Therefore, accurately assessing the impact of shield tunneling on bridges and buildings is crucial. This study presents a comprehensive prediction method combining numerical simulation and empirical formulas, taking the underpass project of the Shijiazhuang\u2013Wuhan High-Speed Railway Bridge by Zhengzhou Metro Line 5 as a case study. Three-dimensional numerical model calculations were performed using finite element software to analyze the displacement and stress changes of buildings and tunnel structures at different construction stages, revealing the deformation patterns of buildings adjacent to the tunnel during shield tunneling. In particular, the ground settlement caused by twin-tunnel excavation was compared with Peck\u2019s empirical formula to verify the reliability of the numerical simulation. The results show that twin-tunnel excavation exacerbates the horizontal displacement, uplift, and settlement of the ground, with maximum deformation rates increasing by 7.10%, 20%, and 11.4%, respectively. Comparing the ground deformation results of Peck\u2019s empirical formulas with numerical calculations revealed similar trends in the settlement curves, with a maximum deviation of 6.67%. It can be concluded that using Peck\u2019s empirical formula to calculate ground deformation characteristics complements the limitations of numerical simulations, making the assessment results more reliable. The findings of this study demonstrate that integrating numerical simulation with empirical formulas significantly enhances the reliability of deformation predictions in complex tunneling scenarios. This research not only offers a comprehensive safety assessment method for shield tunneling construction but also provides valuable guidance for the design and construction of similar projects, serving as a theoretical reference for future engineering endeavors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym16091113","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]],"date-time":"2024-08-27T09:26:51Z","timestamp":1724750811000},"page":"1113","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Evaluation Method of the Impact of Twin Shield Tunneling Construction on Elevated Bridges: Case Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Junzhou","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Hubei Engineering University, Xiaogan 432000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-1392-6010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jizhixian","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Hubei Engineering University, Xiaogan 432000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhan Municipal Engineering Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd., Wuhan 430023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Railway Siyuan Survey and Design Group Co., Ltd., Wuhan 430063, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yani","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Hubei Engineering University, Xiaogan 432000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Hubei Engineering University, Xiaogan 432000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7959-6027","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cai","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Hubei Engineering University, Xiaogan 432000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"468","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tust.2018.08.059","article-title":"Deformation and stress characteristics of existing twin tunnels induced by close-distance EPBS under-crossing","volume":"82","author":"Chen","year":"2018","journal-title":"Tunn.
