ABSTRACT
This General Report presents an overview of the papers featured at the Symposium in the session “Smart Monitoring and Visualization Technologies for Tunnelling and Underground Construction.” Three papers in this session cover various aspects, including case studies on international projects involving tunnelling and deep excavations, with a focus on monitoring and data interpretation. Additionally, two papers delve into technology advancements in underground construction applications, such as the development of FBG pore water pressure sensors and the utilisation of IoT monitoring systems in geotechnical engineering. The effects of tunnel excavation processes, such as the penetration of foam into saturated sand and the behaviour of loess under cutting tools, are investigated in two papers in this session. Furthermore, the session includes contributions on site ground characterization and interpolation of geotechnical properties. A noteworthy inclusion is a paper presenting advancements in hybrid centrifuge and numerical modelling for addressing soil-structure interaction problems within the geotechnical centrifuge.
