Object Of Study

Constructing a metro station by enlarging an existing large-diameter shield tunnel can be considered as an attempt to build metro engineering efficiently, safely and economically. To Take the Gaojiayuan station of Beijing metro line 14 as an object of study, two-dimensional finite element models are used to simulate metro station construction by enlarging a large-diameter shield tunnel with an outer diameter of 10 m, based on the soil-tunnel-pipeline-building interaction. According to the theory of orthogonal experimental design, four different supplementary construction measures are considered to study the influence of whether or not adopting the measures on deformation of adjacent structures during enlarging construction. The deformation of adjacent structures is predicted on the basis of adopting four supplementary construction measures. The numerical results can be regarded as a reference for the design and construction of metro station by enlarging large-diameter shield tunnel.

New Construction

In more and more complicated urban building environment, a new construction method that metro engineering is constructed by large-diameter shield and shallow mining method can be regarded as a great attempt in China. By taking the Gaojiayuan station of Beijing metro line 14 as an engineering background, the main construction steps for the platform of the metro station built by a large-size shield with an outer diameter of 10 m and the Pile-Beam-Arch (PBA) method are introduced. Based on the soil-structure interaction theory, a two-dimensional finite element model is used to simulate the shield tunneling and the platform construction by the PBA method to enlarge the shield tunnel. The ground deformation and structural stress of the platform are predicted. The numerical results can be regarded as a valuable reference for the application of the new construction method in Beijing metro line 14.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

The complexities and the economic computational infeasibility associated in some cases, with three-dimensional finite element models, has imposed a motive for many investigators to accept numerical modeling simplification solutions such as assuming two-dimensional (2D) plane strain conditions in simulation of several supported-deep excavation problems, especially for cases with a relatively high aspect ratio in plan dimensions. In this research, a two-dimensional finite element model was established to simulate the behavior of the supporting system of a large-scale deep excavation utilized in the construction of an underground metro station Rod El Farrag project (Egypt). The essential geotechnical engineering properties of soil layers were calculated using results of in-situ and laboratory tests and empirical correlations with SPT-N values. On the other hand, a three-dimensional finite element model was established with the same parameters adopted in the two-dimensional model. Sufficient sensitivity numerical analyses were performed to make the three-dimensional finite element model economically feasible. Results of the two-dimensional model were compared with those obtained from the field measurements and the three-dimensional numerical model. The comparison results showed that 3D high stiffening at the primary walls’ corners and also at the locations of cross walls has a significant effect on both the lateral wall deformations and the neighboring soil vertical settlement.

Building Environment

With the speedy development of Beijing mass transit, the land for metro engineering construction is becoming more and more insufficient; moreover, more and more complicated building environment problems are coming forth in future. In a complex building environment, how to choose available construction method to fast, safely and economically build metro engineering is worthy to be urgently studied in Beijing mass transit. Taking the experiment project of Beijing metro line No.14 as an engineering background, a new construction method that a running tunnel is firstly built by large-size shield method and then a metro station is constructed by shallow mining method to enlarge existing large-diameter shield tunnel is presented in this paper. Based on the building conditions of the experiment project, three architectural design schemes for the metro station and two kinds of construction plans are briefly introduced, and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed as well. The new construction method can be used as a reference for the design and construction of metro engineering in China in the future.

Clamping Pressure

This paper presents numerical results obtained using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in studying large diameter welded neck steel flanges under different loading conditions. Obtained FEA results show the effect of the clamping pressure, internal pressure, axial end load, temperature effect, gasket elasticity modulus on the contact pressure between the gasket and the steel flange. As expected clamping pressure is a determinate factor for the sealing condition. Gasket material is another primary factor in designing flanged joints.
