Ground movement and settlement prediction induced by double-track curvature shield tunneling
In this paper, the deformation response of the stratum in the vicinity of a tunnel is investigated based on a case study in Tianjin. A method to predict the surface settlement in the case of double-track curvature shield tunneling is also proposed. The research methodology consists of analytical calculations, finite element analysis as well as field monitoring. Straight shield tunneling and curvature shield tunneling are modeled, each with a single-track shield and a double-track shield, and their operational parameters are compared. The influence of overcutting and existing tunnel on ground movement is also discussed. The salient observations from the series of analyses are as follows: (a) The maximum settlement induced by curvature shield tunneling is much greater than that induced by straight shield tunneling, while the existing tunnel has little impact on stratum settlement in contrast, (b) the proposed method of predicting the surface settlement induced by double-track curvature shield tunneling fits well with the field-monitored data in the Tianjin case study, and (c) the location of the maximum ground settlement is deviated by the overcutting phenomenon, whereas the settlement of the soil above the excavated tunnel is reduced due to the presence of the existing tunnel.
