The method to analysis the strength of planetary trains’ carriers of EPB(earth pressure balance) shield machine is presented in this paper. The structure of the shield machine trains is analyzed and the 3-D solid model of the carrier is built with Pro/E. After the load on the carrier has been dealt with, the strength of carrier is calculated by means of finite element method. The results via ANSYS show that the max stress and strain on the carriers are increasing as the increasing load on it. The max stress is lying on the joint point of the carrier and planetary gear shaft because of the bending deformation of the shaft.

This paper presents the surface settlement performance induced by the foamed type of earth pressure balance shield in contract CH218 of the Hsintien Line of the Taipei Rapid Transit System. The surface settlement characteristics caused by the single tunnel and by twin tunnels with reference to two sections spaced at 87 m are studied. Field observations indicate that the surface settlement trough due to the single tunnel can be represented by the normal distribution. The distance of the inflection point to the tunnel center and maximum surface settlement value are consistent with those found in the literature. The characteristics of the surface settlement trough are related to the type of the soil, particularly where the crown of the tunnel is located in a layered soil deposit. The ground surface settlement induced by twin tunnels was found to be larger than estimated using the principle of superposition.Key words: shield tunnelling, surface settlement, field observation.

Kinematical Approach

A three-dimensional (3D) failure mechanism, based on the framework of the kinematical approach of limit analysis theory, is applied to calculate the face supporting pressure of a circular tunnel driven by the Earth Pressure Balance Shield (EPBS). The geometry of the mechanisms considered is composed of a sequence of truncated rigid cones. The numerical results obtained are presented.

Cutter Head

In order to avoid the safety accidents caused by earth pressure imbalance during shield machine tunneling process, the earth pressure between excavation face and that in chamber must be maintained balance, but it is difficult for practical engineering. Therefore, a data-driven multi-variable optimization method based on dual heuristic programming (DHP) is proposed. First, a cost function with respect to the chamber’s earth pressure is given in light of Bellman’s principle. Then, based on back propagation neural networks (BPNN), the action network, model network and critic network are established that compose the DHP controller. The networks’ weights are updated through the gradient descent algorithm. By minimizing the cost function, the action network utilizes the critic network’s error to optimize the control variables, so that the optimal advance speed, cutter head torque, cutter head speed, total thrust and screw conveyor speed are obtained. Finally, the simulation experiments are carried out, and the results indicate that the method can effectively control the earth pressure balance in chamber and has strong anti-interference ability.
