Abstract: Gaussian equation suggested by professor Peck in 1969 is one of the most popular-used methods to predict the soft ground movement induced by shallow tunneling work. The application of this method in China should be carefully verified and evaluated since it was suggested based on case history studies. Because of the lack of the well-compiled measured data in China, there is no clear conclusion on the adaptability of the Gaussian equation to predict the ground movement induced by the metro tunneling until now. Based on the collection of the published case history analysis, including more than 30 sets of measured data from eight areas in China, the accuracy of the Gaussian equation applied to predict the ground settlement is discussed and evaluated in detail. some typical key parameters are also suggested to the designers.

Key words: tunnel, metro, ground settlement, settlement prediction, settlement trough
