  Abstract

  This study utilizes ABAQUS finite element software to analyze embankment deformation during shield tunneling. Results reveal that shield tunneling effects are manageable.The left tunnel line successfully tunnels beneath the embankment, causing a maximum settlement of 8.7 mm, meeting regulations. The ground surface exhibits a "V"-shaped lateral settlement trough, approximately five times the tunnel centerline width. Conversely, the right tunnel line induces a more extensive impact, with a 12.2 mm maximum settlement.Different lateral settlement patterns emerge in soil at varying depths. The left tunnel creates a "V" shape, with slightly increasing settlement above the tunnel axis as depth increases, accompanied by narrower troughs. The right tunnel line results in a pronounced "W" shape, especially at the grouting layer depth.Horizontal displacement forms an "S" shape, with maximum displacement at positions ±i from the tunnel axis. The right tunnel line induces greater maximum horizontal displacement than the left.In summary, this numerical analysis provides insights into embankment deformation during shield tunneling, aiding in assessing the impact and guiding safe tunneling beneath embankments.
