흙막이 벽체 배후지반의 지표 침하는 인접구조물의 안전성에 많은 영향을 미친다. 그러나 지반굴착에 따른 주변 지반의 침하는 예측하기가 쉽지 않고 굴착면으로부터 이격거리에 따른 침하량을 정량적으로 구하는 것은 더욱 어려운 일이다. 흙막이 벽체의 변형에 의한 지표침하는 수치해석(FEM)이나, 경험적 방법 Peck(1969)등으로 추정하고 있으나 주로 토사층을 대상으로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토사층 하부에 암반층이 위치하는 복합지반을 굴착 할 때 암반층의 깊이와 절리경사에 따른 흙막이 벽체 배후지반의 지표침하를 대형모형실험(규격: $3m{\times}3m{\times}0.5m$)을 수행하여 측정하였다. 모형실험은 축척 1/14.5로 하고 10단계로 굴착을 하였다. 암반층 비율은 35%와 50%로 하였고 암반층의 절리경사를 $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$로 하여 단계굴착하면서 흙막이 벽체 버팀대에 작용하는 토압(Lee 2014)과 흙막이 벽체 배후지반의 지표 침하량을 측정하였다. 암반층비율과 암반층 절리경사가 증가하면 배후지반의 지표침하량도 증가하며 암반층 절리경사 $60^{\circ}$(J60)에서는 수평지반 굴착시에 비해 최대 17배 크게 발생하였다. 흙막이벽체 배후지반에서 최대 지표침하는 경험적 방법과 달리 흙막이 벽체로부터 굴착깊이의 17%~33%만큼 이격된 위치에서 가장 크게 발생하였다. 복합지반의 지표침하는 전반적으로 경험적 추정방법에 의한 지표침하량에 비해 작게 나타났다.

The most important issue during shield TBM tunneling in soft ground formations is to appropriately control ground surface settlement. Among various operational conditions in shield TBM tunneling, the face pressure and backfill pressure should be the most important and immediate measure to restrain surface settlement during excavation. In this paper, a 3-D hydro-mechanical coupled FE model is developed to numerically simulate the entire process of shield TBM tunneling, which is verified by comparing with real field measurements of ground surface settlement. The effect of permeability and stiffness of ground formations on tunneling-induced surface settlement was discussed in the parametric study. An increase in the face pressure and backfill pressure does not always lead to a decrease in surface settlement, but there are the critical face pressure and backfill pressure. In addition, considering the relatively low permeability of ground formations, the surface settlement consists of two parts, i.e., immediate settlement and consolidation settlement, which shows a distinct settlement behavior to each other.

This paper analyzes the ground surface settlements induced by side-by-side twin shield tunnels bored in sedimentary soils, which primarily consist of sand with clay strata above the tunnel crown. The measurements were obtained during the construction of twin tunnels underneath the Incheon International Airport (IIA) located in Korea. The measured surface settlement troughs are approximated with Gaussian functions. The trough width parameters i and K of the settlement troughs produced by the first and second tunnel passings are determined, along with those for the total settlement trough. The surface settlement troughs produced by the first shield passing are reasonably represented by a symmetric Gaussian curve. The surface settlement troughs induced by the second shield tunnel display marginal asymmetric shapes at selected sections. The total settlement troughs are fitted both with a shifted symmetric Gaussian function and the superposition method utilizing an asymmetric function for the incremental trough produced by the second tunnel. It is revealed that the superposition method does not always produce better fits with the total settlement. Instead, the shifted symmetric Gaussian function is overall demonstrated to provide more favorable agreements with the recordings. Therefore, the shifted symmetric Gaussian function is recommended to be used in the design for the prediction of the settlement in clays caused by twin tunneling considering the simplicity of the procedure compared with the superposition method. The amount of increase in the width parameter K for the twin tunnel relative to that for the single tunnel is quantified, which can be used for a preliminary estimate of the surface settlement in clay induced by twin shield tunnels.

It is a common practice to extract water from the ground for domestic, agricultural or industrial uses or to lower the groundwater level for construction work. An accurate prediction of ground settlement Is sometimes crucial when groundwater is pumped. This case study have shown that drawdown of the groundwater table may cause ground subsidence. Many settlement gauges was installed in the vicinity of a pumped well to measure the surface settlement. The relationships between the level of groundwater drop and surface settlement is investigated In this research.

