In view of the influence of symmetrical surcharge, unloading and excavation of soft clay soils on shield tunnels, the surface settlement, tunnel settlement, vertical additional earth pressure and tunnel additional confining pressure are measured by an indoor model test. The changes of confining pressure, tunnel settlement, surface settlement and vertical earth pressure caused by surcharge, unloading and excavation are studied and analyzed. The results show that, in soft clay, surcharge will cause tunnel settlement, and unloading and excavation will generally cause tunnel uplift. There is hysteresis in surface settlement and tunnel settlement above the shield tunnel caused by surcharge and unloading; the change of additional confining pressure of the shield tunnel caused by surcharge is mainly concentrated in the three directions of 3, 5 and 7 of the radar chart. These points belong to weak points. Unloading and excavation can effectively reduce the additional confining pressure of the tunnel in these three directions; excavation will cause the increase of vertical cumulative additional earth pressure and tunnel confining pressure in local directions. The influence range of surcharge in soft clay is wider than that in sand, but the depth is relatively shallow.

AbstractNonlinear phenomena are universal in ecology. However, their inference and prediction are generally difficult because of autocorrelation and outliers. A traditional least squares method for parameter estimation is capable of improving short-term prediction by estimating autocorrelation, whereas it has weakness to outliers and consequently worse long-term prediction. In contrast, a traditional robust regression approach, such as the least absolute deviations method, alleviates the influence of outliers and has potentially better long-term prediction, whereas it makes accurately estimating autocorrelation difficult and possibly leads to worse short-term prediction. We propose a new robust regression approach that estimates autocorrelation accurately and reduces the influence of outliers. We then compare the new method with the conventional least squares and least absolute deviations methods by using simulated data and real ecological data. Simulations and analysis of real data demonstrate that the new method generally has better long-term and short-term prediction ability for nonlinear estimation problems using spawner–recruitment data. The new method provides nearly unbiased autocorrelation even for highly contaminated simulated data with extreme outliers, whereas other methods fail to estimate autocorrelation accurately.
