Abstract
Metro line 3 in Hanoi is being constructed using tunnels, which may affect nearby constructions. In addition, Hanoi’s earthquakes also pose risks to this Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) line. This paper studies the impact of TBM construction on the surrounding houses along the line, as well as the impact of earthquakes on this line. A 3D numerical model was developed to simulate the static and dynamic behavior of TBM at station 9 in Metro Line 3. The results show that the maximum settlement at the ground surface under seismic load is significantly reduced from 4.6 mm to 0.1 mm when using the jet grouting method.
