Abstract
This paper presents an investigation into the tunnelling-induced settlements measured over the Whitechapel Station SCL tunnelling works in 2012-2014, and a tentative prediction of the future ground behaviour. A novel approach to analysis has been used owing to the interaction between the two parallel station tunnels and this method is proposed for predicting such behaviour at similar sites in the future.
It was found that settlements and slopes increase over time at a logarithmically decreasing rate, and rapidly can no longer be described by a Gaussian curve. The long-term effects are dependent on the number of tunnels and their spacing, the permeability of the lining, and the material surrounding the excavation.
