Scope of today’s presentation :
• principles of the “Gaussian curve” empirical method• Tunnel excavations at depths typical for civil engineering (e.g. for sewers, roads, railways etc…)
• Tunnelling in both soil and rock, emphasis on soil• time dependent consolidation and “de‐pressurisation” effects• effects of settlement on structures on/within the ground • more rigorous analytical methods, 2D and 3D numerical modelling, centrifuge testing and “1G” scaled modelling are not discussed
• “Control measures” are discussed in the Part 2 companion paper.
References to be found in the handouts.

Tunnelling movements:
• Face take; • Radial take into annular gap; • distortion of the tunnel lining; • Alignment variation during
drive (radius, pitch, yaw); • changes in groundwater
pressures and time dependent consolidation in fine soils;
• re‐compaction in coarse grained soils.
• Transient outward movements or “heave”
• Rapidly changing ground conditions

Preliminary assessment
Second stage assessment
Detailed evaluation
• Contours of settlement• <10mm, 1:500 slope• e.g. Rankin (1988)
• Sum of tensile ground and structure strains
• Deflection ratios/angular distortions
• Relative stiffness effects
• “Moderate” risk or greater• structure details, movement history and condition in detail
• 2D and 3D, numerical analysis of SSI if appropriate

I&M AND BACK‐ANALYSIS
THE ATS TUNNEL DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION SHORT COURSE 2012
KEY POINTS
1. Tunnelling method, heading geometry (C/D, P/D), and stress ratio (N, LF) are important considerations when using the empirical Gaussian method.
2. Assumption of radial movements towards the tunnel axis are OK and generally conservative for near surface settlement assessment in uniform soil. They fall down when looking close to the tunnel however.
3. “de‐pressurisation” (effective stress) settlement can be important when tunnelling in or near compressible fine grained soils.
4. Long term “consolidation settlement” can be important, especially in soft fine grained soils, even if water pressures balanced during tunnelling.
5. A phased approach to risk assessment is typically undertaken with a preliminary assessment based on settlement and slope – often all that can be done with limited data.
6. Second stage assessments may be undertaken based on an understanding of the structural form (e.g. Burland’s /L and h % method); simple modification factors can be applied for SSI effects.
7. Detailed evaluation of critical structures should take into account relative stiffness effects, 3‐D effects and self weight of the structure. FE/FD modelling usually required.
8. Simple back‐analysis of inexpensive I&M data is recommended to validate your design assumptions and improve the case history database.
