In order to solve the difficulties in the deformation measurement of subway shield tunnel structure, a non-contact measurement method of close range photogrammetry technology based on movable base is put forward. A light metal frame is designed as the movable base, which is calibrated by the electronic total station. And the case study verified the feasibility of the measurement.

In the Yangtze River Delta of China, a large number of metro tunnels have been constructed in soft soils. The excessive and differential tunnel settlement may impair the serviceability of the metro system. The treatment of such excessive and differential settlement in rheologic and sensitive soft soils is a challenge because the tunnel may incur a larger settlement due to construction disturbances. In this paper, a case study of the differential settlement treatment of the new shield tunnel of Ningbo Metro line 2 is presented. A maximum tunnel settlement of 214 mm was observed several months after construction of the tunnel was completed. To uplift the deviated tunnel axis, a grouting and lifting measure named “bottom grouting, inner support, real-time monitoring and immediate adjusting” is proposed. The settlement treatment section is successfully uplifted with an average value of 30 mm, and the maximum final uplift amount of the tunnel is 41 mm, which reached the target value of uplift. The maximum convergence deformation caused by the grouting is 10 mm, which is less than the maximum acceptable deviation, i.e., 15.5 mm. The corrective grouting method and the valuable monitoring data presented in this study can provide a reference for projects with similar problems in the future.

The Lanzhou Yellow River Tunnel is the first metro shield tunnel that undercrosses the Yellow River in China. It was completed after successfully overcoming several construction challenges, including strata with a high proportion of large-sized sandy cobble stratum being saturated, large-scale sand pits along the bank of the Yellow River, and a combination of boulders and erratic blocks of rock. Given the difficulties in constructing the tunnel, this paper summarizes the scheme employed to transform the cutter and cutter head design to be applicable to sandy cobble stratum and the key technology used to form the slurry film to facilitate crossing the sand pits in a systematic way. The transformation scheme primarily involved the addition of an adjusting device to control the aperture ratio of the shield on the cutter head, a protective device for the hob hub, and a protective device for the piston rod in the oil cylinder of the crusher. The implementation of measures mentioned above guarantees the safe completion of the tunnel, which can provide a reference for similar projects.

It is well known that the tunnel structure will lose its function under the long-term repeated function of the vibration effect. A prime example is the Xi’an cross tunnel structure (CTS) of Metro Line 2 and the Yongningmen tunnel, where the vibration response of the tunnel vehicle load and metro train load to the structure of shield tunnel was analyzed by applying the three-dimensional (3D) dynamic finite element model. The effect of the train running was simulated by applying the time-history curves of vibration force of the track induced by wheel axles, using the fitted formulas for vehicle and train vibration load. The characteristics and the spreading rules of vibration response of metro tunnel structure were researched from the perspectives of acceleration, velocity, displacement, and stress. It was found that vehicle load only affects the metro tunnel within 14 m from the centre, and the influence decreases gradually from vault to spandrel, haunch, and springing. The high-speed driving effect of the train can be divided into the close period, the rising period, the stable period, the declining period, and the leaving period. The stress at haunch should be carefully considered. The research results presented for this case study provide theoretical support for the safety of vibration response of Metro Line 2 structure.
