We obtained the curved surfaces of ground surface subsidence and strata consolidation subsidence. The results show that the quantity of ground surface subsidence is 31 mm for the non-dewatering method, 39 mm for the dynamic dewatering method, and 105 mm for the dewatering method. Their ratio is 1:1.3:3.4; and the percentages of strata consolidation subsidence to whole ground surface subsidence of each construction method is 27% (no-dewatering), 50% (dynamic dewatering), and 79% (dewatering). It is obvious that the non-dewatering construction method is the most effective method to control the strata consolidation subsidence induced by metro tunneling in saturated soft clay strata, and it has been successfully applied to the construction of the Shenzben metro line 1.展开更多
