Undrained stability of dual tunnels in layered soils with different strength

Abstract The stability of dual circle tunnels buried in layered soils with different shear strengths was investigated by using finite element limit analysis (FELA). The emphasis of this study is in quantitating that the existing tunnels affects the newly-built one, and design suggestions have been p...
