| Abstract | This study deals with the prediction of ground movements and building damage risk assessment due to tunneling. The developed program or Tunnel Analysis Program (TAP) is tunneling-induced ground movement analysis software developed by using analytical and empirical methods. TAP is composed of two modules. The first module deals with ground settlement analysis module and the rest one is building damage assessment module. Loganathan & Poulos (1998) method, Park (2004, 2005) methods are used in analytical solutions while Peck (1969) method, Mair et al. (1993) method and Clough & Schmidt (1981) method are used in empirical methods to estimate ground movement and building damage risk assessment. For ground settlement analysis module, five case studies of world tunnels presented by Loganathan & Poulos (1998) and four sections of MRT Blue Line Project are chosen. BLD-23-007-C-7 building in zone 23 and BLD-26-015-C-1 building in zone 26 are chosen for building damage assessment module. The developed software is easy-to-use graphical interface, requirement of easily available input data and efficient computational model. |
