This paper presents results from geotechnical centrifuge tests of tunnelling in dry dense sand beneath loaded non-displacement piles, focusing on the effect of a pile cap (representative also of a raft or grade beam) in contact with the soil surface...

Effects of embedded walls on tunnelling-induced sandy ground displacements: a numerical investigation (2024)
Journal Article
Xu, J., Zheng, L., Song, G., Zhang, D., Sheil, B., & Marshall, A. M. (2024). Effects of embedded walls on tunnelling-induced sandy ground displacements: a numerical investigation. Géotechnique, https://doi.org/10.1680/jgeot.23.00307

Urban tunnelling projects pose significant risks to the integrity of nearby structures due to ground movements induced by the excavation process. Embedded walls are commonly employed as a protective measure to mitigate these adverse effects. This pap...
