软土地层土压平衡盾构施工参数的模型试验研究

Experimental study on the working parameters of EPB shield tunneling in soft ground

我国沿海经济发达城市及一些内陆中心城市正在兴建或筹建地铁,这些地区的地下广泛分布着较厚的软黏土沉积层。为研究土压平衡盾构在这种软土地层中施工的适应性,以上海地铁M8线某区间隧道工程为研究背景,采用室内模型试验的方法,开展在不同埋深、不同刀盘开口率、不同推进速度以及不同螺旋机转速等情况下的盾构掘削模型试验。通过对试验结果的整理与分析,得出土仓压力与排土效率、单位时间排土量与推进速度、推力和扭矩之间的内在联系,以及隧道埋深、刀盘开口率、推进速度对推力和扭矩的影响。这些结论的取得为盾构施工参数之间及其与地层特性之间的适应性理论提供了有益的帮助,并为更好地指导软土地层盾构隧道的设计与施工服务。

Deep sedimentary deposits of soft clays are widely distributed in coastal areas as well as in many interior cities in China. In order to study the stratum adaptability of EPB shield t in such types of soft ground, model tests of tunneling excavation, using the running tunnel of the Shanghai Metro Line M8 as a background, are carried out with different tunnel depths, opening rates of cutter head, driving speeds and rotation speeds of screw conveyor. Based on the test results, the interrelationships between chamber pressure and mucking efficiency, mucking rate and driving speed, thrust force and torque are obtained. The influences of tunnel depth, opening rate of cutter head and driving speed on thrust force and torque are revealed. Such findings not only facilitate for establishing relationships between shield working parameters and soil properties, but also serve as a guide to the design and construction of shield tunnel in soft ground.
