Centrifuge modelling of the impact of mechanised tunnelling on piled foundations using a miniature TBM
… carried out using tunnel boring machines or TBMs. Understanding the stress relief and soil deformations taking place in the soil mass around the tunnel boring machine is key to analysing the complex problem of tunnel-soil-structure interaction. The cost and complexity associated with field …

Scale-model investigation of brittle tunnel failure using a true-triaxial device
… model tests using a true-triaxial cell, a mock miniature tunnel boring machine (TBM), and acoustic emission (AE) monitoring, and (3) proposing more robust analytical methods and predictive models for brittle failures. The analog rock was designed to mimic the brittle behavior of sedimentary rock …

Foundation response to ground movements induced by tunnel excavation
… an earth pressure balance tunnel boring machine (TBM) was back-analysed. Different soil-structure interaction approaches of various complexity including continuum-based elastic analyses, plane-strain finite element analysis and three-dimensional finite element analysis were compared. The continuum …
