Application of Stable Equilibrium Theory to Metro Tunnels and River-Crossing Tunnels Using Shield Tunneling Method
Abstract The expansion of cities and increase of the population leads to heavy traffic which, in town, causes air pollution and traffic jam. These belong to the most important problems in nowadays urbanization. The metro tunnels and is considered as an efficient medium of public transportation and is widely used to alleviate traffic problems and environmental pollution. Since many developed cities have rivers crossed through, tunneling shields sometimes have to cross rivers. The tunneling inevitably caused ground subsidence and consequently influence on the buildings and river banks [1]. It is necessary to utilize the stable equilibrium theory and related techniques to control the ground subsidence and its negative impact within an allowed limit. This chapter illustrated the application of the theory with two such cases.
