Abstract
This paper is a study on railway tunnel behavior characteristic of shallow overburden under the existing road. In order to understand the behavior characteristics of the ground deformation during tunnel excavation, a horizontal rod extensometers were installed in the passage area of the shallow overburden tunnel under the road, and the measurement and analysis were carried out. To compare the in situ measurement, three dimensional numerical analysis with ground condition and construction step was carried out using MIDAS NX. As a result of the field measurement, large preceding settlement occurred where the poor ground condition with shallow overburden excavation has been conducted. As a result of the numerical analysis, the largest settlement occurred at the shallow overburden point where the ground condition was poor. Therefore, in the shallow overburden section where the soil condition is poor and a sufficient depth can't be secured and the arching effect of the ground around the tunnel can't be expected, careful attention should be paid to the application of stiffness reinforcement measures and to minimize ground loosening.
