Urban tunnelling projects pose significant risks to the integrity of nearby structures due ground movements induced by excavation process. Embedded walls are commonly employed as a protective measure mitigate these adverse effects. This paper presents comprehensive numerical investigation into effects embedded on tunnelling-induced displacements, aiming provide insights and recommendations for optimal wall design. The study assesses impact varying length horizontal distance from tunnel soil...
Tunneling-induced ground movements can affect the equilibrium state of an existing pile, causing uneven settlement among pile groups and damage to connected structures. This paper presents results from five centrifuge tests aimed at evaluating load redistribution mechanisms that occur within piles located close tunnel excavation. Two main are studied: first, those related displacements stress relief tunneling and, second, head changes caused by superstructures (accomplished using a hybrid...
Preliminary estimations of shaft resistance rock-socketed piles are usually conducted using empirical formulations that relate to the uniaxial compressive strength (σc) weaker material involved (intact rock or pile). However, there other factors, such as degree socket roughness, could affect piles. In this paper, results from geotechnical centrifuge tests presented demonstrate effect roughness on pile resistance. Aluminum model with different degrees were fabricated and embedded within an...
Deep, large-diameter caisson shafts are a popular means of constructing underground storage and attenuation tanks pumping stations for the water wastewater industry. One key design concerns these structures is resistance to flotation during periods when only partially filled or empty. In this paper, two-dimensional numerical analysis used explore undrained uplift provided by under-reaming walls shaft create an enlarged base. The primary aim study assess influence taper angle anchor (i.e....
The development of underground spaces inevitably poses significant risks to nearby infrastructure due construction-induced ground displacements. While our understanding tunnel-induced movements is now relatively mature, there a distinct lack literature on large-diameter open caisson shafts. This paper fills this gap by describing results from small-scale laboratory study exploring soil deformation mechanisms during construction in dry sand. Results seven tests are analyzed identify the...
One challenge for geotechnical centrifuge testing of soil–structure interaction problems is the reliable measurement induced structural strains/forces. This paper presents a novel application fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors strain within tests. FBG have several advantages testing, in particular their small size and minimal self-weight. gives an overview recently developed installation calibration procedures buried model structures. The effect thermal expansion/contraction materials...
