Abstract
When tunneling in cities with soft soil conditions, it can lead to unexpected impacts on existing buildings on the surface. Buildings locating on influence zones induced by tunneling might be damaged in the case of no mitigating method applied. The scope of the influenced zone when tunneling is represented in this paper in association with a review on recent soil improvement methods for reducing the effects of tunneling. Possible mitigating solutions applied in tunneling design and construction processes are discussed, including improving surrounding soil and/or compensating settlements, as well as protecting existing building solutions. A soil improvement application with jet grouting technique in a recent tunneling project in Hochiminh city for reducing effects of tunneling on surround buildings and the tunneling process is also analyzed.
