Karst is a common geological condition in engineering construction. In order to study the influence of karst cave and boundary condition on the analysis of free field ground motion in karst area, viscoelastic artificial boundary was studied in free field ground motion analysis of karst region, a three-dimensional finite element model whose dimension is 1000 m × 1000 m × 500 m was set up, ch…
Deep buried drainage shield tunnels have the characteristics of large buried depth and high inner water pressure. The load effect of high inner water pressure and large earth pressure causes the increase of bending moment and decrease of axial force in the joint section. To meet the requirements of bearing capacity and deformation of lining structures, high stiffness segmental joints (HSSJs) wi…
Dislocation between adjacent rings and opening of conferential joints are two typical distress of shield tunnel due to longitudinal uneven settlement. However, most existing analysis methods only considered one distress. In this study, a longitudinal deformation model of shield tunnel is proposed based on the longitudinal deformation mechanism, which takes both bending deformation and shear def…
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 filter cake on the tunnel face has a significant influence on project of the slurry-driven shield. During the excavation, only permeable filter cake is allowed to form because the rotating speed of cutter wheel is fast. Through the filter cake, the water of slurry will infiltrate into the soil. The water enhances the hydraulic head and the risk the failure of tunnel face. In order to determ…
