Abstract: This paper presents a closure to "Monitoring and Data Analyses of Pressure Changes and Ground Settlements Induced by Slurry TBM Tunneling in a Semiconfined Aquifer: Case Study in the Netherlands" by Tao Xu and Adam Bezuijen.https://doi.org/10 .1061/JGGEFK.GTENG-12434.We want to thank the discussers for carefully reading our article and making the effort to raise questions where our explanation was probably not clear enough or additional information was needed.According to the discussers, "As the grout pressure was consistently greater than the pore pressure, how can the authors state that 'for Gr5 and Gr6 28 the grout pressure was influenced by the water pressure, not vice versa"?To answer this question, we followed the suggestion of the discussers to replot some of the grout and pore-water pressures at the same scale as shown in Fig. 1.Indeed, the grout pressure GR2117s05 is always higher than the pore-water pressure.What we want to highlight is that the peak in
