Analysis of Soil-Compacting Effect Caused by Shield Tunneling Using Three-Dimensional Elastoplastic Solution of Cylindrical Cavity Expansion

Soil squeezing effect and formation disturbance caused by tunnel excavation can be simulated by cylindrical cavity expansion due to the comparability between tunneling and cavity expansion. Although most of the existing theoretical derivation is based on simple constitutive model of soil foundation,...
