both analytical and numerical methods are used. Emphasis is placed on the establishment of the width of the predicted settlement trough. In the analytical analysis the ground is assumed to be an elastic halfspace. The problem is approached using two methods: (i) the application of a line load to model the uplift of soi...
