	Summary:
	The design of urban tunnels, often constructed at shallow depths, in soft ground, requires an appropriate prediction of ground surface settlements. Control of surface settlements is of particular importance in open-face tunneling. This paper presents a finite element analysis of subsidence above conventionally constructed Steinhaldenfeld tunnel in Stuttgart, Germany. The surface settlement profiles obtained by calculations were compared with the empirical Gaussian curve and the profile obtained by measurements.
