Abstract:With the rapid expansion of urbanization, shafts are needed to provide access to tunnelling projects or be utilized for permanent works. Their construction causes ground movements, affecting nearby foundations and buried infrastructure. This study presents an analytical equivalent volume loss approach for predicting three-dimensional ground movements resulting from a circular shaft construction: namely, ground losses in the elastic isotropic half-space as a sequence of cavity contractions around the shaft are … Show more
