Short summary
The possible settling of the land surface has been calculated for the area near the tunnel due to the soil compaction upon the water drawdown. The calculation is based on the principle of linear deformability of soils and on the Terzaghi law about the stresses of two kinds in a ground massif. The results obtained prove that the settlement values will not exceed the critical values adopted by standard regulatory documents. Monitoring and permanent drainage should ensure safe operation of tunnel.
