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…

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…
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…
The resonance rubblization technology can be adopted to reconstruct old concrete pavement and eradicate reflection cracking. This method fractures pavement into fragments quickly and directly casts asphalt on fractures, shortening time cost of reconstruction. Previous studies about this technology mainly concentrated on asphalt-casting methods, and the quality, stiffness, and flatness of reco…
The Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) technology has significant advantages over conventional Drill & Blast method, and it has become one of the most common tunnel excavation methods in the world. However, weaknesses of TBM such as the poor adaptability to complex geological conditions create a bottleneck in its functionality, and restrict its further development. Therefore, factors such as engineeri…
