Surface settlement prediction for EPB shield tunneling in sandy ground
Abstract Ground volume loss induced by shield tunnel construction is the major factor leading to ground settlement and deformation. The general equations predicting surface settlement based on ground volume loss involve a settlement trough width coefficient (parameter i) which in previous models was set as a constant in both the transverse and longitudinal directions. In this work, the equations predicting surface settlement during the construction were modified by introducing the parameter j – the width coefficient in the longitudinal direction, assumed to be different from that in the transverse direction. A model shield machine was adopted to carry a laboratory test under 1 g to investigate surface settlement induced by earth-pressure-balance shield tunnel construction in unsaturated sandy soil. The surface settlement during the excavating observed in the test was compared with that predicted by general equations from previous studies and the modified. The results showed that surface settlement above shield machine obtained by the modified equation proposed here fits the test data better than those obtained by the general equations because of the introduced longitudinal width coefficient.
