Water Conveyance Tunnel

This paper presents a numerical study that aims to compare the behavior of the segmental tunnel lining using the direct, indirect and experimental methods. This model is based on a practical case applied in university of Tongji: a project of water conveyance tunnel. A reduction in the bending moment and increasing of the displacement in the tunnel lining is showed in numerical results, when taking into account the effect of the joints. It has been shown that the number of joints in the tunnel-lining structure highly affects the results in terms internal forces and displacements. Furthermore, the internal forces obtained by the continuous method are high compared to the other methods when the effects on segmental joints on tunnel lining behaviour are usually considered. Additionally, the bending moment of the direct method with behaviour of rotation spring linear and experimental method is comparable.

Composite Lining

Although underground structures have stronger aseismic performance than ground structures, seismic disasters of mountain tunnels were fairly conspicuous in Wenchuan Great Earthquake. On the basis of seismic disaster analysis, a composite lining designfor tunnel structures across active fault was put forward. Three-dimensional numerical simulation method was used to analyze aseismic and damping effect of this structure. The results show that: (1)After setting aseismic and damping structure, the maximum internal forces value in lining the pattern of internal forces will not change. (2)Aseismic and damping structure setting can directly reduce the bending moment value and increase the axial force and stress force value in lining structure. (3) Relative to aseismic and damping structure, grouting region around damping layer can ameliorate internal force condition in lining structure and improve the effect of aseismic and damping structure. The above research results contribute to provide reference for seismic fortification of tunnel structures across active faults.

In order to survey the time-varying effect on shield tunnel lining structure, rigidity reduce in the Homogeneous Ring Design Theory is introduced. There are three methods to evaluate the rigidity reduction caused by the aging effect. The first is the bending rigidity analysis method, which considers that the bending rigidity changes with the time-dependent stress and strain. The second is the method named the equivalent moment of inertia; the last is aging coefficient method. With the Homogeneous Ring Design Theory, the internal forces and displacement of the shield tunnel segment lining can be calculated. Based on the preliminary results, using the 1st method, the reduced rigidity and the long-time displacement at different instants of time can be calculated. It is found that the concrete shrinkage and creep effect can’t be ignored in the segment design. The survey is beneficial to monitor the deformation of tunnel lining, and the maintenance of the segments. It will make the tunnel work steadily and safely during the using period.

The existence of cavities behind the shield tunnel lining can cause cracking, broken pieces, water leakage, and other problems, which reduces the durability and safety of the shield tunnel segment structure. In order to clarify the mechanism of cavity damage, a more systematic study of the effects of cavities on the shield tunnel lining structure from the angle, depth, and the number of cavities is carried out using model tests and numerical simulations without considering the effects of the stiffness reduction effect at the tunnel segment joints and groundwater seepage in this paper. The findings show that the bending moment value and the cavity angle value are approximately linear with the increase of single cavity angle, and the bending moment at the vault arch is reversed when the angle of the cavity behind the arch is greater than 30°. With the increase of single cavity depth, the axial force and bending moment at the cavity increase, and the distribution of bending moment remains unchanged, and the bending moment tends to be stable and unchanged beyond a certain depth. With the increase of single cavity angle and depth, the structural safety coefficient of the segment decreases, and the degree of influence is angle value > depth value. The existence of multiple cavities intensifies the influence of each cavity on the segment, especially when there are cavities behind the top and bottom of the vault; the bending moment value of the top of the vault increases by 22.53% compared with that of the single cavity condition.

Calculation Results

For the initial lining structure of tunnel , constructing an consider integrated safety factor function.Consider the initial shotcrete tunnel support structure as a series system, using the interval estimation of the "wide boundaries of law" system of tunnel lining structure analysis, on this basis to determine the system failure mode. Using the limit displacement under the condition of axial force and bending moment of the corresponding displacement and construction monitoring of displacement are analyzed, considering the material properties, geometry and random effects. Using the Monte Carlo finite element method, combined with a typical project example to tunnel structural system reliability index were calculated. The calculation results show that in the engineering example, tunnel lining structure in some local section of the reliability index is smaller, but the whole support system reliability indexes meet the design requirements, the whole tunnel lining structure in a safe state.

Water Conveyance Tunnel

Three basic types of similar relationship between the prototype and the model for dynamic structural model test and dynamic destructive model test were proposed in corresponding literatures. At the time the situation where various similar relationships are applicable and the technique to ensure similarity for the different goal was discussed. Here the numerical simulation of model test of water-conveyance tunnel concerning fluid-structure interaction in soft soil is studied. Based on economy and practicability of selective material for model test, the similar relationship and the technique are proposed, which are validated through the example. The results of numerical simulation show: under the specific conditions, data of the model test can completely transfer to those of the prototype by use of this type of similar skill, and get more useful information. Some new ideas are introduced to keep the similarity of the hydro-structure structures.
