Abstract: The existing tunnel structure, the new underpass tunnel structure and the rock strata in the area of influence of the crossover tunnel are interacting systems that are affected by various factors, such as dynamic and static excavation loads and dynamic and static train loads. The existing theoretical models for the deformation prediction of existing tunnels lack the synergistic analysis of dynamic and static loads on both existing and new tunnels. Based on the theory of the current layer method and Peck’s empirical formula, this paper considers the stiffness of existing tunnels, the stiffness of new tunnels, the loads of excavation methods and the loads of existing tunnels. The results show that a theoretical model for the prediction of the deformation of double-lane highway tunnels underneath existing railroad tunnels with the coupling of the current layer method and Peck under multiple factors is constructed; a modified Peck settlement formula for the base plate of the existing tunnels is put forward; and, through numerical calculations and monitoring data for validation and optimization, it is proved that the theoretical model is applicable to the excavation of tunnels underneath mountainous areas mined by the blasting method.
