In recent years, the road network construction sector in China has witnessed remarkable progress. A large number of projects, including highway tunnels, railway tunnels, and subways, have been successfully launched. Nevertheless, given the complexity of geological conditions and construction conditions, the issues and uncertainties encountered during tunnel construction are often more diverse, thereby escalating the difficulty and the cost of risk management. This paper comprehensively reviews the methods for risk management during the construction phase of shield tunnels as reported in the relevant literature. Conducting a brief analysis of the applicable scope of different methods. The findings indicate that the Work Breakdown Structure - Risk Breakdown Structure (WBS-RBS) method, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and the Fuzzy comprehensive Evaluation(FCE) are among the most widely employed techniques for risk evolution. Moreover, the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principle serves as the fundamental and precise guideline for risk management. Finally, it analyzes the remaining problems of the risk management method system and puts forward potential future research directions.
