Risk of damage to a piled building was assessed
using method by Mair et al (1996) The method
categorises the damage according to the tensile
strain computed at the building
-
1) Pile response cannot be computed and unknown Only overall building damage can be assessed
2) The method was derived for building supported on shallow foundation
-
Tham &
Deutscher (2000)
Empirical method for calculating greenfield soil
movement was translated into pile settlement and
pile stresses according to some assumptions
made through observations in centrifuge tests
and field study
-
1) Simple & less time consuming
2) Can be used for pile with its base within zone of influence
3) Only pile axial response particularly settlement can be assessed
At small volume loss, end bearing pile settles equally to greenfield settlement at pile base Friction pile settles equally to Greenfield surface settlement
Jacobsz et
al (2005)
1) Bearing capacity was checked via the
comparison of pile base moment with resistance
moment due to face pressure from shield
machine
2) Bearing capacity was checked via the
comparison of reaction force at pile base with
grouting or face pressure in tail void
-
1) Simple hand calculation
2) Only pile bearing capacity can
be assessed
3) Can be used for pile with its base above tunnel
-
Nakajima
et al
(1992) Empirical
Bearing capacity of pile during the shield
advancement was investigated through
assumption of an imaginative cone around pile
base and compared to the face pressure from
shield machine
-
1) Simple hand calculation to determine the need for mitigation work at pile base
2) Can be used for pile with its base above tunnel

Trang 4Table 2.3 Summary of reported prediction and design methods (continue)
Method Descriptions Soil model Advantages / disadvantages Pertinent findings Reference
FE analysis was used to compute pile
settlement A row of piles was modelled as a
sheet pile wall with reduced properties
Mohr-Coulomb (Drained)
1) Less time consuming
2) Accuracy of pile properties reduction method adopted is unknown
Pile settlement followed the settlement of bearing layer where the pile base was founded
Vermeer &
Bonnier (1991) 2-D finite
element FE analysis was used to predict the piles
lateral deflections at Angel Underground
Development Piles were not modelled and
assumed to deform with soil
Linear elastic (Undrained)
1) Less time consuming
2) Pile stiffness was not considered
3) Soil model used is too simple
Pile lateral deflection was well predicted and provided an upper bound value compared to measured data
Lee et al
(1994)
A 3-D model to simulate shield tunnel
advancement on adjacent single pile and 2x2
pile group Pile-soil-tunnel interaction was
taken into account No physical data was
back-analysed to verify the model’s reliability
Mohr Coulomb (Drained)
1) More time consuming compared to 2-D analysis
2) Unified approach towards the study of pile axial and bending responses
Significant axial force and lateral deflection were induced in pile particularly when the pile base was below tunnel invert Positive pile group effect was observed
Mroueh &
Shahrour (2002)
A 3-D model to simulate open face tunnel
advancement on adjacent single pile
Centrifuge test results from Loganathan
(1999) was compared
Drucker-Prager (Consolidation)
1) More time consuming
2) Unified approach
3) The simulation not represent any type of tunnelling system
FOS in pile was reduced significantly from 3.0 to 1.5 Axial force and BM were not significant Transverse BM was three times longitudinal BM
Lee & Ng (2005)
3-D finite
element
A 3-D model to simulate plane strain tunnel
adjacent to single pile Parametric studies were
carried out The data from MRT NEL C704
was also briefly back-analysed
Non-linear elastic (Undrained)
1) Tunnel advancement was not simulated
2) Unified approach
BM in pile is negligible when
Xpile/Dtun>2 Cracking moment exceeded when Xpile/Dtun<1 Axial force depends
on VL, soil stiffness & pile base position
Cheng et
al (2004)
Trang 5Method Descriptions Soil model Advantages / disadvantages Pertinent findings Reference
A two-stage approach where greenfield soil
movement computed from 2-D FE was
imposed on pile in soil-spring model Design
charts were prepared
Linear elastic 1) Less time consuming
2) No pile-soil-tunnel interaction
Max BM was found near pile cap level and relatively low BM near tunnel springline
Broms &
Pandey (1987)
A two-stage approach where the greenfield
soil movements computed from analytical
solution were imposed on pile in boundary
element analyses
Linear elastic
1) Less time consuming
2) No pile-soil-tunnel interaction
3) Pile lateral and axial responses were computed separately
The pile responses were influenced significantly by tunnel-pile geometry, volume loss, soil stiffness and strength
Long and short piles responded differently
Chen et al
(1999)
A two-stage approach where the greenfield
soil movements computed from 3-D FE were
imposed on pile in boundary element analyses
Linear elastic
1) Less time consuming Only one 3-D FE analysis required
2) No pile-soil-tunnel interaction
The approach used is exactly the same
as Chen et al (1999) except 3-D FE was used to compute greenfield soil movement instead of analytical method
Surjadinata et
al (2005)
A two-stage approach where the greenfield
soil movement computed from analytical
solution was imposed on pile in soil-spring
model The approach used is similar to Broms
& Pandey (1987)
Non linear hyperbolic
1) Only pile bending moment can
be computed
2) More rigorous hyperbolic non linear soil model
3) Allow only single pile analysis
If Lp < Htun-R, BM in single curvature
If Htun-R < Lp < Htun+R, BM in double curvature
If Lp > Htun+R, BM in triple curvature
[R = pile radius]
Sawatparnich
& Kulhawy (2004)
Numerical
and
analytical
A program called PRAB developed to analyse
single pile, pile group and pile raft due to
tunnelling The approach used is similar to
Loganathan et al (2001)
Linear elastic
1) Less time consuming
2) No pile-soil-tunnel interaction 3) Unified approach
Single pile analysis can be used to represent piles in a group for BM, lateral deflection and settlement only
Hence, no pile group effect
Kitiyodom et
al (2004), Matsumoto et
al (2005) Design
charts
Design charts were developed from parametric
studies carried out using the two-stage
approach as described in Chen et al (1999)
Linear elastic
1) Only hand calculation required
2) Allow only single pile analysis
2) Limited to some assumptions
Tunnelling induced BM, lateral deflection, settlement and axial forces can be computed

(1999), Chen
et al (2000)
