Earth pressure balance is the most commonly used construction process for undergroundtunneling in soft ground, and related research has achieved rich results, but it is still difficult tocompletely avoid the disturbance of the ground, mainly due to the lack of effective monitoring data. Inorder to analyse the deformation patterns of the ground surface, the inner strata and the adjacent buildingscaused by the earth pressure balance shield construction, on⁃site monitoring and analysis were carried outbased on Line 4 of Jinan Metro for the settlement of the ground surface, the vertical and horizontaldeformation of the inner strata, and at the same time, monitoring and recording the settlement anddeformation of the buildings along the line. The results show that during the construction of Jinan MetroLine 4, the maximum ground settlement above the tunnel ranges from 5 to 120mm,with most of themranging from 20 to 60mm, and most of the surface settlement monitoring data can be fitted with Gaussianfunctions. The settlement channel width parameter i ranged from 0.4Z to 0.6Z for the tunnel constructionin the clay layer, and was less than 0.4Z for the tunnel construction in the sand layer. In the section withhigh soil compartment forces, the soil below the centre of the tunnel was deformed in the direction awayfrom the tunnel. However, for the soils above the centre of the tunnel, all show deformation towards thetunnel.
