Abstract: Tunnelling-induced safety risks from adjacent piles have become increasingly severe with the rapid development of urban underground space. Model tests have become essential for revealing the complex pile-tunnel interaction mechanism. This paper reviews the research progress of model tests on the influence of single-line tunnelling on adjacent piles, focusing on test soil materials, tunnel simulation methodologies, analysis of test results, and research prospects. However, current model test studies are constrained by several critical limitations, including insufficient similarity between soil materials and prototype conditions, and overly idealized simulation of tunnel excavation. This paper identifies a significant research gap: the inability of current volume-loss techniques to capture 3D dynamic factors (e.g., face pressure and grouting timing) and the lack of meso-scale observation at the pile-soil interface. This review provides a systematic synthesis of these methodological challenges and proposes future research prospects to provide a more scientific basis for engineering design and risk control.
