Features: This book is an academic monograph that discusses a series of environmental and safety issues related to geotechnical hazards near urban construction projects caused by various underground engineering and soft soil tunneling activities. It focuses on environmental maintenance and safety concerns, including the prediction and control of construction deformation. The book summarizes the research findings and systematic efforts of the authors over nearly 20 years in the field of environmental geotechnics, involving scientific research, design, and construction of major underground engineering projects such as subway stations, high-rise buildings, cable-stayed bridge anchoring structures, deep foundation pits, shield tunneling subway sections (including overlapping tunnels), large-diameter top-holing, pile foundations, and caisson projects in Shanghai and other cities. It also addresses the mutual influence of adjacent construction projects. The book emphasizes and explores various aspects, including the mechanics and behavior of disturbed soil in underground and tunnel engineering, artificial intelligence methods for predicting and controlling deformation in deep foundation pits and shield tunnels, as well as multimedia video monitoring technology for shield tunneling construction. Some of the content and research methods discussed in the book are rare in terms of research breadth and depth both domestically and internationally, showcasing considerable creativity. It is believed to contribute to both theoretical and practical advancements in environmental geotechnics for urban engineering activities in China. This book serves as a reference for design, construction, and scientific research personnel engaged in urban civil engineering projects, as well as for university students and faculty in related fields for study and reference.
