Abstract

Construction of tunnels often causes uneven settlement of the above buildings, resulting in engineering accident such as the skew or even collapse of buildings. Assuming that the vertical displacement distribution mode of buildings is built, then the variational control equation is established. A calculation method of building settlement caused by construction of double line parallel tunnels based on variation method is put forward. Through two engineering examples, it is concluded that the building settlement curve calculated by this method is in agreement with the measured value, which verifies this method.
