Large section tunnel in-situ expansion excavation is prone to induce ground settlement, posing a threat to the service safety of surrounding structures. However, the settlement evolution of the overlying strata during tunnel expansion excavation are not yet clear. A method combining theoretical analysis, physical model testing, and engineering practice was adopted to investigate the settlement evolution of the overlying strata during expansion excavation of tunnels. A theoretical model for tunnel expansion excavation settlement was established. The research findings indicate that the settlement of the overlying strata above the tunnel exhibits a sudden increase characteristic, with the expansion excavation settlement zone showing a parabolic distribution, which is primarily related to the cohesive force of the rock mass and its brittle fracture characteristics. The strata settlement shows a nonlinear increasing relationship with the distance from the tunnel, mainly influenced by the non-uniform attenuation of excavation unloading disturbance. The theoretical model curves can reflect the settlement evolution consistent with the physical model tests, with an average deviation of 4.8% between the experimental and theoretical values. Considering the influence of the correction coefficient α for tunnel support on the measured engineering values, the model with α=0.7 and α=0.4 can better predict the range of surface settlement after tunnel expansion excavation and support. The research results provide a theoretical method for calculating strata settlement during tunnel in-situ expansion excavation.
