Involving several areas of geological engineering, geotechnical
engineering and tunnel engineering, this book describes the soft soil
deformation characteristics and dynamic responses induced by subway
vibration load. Based on field monitoring and laboratory testing data,
with both comprehensive micro-and macroanalysis, the authors present
dynamic characteristics and deformation settlement of saturated soft
clay surrounding subway tunnels using dynamic and static methodology.
Mechanism of deformation, failure in microstructure of soft clay soil,
dynamic response, macro deformation and settlement are all discussed and
analyzed thoroughly and systematically. Some of the research findings in
this book have been widely applied by large subway companies and will
have broader application prospects in future. All the above make this
book a valuable reference not only for technical engineers working in
subway design or construction but also for advanced graduate students.
