Abstract
In the last many decades, replying to the urgent needs for the infrastructure construction, shield tunneling has been conducted widely in urban areas. Although the technique has been advanced recently owing to the accumulation of practical experiences and the progress of mechanization, there still remains many unknown problems especially in soft ground tunneling. For tunneling, one must always consider not only the stability of a tunnel itself but also the surface settlement due to deformations of soil around the tunnel. Although the patterns of the surface settlements differ for different soil conditions and methods of tunneling, many field observations and model tests show that the troughs of surface settlement can be approximated by the error functions or Gaussian normal distribution curves. This article concentrates on analyzing passive failure and deformation mechanisms of the soil in front of tunnel face due to tunneling.
