Abstract
A preliminary numerical investigation of the effects in terms of tunnelling-induced ground movements in short- and long-term due to the construction of a Double-O-Tube tunnel in London clay beneath Hyde Park is presented. The model is calibrated against oedometer and undrained triaxial tests on intact samples of London Clay using a kinematic hardening soil model (named M2-SKH). The adoption of this advanced constitutive model is justified through the simulation of some drained and undrained triaxial tests on normal-consolidated and over-consolidated samples. The results are compared to a recent analysis of the excavation of the new Crossrail twin tunnels, which provides excellent predictions of the measurements obtained with the available field monitoring data.
The influence of the permeability of the lining significantly affects the short- and long-term predictions
