Induced Deformation and Protection of a Hybrid Timber–Masonry Historical Structure from Adjacent Metro Tunneling
The construction of the tunnels of Metro Line 4 and Gulou Station in central Nanjing poses a potential threat to the nearby historic building, Gulou Tower, due to the relatively small spacing and the deteriorated structure behaviors. Two aspects are important for the protection of Gulou Tower: (i) reducing the soil movement caused by the tunnel–station construction and (ii) increasing the total stiffness of this sensitive building. This research first presents the main features of two tunnels and the triple-arch tunnel as the connection between the two tunnels and Gulou Station. The details of the excavation means and construction procedures of the tunnels, together with the engineering measures that tend to reduce soil disturbance during tunnel excavation, are presented. Meanwhile, to improve the overall stiffness of Gulou Tower, additional support for the masonry terrace and the upper timber structure is also discussed. Moreover, the construction procedures of the tunnels and the station that could influence the settlement development of Gulou Tower are also suggested. The measured ground settlement and structure displacement are found to be limited to the allowable values, indicating that the aforementioned protective measures are adequate to protect hybrid timber–masonry historical structures nearby tunneling.
