In the construction of urban subway, the control of surface settlement has become the key and difficult point in the construction. As a common method in subway tunnel construction, PBA method has been widely used in many areas in China. This method performs well in settlement control. In addition, the supporting system of piles, beams, and arches formed during the construction process of this method effectively avoids the impact of the open-cut method on urban traffic. Therefore, this paper will combine the engineering conditions and the existing research results to simulate the various construction stages of the subway interval excavation in the loess area by establishing a Midas model. Combined with the results of numerical simulation, four increasing stages of surface settlement and corresponding settlement ratios are obtained, and the characteristics of surface settlement troughs are analyzed. This research is helpful to further understand the increasing law of ground settlement during the construction of metro interval in loess area.
