A new multi-parallel condition assessment scale for estimating tunnel-induced damage

Laefer, Debra F. ; Conry, B. ; Murphy, D. ; Ceribasi, Seyit (2008-06)

Traditional means to predict tunnel-induced damage for large groups of potentially affected above ground structures has generally focused on creating a settlement trough and estimating subsequent building response limited ...
Predicted tunnel-induced settlement and damage to Findlaters church with respect to freefield and constructed side considerations

Murphy, J. ; Gaynor, S. ; Laefer, Debra F. (2010-02)

Dublin, Ireland is scheduled to constructing its first metro in 2010, with a pair of tunnels connecting the city center to the airport. This study presents first-order predictions of the anticipated soil settlement and ...
Predicting reinforced concrete frame response to excavation induced settlement

Laefer, Debra F. ; Ceribasi, Seyit ; Long, James H. ; Cording, Edward J. (American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE), 2009-11)

In many tunneling and excavation projects, free-field vertical ground movements have been used to predict subsidence and empirical limits have been employed to evaluate risk. Validity of such approaches given the reality ...
