Implication

Numerical simulations uncover the impact of soil type and tunnel design on settlement behavior in shallow tunnels, suggesting improvements for geotechnical practice.

Key Points

Settlement behavior of shallow tunnels is influenced by factors like stress magnitude and rock type, which vary settlement patterns.
Results indicate that hard rock exhibits less settlement than soft rock types, and soil types affect deformation during tunnel construction.
Numerical simulations using Plaxis 2D provide a framework for assessing tunnel settlement under various conditions.
The findings highlight the importance of selecting appropriate tunnel structures to enhance safety and stability in underground constructions.
