Effect of surface loading on the hydro-mechanical response of a tunnel in saturated ground

The design of underground spaces in urban areas must account not only for the current overburden load but also for future surface loads, such as from construction of high-rise buildings above underground structures. In saturated ground, the surface load will generate an additional mechanical respons...
