Notes:
A series of finite element analyses were performed to study the behaviour of a system of two parallel and adjacent tunnels. Various sequences of excavation of the two tunnels and installation of tunnel liners have been simulated in the analyses. Influence of various parameters on the behaviour of the two parallel tunnels has been investigated. The important parameters considered in this study are: the width of the pillar separating the two tunnels; the tunnel depth; support condition; sequence of excavation; and, to some extent, the influence of plastic yielding in the medium surrounding the two tunnels.
