Secondly, the influence of the radius, height, angle, vertical net distance, and horizontal distance of the karst cave on the maximum surface settlement is studied and sorted under the two working conditions of treatment and untreated using the grey correlation analysis method. Additionally, a multi-factor numerical model of the untreated karst cave is established. Finally, based on the preceding research, a multi-factor prediction model for the maximum surface settlement is proposed and tested. The results reveal that when the karst cave is not treated, the radius and height of the karst cave have a significant effect on the maximum surface settlement. After the cave treatment, the influence of the cave parameters on the maximum settlement of the surface is greatly reduced. The calculating modelcreated in this study offers excellent prediction accuracy and good adaptability.}, type={Article}, title={Analysis of the influence of karst cave parameters on surface settlement in TBM tunnelling}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/130748/PDF-MASTER/BPASTS-04099-EA.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpasts.2024.150110}, keywords={karst cave, TBM tunnelling, surface subsidence, grey correlation analysis, MIDAS}, }
