Abstract

Due to the rapid development of urbanization and the need for effective transportation, it became a common application to construct subway tunnels in modern cities. However, these construction activities may lead to undesirable deformations on the adjacent buildings. In this study, the effect of tunnel horizontal distance on the deformations of an adjacent building is investigated using 2D finite element analysis. The results of the finite element analysis showed that, although high settlement values were not observed for the cases investigated in this study, the vertical deformations of the building decreased as the tunnel moved away from the building.
