SETTLEMENT IN THE VICINITY OF SHIELD-DRIVEN TUNNELS

ASENTAMIENTOS EN LA VECINDAD DE TUNELES PERFORADOS CON ESCUDO

Results are given of measurements of settlement taken in the proximity of shield-driven tunnels. A relation is established between settlement and the nature of the terrain, the driving process and the tunnel lining used. Attention is drawn to the consequencies of shield driving for neighbouring structures. /TRRL/
