Analytical Method To Estimate The Influence Of Foundation Pit Excavation Adjacent To The Station (Working Shaft) On The Underlying Shield Tunnel, Zu-Xian Wang, Cheng-Hua Shi, Chen-Jie Gong, Cheng-Yong Cao, Jian-Wen Liu, Zhu Peng

Rock and Soil Mechanics

The shield tunnel is typically simplified as an infinite beam with two free ends in existing analytical models, which are used to calculate the longitudinal deformation of the underlying shield tunnel induced by the excavation of a foundation pit. However, the applicability of those analytical models is limited due to the simplification. The current study is aimed at estimating analytically the longitudinal deformation of the underlying shield tunnel induced by the excavation of a foundation pit adjacent to the station (working shaft). The constraint on the shield tunnel generated by the joint between the station (working shaft) and the tunnel …

Rock and Soil Mechanics

In recent years, construction works near the operating metro tunnel in granite residual soil have been gradually increasing, and the impact of these construction works on the safety of shield tunnel should not be ignored. Finite element method is an effective method to evaluate the influence of adjacent construction on shield tunnel, but its reliability highly depends on the reasonable selection of soil constitutive model and parameters. In this paper, the current situation of parameter selection of hardening soil model for granite residual soil is firstly reviewed. Then a back-analysis method for determining the parameters of granite residual soil based …

Seismic Vulnerability Analysis Of Shield Tunnels Considering Cavitation, Yu-Sheng Chen, Zu-De Ding, Hao Zi, Zheng-Chu Liu, Xia-Fei Ji

Rock and Soil Mechanics

The existence of cavities behind the segments is one of the common disease phenomena in shield tunnels. The cavities not only affect the static mechanics behavior of soil and segment, but also directly affect the dynamic response of the tunnel, which could aggravate the tunnel’s seismic damage. The existing related researches all use the deterministic analysis methods and lack the quantitative evaluation method in terms of probability perspective. Taking a shield tunnel in a rail transit section as an example, considering factors such as the location and size of the cavity, site conditions, and the incident direction of seismic wave, …
