Abstract: Based on the bidsection of Binhai mass transit from Tianjin station to Qijing road station, 3DFEM was put forward to simulate shield tunneling long distance under multitracks of railway. According to the simulation results, settlement of ground surface along and perpendicular to the shield tunnel were analyzed. The disturbance area of ground and the settlement ratio dedicated by first tunnel and second tunnel were studied. The ground settlements caused by tunneling in different conditions were simulated and studied. The simulation results which fit well with monitoring data show that the maximum settlement of ground is between 18 mm and 20 mm. The influence of grouting amount is more significant than that of grouting pressure and soil pressure.

Key words: shield tunneling, railway track, ground settlement, tunneling parameters, numerical modeling
