Construction Technology of Pile Foundation for Subway Tunnel Crossing Bridge

Urban infrastructure has become more complex with the rapid development of urban transportation networks.In urban environments with limited space,construction of facilities like subways and bridges may mutually influence each other,especially when subway construction requires passing under bridges.In such cases,pile foundation replacement technology is often necessary.However,this technology is highly specialized,with a lengthy and risky construction period,and high costs.Personnel must be proficient in key technical aspects to ensure construction quality.This article discusses the technical principle,construction process,and core technology of pile foundation replacement,along with the application of this technology in subway tunnel crossing bridge projects,supported by engineering examples for reference.

Mechanical behavior of segment rebar of shield tunnel in construction stage

In this paper, a 3D finite element （FE） program ADINA was applied to analyzing a tunnel with 9 segment tings. The loads acting on these segment tings included the squeezing action of tail brush of shield machine under attitude deflection, the jacking forces, the grouting pressure and the soil pressure. The analyses focused on the rebar stress in two statuses： （1） normal construction status without shield machine squeezing; （2） squeezing action induced by shield machine under attitude deflection. The analyses indicated that the rebar stress was evidently affected by the construction loads. In different construction status, the rebar stress ranges from -80 MPa to 50 MPa, and the rebar is in elastic status. Even some cracks appear on segments, the stress of segment rebar is still at a low level. It is helpful to incorporate a certain quantity of steel fiber to improve the anti-crack and shock resistance performance.

Machine learning-based automatic control of tunneling posture of shield machine

For a tunnel driven by a shield machine,the posture of the driving machine is essential to the construction quality and environmental impact.However,the machine posture is controlled by the experienced driver of shield machine by setting hundreds of tunneling parameters empirically.Machine learning(ML)algorithm is an alternative method that can let the computer to learn from the driver’s operation and try to model the relationship between parameters automatically.Thus,in this paper,three ML algorithms,i.e.multi-layer perception(MLP),support vector machine(SVM)and gradient boosting regression(GBR),are improved by genetic algorithm(GA)and principal component analysis(PCA)to predict the tunneling posture of the shield machine.A set of the parameters for shield tunneling is extracted from the construction site of a Shanghai metro.In total,53,785 pairwise data points are collected for about 373 d and the ratio between training set,validation set and test set is 3:1:1.Each pairwise data point includes 83 types of parameters covering the shield posture,construction parameters,and soil stratum properties at the same time.The test results show that the averaged R2 of MLP,SVM and GBR based models are 0.942,0.935 and 0.6,respectively.Then the automatic control for the posture of shield tunnel is illustrated with an application example of the proposed models.The proposed method is proved to be helpful in controlling the construction quality with optimized construction parameters.

Performance of the suspension method in large cross-section shallow-buried tunnels

Large cross-section tunnel construction induces ground surface settlements, potentially endangering both subterranean projects and nearby above-ground structures. A novel tunnel construction method, known as the suspension method,is introduced in this paper to mitigate surface settlement. The suspension method employs vertical tie rods to establish a structural connection between the initial tunnel support system and the surface steel beam, thereby exerting effective control settlements. To analyze the performance of the proposed method, systematic numerical simulations were conducted based on the practical engineering of Harbin Subway Line 3. The surface settlement and vault settlement characteristics during construction are investigated. The results show a gradual increment in both surface and vault settlement throughout the construction process, culminating in a stabilized state upon the completion of construction.In addition, compared to the double-side drift method and the Cross Diaphragm Method(CRD) method, the suspension method can obviously reduce the surface settlement and vault settlement. Moreover, the surface settlements and the axial force of tie rods were continuously monitored during the construction process at the trial tunnel block.These specific monitoring measurements are illustrated in comparison to numerical analysis results. The monitored results show great agreement with the numerical predictions, confirming the success of the project. This research can serve as a valuable practical reference for similar projects, offering insights and guidance for addressing ground surface settlements and enhancing construction safety in the domain of large cross-section tunneling.

