Abstract
  Mechanized tunnelling in soft soils often results in ground settlement both around the tunnel and at the surface, which can potentially damage urban infrastructure and surrounding buildings. Several geological and operational factors influence the extent of ground settlement. This paper investigates ...  Read More

Abstract
  Excavation with Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) in urban environments can have risks, such as ground surface settlement. The empty space between the cutterhead and the segment should be filled with suitable grout during the excavation. Nowadays, using grout behind the segment and other fillers fill the empty ...  Read More
