The influences of geological condition, construction management, quality, and working guideline on ground improvement and the impact of construction management on shield tunnel excavation are investigated through unconfined compression strength and P-wave velocity of samples from the laboratory and in-situ. The investigating results indicate that the strength of ground improvement in Kaohsiung is high. The ground improvement mixed design should be a vital factor for ground improvement. In addition, strength of the improved soil is not the sole factor for the quality requirement. The water conductivity is another important factor. More, geologic condition and ground improvement are two important factors for the design of thrust force and torque of the shield machine. The experts should operate shield machine when it passes through the improved ground.}, publisher = {Society for Social Management Systems}, title = {Influence of Ground Improvement and Construction Management on Shield Tunnel Excavation : a Case Study of Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit System}, volume = {5}, year = {2009} }
