Resumen

Basement excavation may induce deformations of the adjacent tunnels. The response of existing tunnels to basement excavation considering the critical unloading ratio is rarely studied. In this study, a three-dimensional numerical model is established to investigate basement?tunnel interaction. Then, the numerical model is validated by simulating the centrifuge model test. Thereafter, the influences of basement geometry and tunnel location relative to the basement on the vertical deformation of the tunnel are studied. The results show that the vertical deformation of the tunnel increases linearly with the unloading ratio, which describes the degree of excavation depth above the tunnel. But there exists a critical unloading ratio of 0.6, beyond which the vertical deformation of the tunnel increases significantly. On this basis, an empirical model is proposed to predict the vertical deformation of the tunnel considering the unloading ratio.
