Calculating tunnel settlement and building damage

Dive into the fascinating world of tunneling and its effects on the ground and surrounding structures in our latest educational video. Whether it's through a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) or traditional mining techniques, tunneling activities invariably lead to volume loss beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in ground settlement and movement toward the tunnel. This phenomenon can have significant implications for the stability and safety of nearby buildings and infrastructure.

In this comprehensive guide, we explore the fundamental principles of tunneling equations and demonstrate how they can be applied to predict and assess ground movement. Utilizing the Burland approach, a renowned method for building damage assessment, we provide insights into how engineers and construction professionals calculate the potential impact of tunneling activities on surrounding structures.
Whether you're a civil engineering student, a professional in the construction industry, or simply fascinated by the mechanics of underground construction, this video offers valuable knowledge on mitigating the risks associated with tunneling projects.

Nice video sir

[@blessedson4775]

I am currently working on a thesis project where I am predicting the settlement caused by a large diameter microtunnel. I find your damage assessment tool interesting and I will try it out.

Hello sir, Nice to meet you, I want to know about the building settlement, By building settlement you mean the buildings near under-constructed tunnels?
