Abstract
Tunnel of Tabriz urban railway line2 (TURL2) will pass an underground market on its way. Short distance between tunnel crown and underground market foundation will probably cause collapses or excessive settlements during tunnel construction based on conducted investigations into geotechnical conditions of the region. Using finite element method, the quantity of underground market foundation settlement is estimated in this paper. Then, considering allowable settlement concluded from risk analysis and acceptable risk level, some measures are suggested for settlement reduction. The results show that in order to lessen volume loss, underground market settlement can be controlled using grouting methods and simultaneously special measures.
