Tunneling Induced Ground Movements
• 3D-Ground Movements (Attewell and Woodman, 1982)
• Transversal Trough(s); • Longitudinal Trough(s); • Start about 2.4i /1.5D ahead and,
reach maximum value about 3i / 2D behind tunnel face
• Ground movements consists of:- Vertical Deformation / Settlements- Horizontal Deformations • Induced effects comprise:- Differential Settlements (Angular
Distortions)- Horizontal Strains

Modes of Ground Deformations above Tunnel
In Cohesionless Soils- Soil above roof does not yield
and moves down as a block- Localized yield around sides
propagates to surfaceIn Cohesive Soils- Continuous yield zone that
expands around tunnel. No Localized yielding
Resulting in larger max. settlement but narrower trough width in cohesionless soils ( K = 0.2 to 0.3) compared to cohesive soils (K= 0.4 for Stiff to 0.7 for Soft Clays)
• After Wong & Kaiser, 1987

Tunnel Depth vs. Trough Width for different soil types

Subsurface Settlement Profiles (after Mair 1993)
• Trough width decreases with depth
• Smax increases with depth• Provides settlement profile
at base of foundations

Ground Movements in TBM Tunneling
• Main Contributing Factors- stress change (relief) ahead and axial ground deformation
toward face of tunnel ~ σ’H + Pw > σT
- ground deformations due to overcutting – radial - ground deformations into tail void (annulus around TBM/Lining)- Deformations of Lining- Due to primary and secondary consolidation – increased if
excessive face pressure are applied • Main Controlling Factor- Face Support Pressure- Backfill Grouting: Workability, Early Setting, Strength, Stiffness
![Page 10: Evaluation of Ground Movements Caused by TBM Tunneling …...• Building idealised as a deep beam with span L and height H • Buildings assumed to follow the deformed ground at the](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081411/60aa9af9f124b13e874217b9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
GROUND LOSS
• In soft ground tunnels, ground loss is key parameter
• It is physical gap around TBM shield and the lining + Lining Deformation (typically squatting)
• Minimize the gap by grouting through TBM tail, early setting, non-shrinkage higher stiffness grout mix.

Annular Grouting Through TBM Tailskin
• Grouting concurrently with Excavation & TBM Advance• Grouting as close as practicable in the tail void

Numerical Analyses
3D and 2D Numerical Modelling
13
- 3D analyses shows stress distribution around tunnel face- Rotation of major and minor principal stress and resulting ground
arching is captured- Stress relaxation factors can be obtained from model to undertake
a number of 2D analyses along the tunnel
![Page 14: Evaluation of Ground Movements Caused by TBM Tunneling …...• Building idealised as a deep beam with span L and height H • Buildings assumed to follow the deformed ground at the](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081411/60aa9af9f124b13e874217b9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Numerical Methods of Ground Movement Estimation
3D Numerical Analyses allow consideration of:- Site specific geo-stratigraphy & groundwater- Foundations and surcharge loads above and adjacent- Soil and structure interaction- Modelling of construction method and Sequence ; TBM
Geometry & Annulus, Face Pressures, Ring Building- Ground relaxation and arching effects are implicit 2D-Axi Symmetric Analyses & 2D Plain Strain Analyses together can be used instead of 3D Analyses- Obtain longitudinal displacement profile and stresses from axi-
symmetric model- Obtain radial displacements from 2D model to obtain stress
relaxation factors

BUILDING DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
3-Stage Assessment • Stage 1- Based on total and differential settlements- Provides a corridor wide screening criteria• Stage 2- Based on strains induced in Building- Correlate strains to limiting strains and a extent of likely
damages to building and required repair and mitigation • Stage 3- Modelling of buildings and ground and their interaction effects- Only for buildings assessed slight or higher damage categories
in stage 2 assessment

Stage 2 Assessment
• Building idealised as a deep beam with span L and height H
• Buildings assumed to follow the deformed ground at the foundation level
• The settlement trough subdivided into sagging and a hogging zones, delimited by the point of inflections
• Ground movement profiles are obtained from numerical or semi-empirical methods.
• Based on concept of limiting (critical) strain proposed by Burland & Wroth (1974) and modified by Boscardin & Cording (1989)

Calculation of Strains in Building
• Deflection ratio in hogging and sagging spans (∆ / L)
• Maximum bending and diagonal strains (εbt and εdt)
• Horizontal Strains (εh ) OR
• Angular distortion in building (β)• Horizontal Strains (εh )
H, height of the building.E/G, = 2.6 Masonry and 2.5 for RC Bldg.L, Length of the considered building span.I, Sagging I = H3 / 12; Hogging I = H3 / 3t, Sagging t= H / 2; Hogging t = H

Calculation of Strains in Building
• Maximum bending and diagonal strains in building
• Angular Distortion in building• In Hogging Zone: due to the restraining
effect of the foundation, the neutral axis can be assumed at extreme fibre of the beam. Then, all strains due to bending are tensile.
• In Sagging Zone, it is reasonable to assume that the neutral axis is located in the middle of the beam. In this case, bending will generate both tensile and compressive strains.
• 6-damage categories identified based on limiting strains (Boscardin & Cording, 1989)

Stage 2 vs Stage 1 Assessment
• Considers horizontal ground movement and strains• The settlement trough subdivided into sagging and a hogging
zones• Consider location of building within the settlement trough.• A building can be considered separately at each side of a point
of inflexions, an hence assessed separately in 2-zones. • Structural strains in the building are obtained and assessed
against limiting strains associated with a defined level of damage
• Quantifies structural impacts and can be used as an approach to assess risks and need for monitoring and mitigation measures for buildings,
