BEHAVIOR OF THE BURIED TUNNEL INFLUENCED BY THE EXCAVATION

The infrastructure in the urban underground includes sewer pipes, water pipes, gas pipes, communication tunnels and subway tunnels. New tunnel construction faces the problems caused by being close to these buried tunnels. Consideration of this infrastructure is needed when undertaking large-scale underground construction. In this paper the authors discuss the Rebound Control Method (RCM) for reducing the heaving of buried tunnels. The paper also presents the result of predicted rebound using the finite element method, as well as the observations during construction for a subway line.
