ABSTRACT

The present paper is focused on the assessment of ground surface settlements induced by a Microtunneling construction located in Pikrodafneza stream, part of Eshatia stream settlement project. In order to conduct the study, both semi-empirical and numerical method have been employed followed by measurements in-situ. Semi-empirical method has been settled as a preliminary analysis followed by FE models examining two soil conditions, whilst systematic measurements’ acquisition was employed during construction. The results are deduced in terms of ground surface settlements and evaluation of the geotechnical conditions.
