The construction of underground project or the underground tunnel will influence the subsiding of adjacent building on the earth surface. One urban underground tunnel is adjacent to a high-rise building called Shuijingchengbao. By using three methods that are qualitative analysis of engineering geologic

experience analogism of adjacent similar engineering constructions and 3D finite element method (FEM)

the interaction and influence between the tunnel and the adjacent structure was synthetically analyzed and evaluated. The result indicates that the structure’s building has neglectable disturbance to the displacement and stress of underground tunnel

the maximal vertical displacement of tunnel roof is only 1.15mm and the change of plastic zone is tiny. Hence

it can be justified that the building of the engineering is unlikely to influence the safety and stability of surrounding rock of the tunnel without abnormality construction and exceptional engineering-geology. It can offer a theoretical reference to the construction of the underground engineering.
