Ground Movements due to Shallow Tunnels in Soft Ground. I: Analytical Solutions

This paper presents simplified closed-form analytical solutions that can be used to interpret and predict ground movements caused by shallow tunneling in soft ground conditions. These solutions offer a more comprehensive framework for understanding the distribution of ground movements than widely us...
