Research on tunnel excavation has rarely considered the effect of the tunnel excavation on a complete building. Therefore, this paper considered a building with a double basement and piles, and a three-dimensional finite-element model for shield tunnels undercrossing an existing building was established to study the effects of the excavation of double-shield tunnels on the displacement and internal forces of soil, segments, piles, and buildings. Grouting reinforcement technology was used in the model to analyze the effect of grouting reinforcement on pile displacement and building subsidence. The results showed that for every 100 kPa increase in grouting pressure, the maximum subsidence of the soil was reduced by 3.512 mm. The successive excavation of double-shield tunnels resulted in elliptical segments. The longitudinal and transverse stresses of the segments were effectively reduced by grouting pressure of 250 kPa. The excavation of tunnels had an obvious nonlinear effect on the maximum lateral displacement of the piles along the direction of excavation and the maximum subsidence of the building. When using deep-hole grouting reinforcement, the maximum lateral displacement of piles and the maximum subsidence of the building were effectively reduced by increasing the radial grouting reinforcement radius and adjusting the reinforcement range.
