Analysis investigates tunnel and pile foundation interactions under elevated bridges, suggesting safety improvements.

The study aims to understand how different shield tunneling methods affect tunnel structures and pile foundations beneath elevated bridges.
Field monitoring data collected for site validation
Development of a numerical model using FLAC3D
Examination of three tunneling schemes affecting pile foundations
Scheme 1 showed longitudinal deformation of the pile, with a notable S-shaped profile for vertical deformation.
In Scheme 2, vertical and longitudinal deformations increased significantly, with maximum surface settlement above the pile.
Scheme 3 achieved reduced vertical deformation and surface settlement compared to Scheme 2, maintaining stability.

Liu et al. (2026) studied this question.
