Numerical Analysis of the Urban Subway Tunnel Construction on Shallow Foundations and Preventive Measures

Abstract:

The subway line will cross near the church St. Johann in the city. The foundation influence caused by tunnel construction from adjacent buildings will be simulated by software FLAC3D. And the feasible proposal of the construction will be resulted from the data which are collected from the field measurement and simulation. It plays an important role for coefficient of horizontal pressure K0 in simulating the geotechnical engineering. Comparing the data from the field measurement with simulation, the coefficient of horizontal pressure will be corrected. And the results of the simulation will be much closer to the real profiles.
