Abstract:The Yindu Road Tunnel in Shanghai will cross Huangpu River during the implementation process, which may lead to the surface settlement of flood control walls on both sides of the Huangpu River. The 2D finite element model of the software Plaxis is used to simulate the process of the shield tunneling through Huangpu River, which predicts the impact of tunnel crossing Huangpu River on the flood control walls on both banks. And the relevant suggestions are put forward in order to provide the reference for the similar projects.
