Numerical Analysis of the Influence of Shield Tunneling to Adjacent Loaded Piles

Abstract:

Suzhou Light Railway Line 1 is used as a case history to investigate the effects of the non-homogeneity of soil, distance to the tunnel and cushion cap on the pile foundation performance including horizontal displacements, settlements, axial forces and bending moments. According to behaviors of the single pile and pile group under different concentrated loads, it is concluded that with tunneling, the loaded pile foundation will rotate toward to the tunnel and their bearing capacity is influenced significantly.
