Numerical Modeling of Soil-Tunnel Interaction under New Surface Load

Abstract: El-Azhar road tunnels, a major project of underground structures in Cairo, Egypt, were constructed by the tunneling boring machine (TBM). During construction of a proposed building over the existing El-Azhar road tunnels, Geotechnical challenges are expected to occur. An example of these challenges arises when the proposed building is constructed over the existing southern road tunnel. However, the serious damage in the road tunnel liners is predicted and the maximum radial displacement of the road tunnel is a… Show more

“…The 3-D finite element analysis is used to choose the suitable width so as to realistically reflect the behavior of the tunnel system. The soil depth beneath the invert of the twin tunnels is 2.5 times diameter of the tunnel [5,13]. The model width is varied from 40 meters to 120 meters.…”
