Building Response to Tunnelling

Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground

GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS OF UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION IN SOFT GROUND comprises a collection of 68 contributions, including 55 technical papers, 6 General Reports, 5 Keynotes, 1 Fujita Lecture, and 1 Bright Spark Lecture presented at the 11th International Symposium on Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground (IS-Macau 2024), held in Macao SAR, China, on June 14-17, 2024. The symposium is the latest in a series that began in New Delhi in 1994 and was followed by symposia in London (1996), Tokyo (1999), Toulouse (2002), Amsterdam (2005), Shanghai (2008), Rome (2011), Seoul (2014), Sao Paulo (2017), and Cambridge (2022). This symposium was organized by the University of Macau, Civil Engineering Laboratory of Macau, and the Macau Association for Geotechnical Engineering under the auspices of TC204 of ISSMGE. The book includes contributions from more than 15 countries on the research, design, and construction of underground works in soft ground. The theme of IS-Macau 2024 is “Tunnelling and Underground Construction for Smart Cities”. The contributions cover the following topics: Basic properties and soil improvement in soft ground Constitutive and Numerical Modelling Innovative analysis and design in tunneling and underground construction Smart monitoring and visualization technologies for tunneling and underground construction Sustainability and resilience of underground infrastructure Field case studies Similar to previous editions, GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS OF UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION IN SOFT GROUND serves as an invaluable resource offering insights into the contemporary methods of analyzing, designing, and executing tunnels and deep excavations within soft ground environments, crucial for the advancement of smart cities. The book is particularly aimed at academics and professionals interested in geotechnical and underground engineering.

Response of Piled Buildings to the Construction of Deep Excavations

Deep excavations in densely populated urban areas around the world pose specific challenges due to the increasingly complex conditions in which they are undertaken. The construction of underground car parks, cellar storage areas and major infrastructure in deep excavations helps to preserve the quality of space above ground. Despite the considerable effort that goes into their design and construction, such projects often encounter problems, such as damage to existing structures, delays and cost overruns. This book presents the results of an extensive research project conducted at the University of Cambridge, in cooperation with the Netherlands Centre of Underground Construction (COB) and Deltares, the Dutch Institute for water, subsurface and infrastructure issues. The study gained insight into mechanisms of soil-structure interaction for piled buildings adjacent to deep excavations and resulted in suggestions for designing and monitoring deep excavations in urban areas with soft soil conditions. Monitoring data of the construction of three deep excavations for the North–South metro line in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, have been used to validate the methods described. This book aims to contribute to the reduction of failure costs in the building industry, and in underground construction in particular.
