Tunnel Shield

Geotechnical conditions such as tunnel dimensions, tunneling method and soil type are few factors influencing the ground movement or disturbance.  This paper presents the effect of tunnel cover to diameter ratio and relative density of sand on surface settlement induced by tunneling using physical modelling. The aluminum casing with outer diameter of 50 mm was used to model the tunnel shield. The size of the casing was 2 mm diameter larger than the tunnel lining. The tunnel excavation was done by pulling out the tunnel shield at constant speed with a mechanical pulley. The tested variables are cover to diameter ratio (1, 2 and 3) and relative density of sand (30%, 50% and 75%). The results demonstrated that the surface settlement decreased as the relative density increased. Also, as the relative density of sand increased, the overload factor at collapse increased. The surface settlement was at the highest when the cover to diameter ratio was 2.  It can be concluded that in greenfield condition, the relative density and cover to diameter ratio affect the surface settlement.

In order to study the Dalian Metro section 202(Cujin Road station-Chunguang Street station, which is shallowly buried and covered with plain fill)’s ground surface settlement, the monitoring measuring station was built during the construction. After 3 months’ measuring by precision level,the data shows that the maximum point is in the center line of the tunnel of the upper part. The settlement is about 25.66-31.82mm. This paper put forward the concept of the distance span ratio β, β effective value range was - 4 <β< 4,Surface subsidence is closely related with β, Severe surface subsidence stage is -2 <β< 2, Occupy whole deformation is 67.5-77.6%,settlement rate about 0.84-0.93mm/d, so should strengthen the monitoring frequency, Suggest increases site tour. Field test results and the ground surface settlement calculation model winkle are identical with each other; the monitoring results have important guiding significance and reference for Dalian subway and the similar shallow depth excavation tunnel construction.
