Abstract The fact of large-diameter slurry shield construction related to problems of high ground losses (causedby low cutting face pressures and high grouting pressures) is not sufficiently considered in transverse settlement trough theory. Therefore, a modified formula for the GAP parameter is proposed. Using the construction of the Chengjiang west road river-crossing tunnel in Jiangyin City as an example, a modified GAP parameter was incorporated into the modified Peck formula and the analytical solution based on the Sagseta theory in order to study the influence of large-diameter slurry shield construction on soft soil. It was verified that due to the equivalent ground losses caused by factors such as construction quality, under-pressure of the cutting face, and and high grouting pressures, calculated settlements are larger, but are more consistent with the measured data and more reasonable theoretically.
