Cambridge Geotechnical Centrifuge Operations

A. N. Schofield
- 01 Sep 1980 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the stress/strain behavior of soil alters with change of effective pressure p and specific volume v. The range of values of a new equivalent liquidity LI5 = LI+0·5 log (p′/5) associated with yielding is 1·9

Analytical Prediction for Tunneling-Induced Ground Movements in Clays

N. Loganathan, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a design practice to predict tunneling-induced ground deformation based on empirical methods that are subjected to some important limitations, such as the limitation that empirical methods are not suitable for tunneling deformation prediction.

Upper and lower bound solutions for the face stability of shallow circular tunnels in frictional material

E. Leca, +1 more
- 20 Sep 1990 - 
TL;DR: In most cases the ground itself is not suitable for underground urban development as well as for transportation, tunnels need to be driven in increasingly difficult soil conditions as mentioned in this paper, and in most cases, ground conditions are not suitable.

Database for Retaining Wall and Ground Movements due to Deep Excavations

Michael Long
- 01 Mar 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a database of 300 case histories of wall and ground movements due to deep excavations worldwide is presented, and a large database is used to extract case histories from these case histories.

Analytical Solutions for Shallow Tunnels in Saturated Ground

Antonio Bobet
- 01 Dec 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this article, complete analytical solutions for a shallow tunnel in saturated ground are obtained, and two different drainage conditions have been considered: full drainage at the ground-liner interface, and no drainage.
