Abstract
More excavation projects are arising near existing buildings and structures due to large-scale urban construction, in which the excavation unavoidably brings settlement influence and potential safety danger to surrounding construction and buildings. Settlement profile vertical to the excavation edge is a widely discussed topic. But for linear traffic facilities parallel to the excavation, settlement profile parallel to excavation, namely, settlement along the traffic line, should also be considered. Besides, the precise control of differential settlement along the traffic line also plays very important role. Thus, it is necessary to establish a quick prediction model, which is able to consider both vertical and parallel settlement profile, on the basis of basic information of excavation. A simplified method for predicting ground settlement along railway induced by excavation is proposed. According to characteristics of settlement profile, Rayleigh and Gauss distribution functions are adopted to calculate settlement distribution. Settlement modified parameters are introduced through three-dimensional perspective. A comparison between calculated results and monitoring data is given to verify the feasibility of proposed method. Good agreement of comparison indicates proposed method can be employed to predict settlement along railways due to adjacent excavation.
