Abstract: The construction process of a shield tunnel near-underpassing highway bridge piles involves critical challenges in ensuring the structural safety and deformation control of the bridge piles. This paper systematically investigates the impact of shield tunnel construction on highway bridge piles using finite element numerical simulation. A three-dimensional finite element model, including the tunnel, bridge piles, and surrounding soil, was established to simulate the stress and deformation effects on the bridge piles during shield machine excavation. The results indicate that shield tunnel construction causes significant displacement field changes in the soil around the bridge piles, affecting their stress distribution and deformation behavior. Particularly on the side of the piles closer to the tunnel, both vertical and horizontal displacements increase substantially, and the maximum stress also significantly rises.
