The increasing number of twin-tunnels constructed in river-crossing subway traffic compels the designers to explore its dynamics performance in the excavation progress. The characteristics of particle accelerations of the granular medium in the surroundings are the important factors to reflect the excavation disturbance. In the construction process of the twin-tunnels, the excavation of the sec…
Tunnelling underneath the existing tunnels are very common these days. It is obvious that the under-crossing tunnelling will affect and even damage the existing tunnels. An analytical method is proposed in this paper to better understand the effects of the under-crossing tunnelling on the existing tunnel. The existing tunnel is modeled as a Timoshenko beam lying on a Kerr foundation. The validi…
The additional pile response due to the creep behavior of the soil is disadvantageous to the safety of pile. However, in the current studies for considering the creep behavior of the soft soil, the pile response induced by the long-term settlement of soil is seldom investigated. This paper mainly discusses the pile response during the excavation and operation periods considering the creep behav…
During excavation of NATM tunnel in soft clays, stability problems could arise when the tunnel is too shallow, necessitating special treatment for the surrounding ground such as freezing and jet grouting. However, there is generally no specific rules to help the engineers to determine the critical depth of “shallow” tunnel, which is the dividing line between stably and un…
When designing a shield tunnel, there is often a need to carry out mechanical tests on tunnel lining joints to obtain joint stiffness. As tunnel excavation goes deeper, the moment and axial force acting on the lining segments increase, which requires a more rigid backup frame and a stronger foundation for the traditional testing setup. A new testing setup, named as Compression Steel Butterfly…

In this paper, a prototype load test on cracked shield tunnel lining segment was conducted to study fracture properties of the segment with initial crack. Principle and process of the test were introduced, and test phenomena were detailedly depicted. Experimental results reveal that lining segment with initial crack finally shows the I-type fracture property, and the failure mode is dominated b…
