Experimental study of face passive failure features of a shallow shield tunnel in coastal backfill sand
Face passive failure can severely damage existing structures and underground utilities during shallow shield tunneling, especially in coastal backfill sand. In this work, a series of laboratory model tests were developed and conducted to investigate such failure, for tunnels located at burial depth ratios for which C/D = 0.5, 0.8, 1, and 1.3. Support pressures, the evolution of failure processes, the failure modes, and the distribution of velocity fields were examined through model tests and numerical analyses. The support pressure in the tests first rose rapidly to the elastic limit and then gradually increased to the maximum value in all cases. The maximum support pressure decreased slightly in cases where C/D = 0.8, 1, and 1.3, but the rebound was insignificant where C/D = 0.5. In addition, the configuration of the failure mode with C/D = 0.5 showed a wedge-shaped arch, which was determined by the outcropping shear failure. The configuration of failure modes was composed of an arch and the inverted trapezoid when C/D = 0.8, 1, and 1.3, in which the mode was divided into lower and upper failure zones.
