Now the surface settlement induced by shallow buried tunnel to under-traverse highway, mostly adopt the em-pirical value, 3 cm, acquired from Beijing or Shenzhen metro, which is regarded as the controlling standard. But to more project, tunnel under-traverse highway, we must decide the controlling standard flexibly, which should base on the pavement service function and the pavement condition. The thesis, based on the pavement evenness and running comfort ability in the view of completing the pavement service function, supposes the longitudinal pavement settlement cross sec-tion as a quadratic parabola, and gets the maximal settlement value in the range of longitudinal pavement influence when the tunnel is under-traverse highway perpendicularly. Then the controlling standard is decided. As Wenxiang Tunnel under- traverse Lianhuo Freeway on Zhengzhou-Xi an Passenger Dedicated Railway Line for an example, the settlement controlling standard is acquired, and we hope it has an direction and reference value to similar tunnel construction.
