    Abstract: Shallow tunnels are often subject to settlement, which can compromise the performance and safety of underground structures. This is especially relevant for developing cities that need to construct tunnels for transportation infrastructure projects. This study examines the settlement behavior of shallow tunnels through numerical simulations using th... Show More
