Abstract

This paper presents the results of 3D numerical analysis on a case history in which tunnelling caused groundwater drawdown and associated ground settlements. The dynamics of the effect of groundwater on the tunnel behavior and the ground settlements are thoroughly investigated by analyzing the results of analysis. The results highlighted the role of groundwater drawdown on the ground settlements and on the tunnel behavior. Based on the results, the ground surface settlement characteristics associated with groundwater drawdown are identified. Practical implications of the findings from this study are discussed.