With the rapid development of urban underground traffic, the study of soil deformation induced by subway tunnel construction and its settlement prediction are gradually of general concern in engineering circles. The law of soil displacement caused by shield tunnel construction of adjacent buildings is analyzed in this paper. The author holds that ground surface settlement based on the Gauss curve or Peck formula induced by tunnel excavation of adjacent buildings is not reasonable. Integrating existing research accomplishments, the paper proposed that surface settlement presents cork distribution curve characters, skewed distribution curve characteristics and normal distribution curve characteristics when the tunnel is respectively under buildings, within the scope of the disturbance and outside the scope of the disturbance. Calculation formulas and parameters on cork distribution curve and skewed distribution curve were put forward. The numerical simulation, experimental comparison and model test analysis show that it is reasonable for surface settlement to present cork distribution curve characters, skewed distribution curve characteristics and normal distribution curve characteristics within a certain range. The research findings can be used to make effective prediction of ground surface settlement caused by tunnel construction of adjacent buildings, and to provide theoretical guidance for the design and shield tunnelling.

Tunnel boring machines combined with the earth pressure balanced shield method (EPB shield TBMs) have been adopted in urban areas as they allow excavation of tunnels with limited ground deformation through continuous and repetitive excavation and support. Nevertheless, the expansion of TBM construction requires much more minor and exquisitely controlled surface settlement to prevent economic loss. Several parametric studies controlling the tunnel's geometry, ground properties, and TBM operational factors assuming ordinary conditions for EPB shield TBM excavation have been conducted, but the impact of excessive excavation on the induced settlement has not been adequately studied. This study conducted a numerical evaluation of surface settlement induced by the ground loss from face imbalance, excessive excavation, and tail void grouting. The numerical model was constructed using FLAC3D and validated by comparing its result with the field data from literature. Then, parametric studies were conducted by controlling the ground stiffness, face pressure, tail void grouting pressure, and additional volume of muck discharge. As a result, the contribution of these operational factors to the surface settlement appeared differently depending on the ground stiffness. Except for the ground stiffness as the dominant factor, the order of variation of surface settlement was investigated, and the volume of additional muck discharge was found to be the largest, followed by the face pressure and tail void grouting pressure. The results from this study are expected to contribute to the development of settlement prediction models and understanding the surface settlement behavior induced by TBM excavation.

Foundation settlements(settlements at the embankment surface and ground) has been evaluating to satisfy the strict allowable residual settlement level from the start of the construction of Gyungbu high speed railway. This is because both embankment and ground settlement could be important to minimize the residual settlement after the construction of concrete track. Ground settlement is caused by the increase of effective stress resulting from embankment. The causes of embankment settlement could be come from different sources, for example, the increase of effective stress, rainfall, creep behaviors. Based on the field measured data, this paper analysed the settlement of ground and embankment settlement. The biggest settlement at the embankment surface was 9.7mm during 246days at the STA 000k922.5. The calculated settlement of embankment itself was 8.6mm at the same places. These results conclude that the compressive settlement of embankment could not negligible.

In this study, the influence of groundwater variation and surface settlement adjacent to the excavation site of subway station on $\bigcirc$$\bigcirc$ Gas station and the $\bigcirc$$\bigcirc$ building is analized. Measurement data of surface settlement, horizontal deformation and groundwater level are used to verify the results of Caspe analytical method and FLAC numerical analysis. Variation of groundwater level adjacent to the excavation site is modelled by the 3-D groundwater flow program, MODFLOW. The results of both the analytical method and the numerical method were quite close to the measurement data of surface settlement.

Braced excavation systems are commonly required to ensure stability in construction of basements for shopping malls, underground transportation and other habitation facilities. For excavations in deposits of soft clays or residual soils, stiff retaining wall systems such as diaphragm walls are commonly adopted to restrain the ground movements and wall deflections in order to prevent damage to surrounding buildings and utilities. The ground surface settlement behind the excavation is closely associated with the magnitude of basal heave and the wall deflections and is also greatly influenced by the possible groundwater drawdown caused by potential wall leakage, flow from beneath the wall, flow from perched water and along the wall interface or poor panel connections due to the less satisfactory quality. This paper numerically investigates the influences of excavation geometries, the system stiffness, the soil properties and the groundwater drawdown on ground surface settlement and develops a simplified maximum surface settlement Logarithm Regression model for the maximum ground surface settlement estimation. The settlements estimated by this model compare favorably with a number of published and instrumented records.
