Hi,

I am looking for any academic papers, engineering guidelines for the required separation between two parallel running tubes. Like its relationship to tunnels' diameter, geological properties etc.

Your help appreciated!

Regards,

Heiko

@Heiko, This article is a good read on the subject. I am sure there are many other articles too:
Determining the minimum distance between centers of two parallel tunnels to apply the Law of Super Position in order to calculate subsidence by using the software FLAC 3D

It's takes Isfahan metro in Iran as the case study.
regards.
