Prediction of subsurface settlement induced by shield tunnelling in sandy cobble stratum
This study focuses on the analytical prediction of subsurface settlement induced by shield tunnelling in sandy cobble stratum considering the volumetric deformation modes of the soil above the tunnel crown. A series of numerical analyses is performed to examine the effects of cover depth ratio (C/D), tunnel volume loss rate (ηt) and volumetric block proportion (VBP) on the characteristics of subsurface settlement trough and soil volume loss. Considering the ground loss variation with depth, three modes are deduced from the volumetric deformation responses of the soil above the tunnel crown. Then, analytical solutions to predict subsurface settlement for each mode are presented using stochastic medium theory. The influences of C/D, ηt and VBP on the key parameters (i.e. B and N) in the analytical expressions are discussed to determine the fitting formulae of B and N. Finally, the proposed analytical solutions are validated by the comparisons with the results of model test and numerical simulation. Results show that the fitting formulae provide a convenient and reliable way to evaluate the key parameters. Besides, the analytical solutions are reasonable and available in predicting the subsurface settlement induced by shield tunnelling in sandy cobble stratum.
