Predicting Ground Settlement Due to Symmetrical Tunneling through an Energy Conservation Method
This paper presents an analytical method using the energy conservation principle to predict ground settlement due to symmetrically shaped tunnel construction in elastic ground conditions. Ground settlement is calculated by balancing the energy in shearing the soil, the work done by gravity, and the...
