In this study, centrifuge model tests and numerical analyses were conducted to investigate the deformation mechanisms of an existing tunnel due to normal faulting in sand. With the presence of a tunnel in sand stratum, normal faulting-induced ground surface settlements above the existing tunnel were significantly reduced (i.e., shielding effects). These shielding effects provide by the existing tunnel were decreased with the tunnel burial depth. When a kinematically constrained boundary condition was applied in the tunnel, the induced longitudinal strains at the tunnel crown were much larger than those observed in a tunnel with a free boundary condition.
