Taking the excavation of double⁃line shield tunnels undercrossing existing double⁃line tunnelsin soft soil layer as the research subject, this study establishes a three⁃dimensional finite element model ofshield tunneling undercrossing existing tunnels using PLAXIS 3D software, analyzing the influence ofshield tunneling on the vertical displacement of surrounding soil and the existing double⁃line tunnels. Theresearch results show that the excavation of the new shield tunnels causes significant disturbance to thesurrounding soil, thereby affecting the existing double⁃line tunnels. During the excavation of the newshield tunnels, upheaval occurs at the tunnel invert while settlement occurs at the tunnel crown. As thedepth increases, the vertical displacement curves of both the soil at the cross⁃section along the centerlineof the existing double⁃line tunnels and the existing right⁃line tunnel gradually transition from a V⁃shape toa W⁃shape.