盾构法隧道开挖过程中开挖面稳定性保持非常重要,开挖面稳定性下提升工程进度、保障工程质量等目标具有重要的工程意义。目前,针对开挖面稳定性下的多目标优化控制的研究不足。选择掘进效率作为工程进度的指标,选择掘进过程引起的最大地表沉降作为工程质量指标。采用分层序列法和NSGA-II多目标优化算法,将盾构开挖面稳定作为第一层优化目标,工程进度与工程质量作为第二层优化目标,研究盾构开挖面稳定下多目标优化。在一段连续穿越堤坝、空地、敏感建筑三个场景的施工隧道中应用本研究方法,结果表明,优化后的盾构推力维持在上下限区间内,提高了施工效率和减少了地表沉降。本文方法能够根据实际工况自适应的调整和优化控制策略,提高了在实际工程中的适应性和灵活性。为类似盾构隧道工程提供了参考和指导。

盾构隧道进出洞施工渗漏诱发结构倒塌试验研究

为明确隧道进出洞施工时因渗漏而诱发的结构倒塌发展过程,设计并开展缩尺模型试验。根据相似关系设计模型试验,制作模型土体与模型盾构隧道。参考实际进出洞施工渗漏事故案例,触发模型盾构隧道渗漏,在模型箱内重现隧道结构倒塌的全过程,并观测事故发展过程中的地层响应、隧道外部土压力变化、隧道倒塌发展过程。通过分析隧道进出洞施工中不同位置发生渗漏后结构的倒塌响应,对比不同位置渗漏对隧道进出洞施工致灾发展过程的影响。试验研究发现:1)隧道进出洞施工发生渗漏后,外部土体由于渗流侵蚀产生不稳定土洞,土洞经历了形成—失稳—再现的循环过程;2)隧道结构倒塌是由不稳定土洞失稳坠落冲击隧道结构导致的;3)隧道顶部和腰部2种不同位置渗漏后外部土体侵蚀发展的本质相同,但是不同渗漏位置产生的土洞形状有明显差异,导致最终隧道倒塌位置有所差异。

上下重叠隧道盾构法施工引起的地面沉降分析

[目的]重叠隧道特殊的施工方式可能会导致地面沉降槽的形成及地层损失率的增加,对周边环境和建筑物造成影响。因此,有必要对重叠隧道施工中的地面沉降规律进行研究。[方法]以北京地铁昌平线清河小营桥站—学知园站区间的完全重叠段隧道为例,结合数值分析与现场监测数据,系统地研究了盾构重叠隧道施工过程中的地面沉降和地层损失情况,分析了上线隧道和下线隧道的施工顺序对地面沉降槽形态、最大沉降值及地层损失率的影响。[结果及结论]盾构重叠隧道施工中存在明显的叠加效应。上线隧道的施工会对地层造成一定的损失,并导致地面最大沉降值的增加。重叠施工情况下,上线隧道开挖造成的地层损失小于不涉及重叠施工情况下的上层隧道单独施工造成的地层损失。重叠隧道施工中的地层损失率不受隧道埋深变化的影响,且单线开挖与重叠开挖的地层损失率相差不大。在本工程类似地层中,地层损失率可大致按0.25%进行估算。

高承压水软土地区联络通道盾构法施工对区间盾构隧道影响分析

[目的]盾构法联络通道施工过程中,顶推及切削作用将导致隧道交叉连接处受力显著变化,加剧破洞影响,减弱安全性能。为高效实现施工控制,需对主隧道结构受力特性进行深入研究。[方法]以天津地铁首个盾构法联络通道工程实例为依托,结合有限元软件模拟盾构法联络通道施工过程,分析该工法对主隧道结构受力与变形的影响,并提出相应控制措施。[结果及结论]在联络通道始发阶段,始发隧道受顶推和切削作用,洞口附近管片变形与受力变化显著,洞口对侧拱腰处管片水平位移最大;在接收阶段,接收隧道受切削作用和土体开挖卸荷影响,洞口附近管片内力变化显著,产生偏向联络通道的变形。整体上,受影响范围主要集中在联络通道轴线两侧各约10 m范围内,约3倍联络通道外径。基于此,需关注被顶推及洞口附近等重点位置管片,在保障施工安全的前提下,可优化内支撑体系,通过减少台车撑靴支撑范围至2倍联络通道外径、减小台车钢板厚度或支撑钢管壁厚等方式降低工程造价。
