Abstract This study investigates the behaviour of bored tunnels in the Port-Said very soft to firm clay deposit in El-Tina Plain, north-eastern Egypt. Recent studies provided full characterization of the physical, mechanical and time-dependent properties of Port-Said Clay. This characterization enabled simulating its constitutive behaviour using the stress-dependent Modified Cam Clay model. The finite difference method is utilized to simulate the interaction between the tunnel and Port-Said Clay. The results are presented in terms of the pore water pressure regime, shear strain level, ground surface settlement and tunnel lining bending moment. The results show significant effect of the face and grouting pressures on the tunnel’s short and long-term behaviours. The term “reference hydrostatic pressure” is introduced to evaluate short-term face stability as a more practical and easy-to-quantify parameter compared to the conventional stability number. New empirical equations are developed to describe the long-term surface settlement trough (maximum settlement and trough width) in terms of the grouting pressure and tunnel diameter for tunnels in similar soft clay deposits.
