Tunnel–framed building interaction: comparison between raft and separate footing foundations (2020)
Journal Article
Xu, J., Franza, A., Marshall, A. M., Losacco, N., & Boldini, D. (2021). Tunnel–framed building interaction: comparison between raft and separate footing foundations. Géotechnique, 71(7), 631-644. https://doi.org/10.1680/jgeot.19.P.393

This paper investigates the influence of the foundation configuration (raft or separate footings) on tunnel-soil-framed building interaction using geotechnical centrifuge testing. Tunnelling-induced soil movements and deformation fields, framed build... Read More about Tunnel–framed building interaction: comparison between raft and separate footing foundations.

Centrifuge Study on the Influence of Tunnel Excavation on Piles in Sand (2020)
Journal Article
Song, G., & Marshall, A. M. (2020). Centrifuge Study on the Influence of Tunnel Excavation on Piles in Sand. Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 146(12), Article 04020129. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29GT.1943-5606.0002401

© 2020 American Society of Civil Engineers. Tunneling-induced ground movements can affect the equilibrium state of an existing pile, causing uneven settlement among pile groups and damage to connected structures. This paper presents results from five... Read More about Centrifuge Study on the Influence of Tunnel Excavation on Piles in Sand.

Response of Framed Buildings on Raft Foundations to Tunneling (2020)
Journal Article
Xu, J., Franza, A., & Marshall, A. M. (2020). Response of Framed Buildings on Raft Foundations to Tunneling. Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 146(11), Article 04020120. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%29gt.1943-5606.0002376

This paper investigates the response of framed buildings on raft foundations to tunnel construction using geotechnical centrifuge testing. Five framed building models were considered and the influence of building configuration, weight, eccentricity,... Read More about Response of Framed Buildings on Raft Foundations to Tunneling.

Assessment of the Posttunneling Safety Factor of Piles under Drained Soil Conditions (2020)
Journal Article
Marshall, A. M., Franza, A., & Jacobsz, S. W. (2020). Assessment of the Posttunneling Safety Factor of Piles under Drained Soil Conditions. Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 146(9), Article 04020097. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29GT.1943-5606.0002348

The need to tunnel closely beneath piles is increasing due to the development of urban areas. This poses a risk to the stability and serviceability of overlying structures (e.g., buildings, piers, and piled embankments). The impact of tunneling on pi...

Centrifuge modelling of tunnelling induced ground displacements: pressure and displacement control tunnels (2020)
Journal Article
Marshall, A. M., & Song, G. (2020). Centrifuge modelling of tunnelling induced ground displacements: pressure and displacement control tunnels. Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 103, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tust.2020.103461

Predicting the impact of tunnelling-induced ground movements on existing foundation systems or infrastructure is an important stage during tunnel design or risk assessment processes. Centrifuge modelling has been used extensively as a tool to study s... Read More about Centrifuge modelling of tunnelling induced ground displacements: pressure and displacement control tunnels.
