Bored Tunneling for Singapore Metro

Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 1992
This paper describes the planning, layout, and implementation of the Singapore Metro mass‐transit system, emphasizing the criticality of the 22.4 km of bored tunneling required in the central area of the city. The original nine‐year construction schedule and the subsequent seven‐year accelerated program that was adopted are discussed, as are the extent

Seismic response of metro underground tunnels

International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 2016
Metro underground construction is a mass rapid transit system in all metropolitan cities throughout the world. It is very important to study how underground tunnels suffer damage during earthquakes so that human life could be protected and the service efficiency attained.

Waterproofing Solutions for Metro Tunnels

Sustainable Transportation Systems, 2012
Almost all underground structures suffer from water leakage problems. Traditional methods using injection for waterproofing in underground metro tunnels can only reduce large water leakages; they are not effective in preventing water from seeping into the tunnel.

Metro tunnelling in China

Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 1990
Abstract This article presents an overview of metro planning and construction in China. Details of site monitoring and construction of new sections for the Beijing metro, and of the Shanghai experimental metro tunnel construction are given. Experience shows that site monitoring is very important in urban metro tunnel construction for controlling ...

Tunneling-induced ground movements on Tehran Metro

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, 2012
Tunnels constructed in soft soils give rise to displacements in existing structures surrounding the tunnel. Results are presented for a study conducted to estimate ground movements induced by protracted construction of Line 7 on the Tehran Metro, and compare them with data acquired with use of empirical finite-difference methods on a 3D model.

Metro Tunnel Therapy

2018
The effective way to remedy the disease is to apply the medicine according to the diagnosis. For the metro tunnel, there is a smart self-healing method to treat the tunnel structure damages and an adaptive reinforcement method to solve the problem of tunnel structure performance deterioration. When the damages just occur, the self-healing method can be
