Study on the Effect of Foundation Pit Excavation on the Deformation of Adjacent Shield Tunnel by Cirong Lu, Long Huang

“…The following conclusions are drawn: (1) the excavation of adjacent foundation pit will cause excessive displacement, settlement, and structural convergent deformation of shield tunnel, causing structural damage such as increasing of faulting, water leakage, and seeping. (2) With the decrease of the distance between the tunnel and the foundation pit, the convergent deformation of the tunnel increases continuously, and when the distance is less than 30 m, the increase of segment thickness greatly improves the convergent deformation of the structure. (3) The increase of segment thickness has no obvious effect on the resistance to longitudinal deformation. …”
