Deformation Characteristics of Surrounding Rock of Marine Soft Soil Tunnel Under Cyclic Loading
Soft marine soil exhibits unique mechanical properties that can lead to significant deformation and instability in the surrounding rock of urban subway tunnels. This presents a critical challenge for tunnel engineering researchers and designers. This thesis investigates the stability characteristics of surrounding rock in marine soft soil tunnels under cyclic loading conditions. Focusing on the shield tunnel segment between Left Fortress Station and Taiziwan Station of Shenzhen Urban Rail Transit Line 12, a discrete–continuous coupled numerical analysis method is employed to examine the deformation characteristics of the surrounding rock. This analysis takes into account the effects of dynamic loads resulting from train operations on the arch bottom’s surrounding rock. The findings indicate that damage to the surrounding rock occurs gradually, with the marine soft soil layer, particularly at higher water content, being prone to substantial plastic deformation. Additionally, under the influence of train vibration loads, the degree of vertical fluctuation in the internal marine soft soil diminishes with increasing depth from the bottom of the tunnel arch. This coupled numerical analysis approach offers valuable insights and methodologies for assessing the structural safety of tunnel projects throughout their operational periods.
