Bhosale, Structural Consultant, Pune. ---------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract The advancement in underground construction and use of Tunnel boring machine for construction is deeply studied. The construction of underground tunnel in ground involves potential risk of damage to old age structure and may lead to collapse of structure or tunnel. Thus it is very important to predict the surface settlement before construction to minimize risk of collapse. Numerical modelling by FEM analysis of a building in Pune is studied and settlement of building is compared with in-situ settlement. This also includes the numerical modelling of...
