Studies for Deformation of Slurry Shield Construction under Across and Parallel Existing Tunnel
The method combining the construction survey and the numerical simulation is proposed in the paper to accurately obtain the deformation of the slurry shield construction under across and parallel existing tunnel. The surface settlements of the engineering construction initial position are surveyed. The reliability of the three dimensional finite element models is verified by comparing with the survey results. The deformation variation of the existing tunnel and ground surface are obtained by the elastoplasticity nonlinear calculations, showing the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method and the credibility and accuracy of the calculated results. Meanwhile, the measures of control deformation are presented. The surveyed settlements after the construction process of implementing measures are smaller than those calculated, indicating the effect obviously of the measures which has practical significance.
