ABSTRACT
Both these research paths are combined in this paper that presents results of research on the influence of grout and bentonite flow around the TBM on the settlement through. A simple calculation model (Bezuijen, 2009) is implemented in a 3-D FEM program (Nagel, 2009) and the results of the calculation model itself are compared with the results of the numerical program. This allows investigating where the interaction between the models becomes important.
