Experimental study of tunnel effects on deformation mitigation in soft clay excavation using centrifuge and PIV

Abstract In soft clay, deep excavations adjacent to tunnels cause complex soil–structure interactions. We conducted centrifuge tests with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to simulate a staged deep-pit excavation near a model tunnel. A scaled retaining wall and tunnel lining were instrumented in a st...
