The paper presents a 3D simulation procedure Keywords for the detailed description of TBM via the finite element code Abaqus Tunnel and quantifies the influence of TBM face pressure on ground surface Shield tunneling machines settlements. The model is used to calculate ground surface settlements for different values of TBM face pressure. An additional aspect of the Face pressure investigation is the determination of the critical value of TBM face Surface settlements. pressure which controls face instability in very weak ground. During the advancement of shield tunnel boring machines the face-stabilizing pressure is one of the most important factors of critical. In tunneling by shield tunnel boring machines high face pressure often leads to surface upheaval whereas low face pressure leads to sudden collapse of the face and ultimately settlement of the surface. For the model condition the maximum value was quantity 250 kPa and the minimum value obtained quantity 150 KPa. Copyright 2020 Hanoi University of Mining and Geology. All rights reserved.
