- Abstract
Unloading of excavation of foundation pit has influence on adjacent tunnels, therefore it is important to predict the deformation of metro tunnels to ensure the operation of tunnel. The displacement effect due to the surrounding wall soil unloading of adjacent excavation was not considered by the theoretical analysis method, and the analysis procedure of FEM was usually too complicated to get a satisfied result, so the horizontal and vertical additional stress were calculated by the Mindlin solutions. Furthermore, the tunnel structure was considered as the beam with infinite length. The additional stress was imposed on the Winkler model and the governing equation was built up on the adjacent tunnel structure. Finally, displacements and internal forces of existing tunnels were obtained. Compared with the numerical simulation and an engineering case, the results of the presented formula are in good agreement. It can provide certain theoretical and calculation basis for metro tunnels influenced by adjacent excavation.
