Abstract [en]

One of the most crucial tasks in the design, control, and construction of urban deep excavations is ensuring the safety of the existing underground infrastructure. Deformation and settlement created by excavation may damage the adjacent tunnels. In this study, the stability of an existing triple tunnel in relation to the construction of an adjacent deep excavation is evaluated by numerical simulation using both the discrete-element method (DEM) and the finite-element method (FEM). A deep excavation supported by the retaining wall and five levels of strutting system was created adjacent to an existing triple tunnel. The excavation’s width and depth were 30 and 16 m, respectively. In both discrete-element (DE) and finite-element (FE) simulations, the horizontal spacing of the triple tunnel wall relative to the retaining wall (SH) is varied between 3 and 35 m, while vertical spacing of the triple tunnel’s crown from the ground surface (SV) is changed from 4.8 to 32 m. The results indicated that at a certain value of SV and with increasing the SH, the horizontal displacement of the wall decreases. The variations in the triple tunnel position significantly affected the settlement pattern. In addition, the results showed that the maximum vertical displacement occurred at the middle tunnel crown, while the lowest value of the maximum vertical displacement was found at the crown of the right tunnel. At a certain value of the vertical displacement, the wall horizontal displacement is deduced by increasing in the SH value.
