超大直径盾构下穿既有隧道诱发地层沉降与土拱演化机制模型试验研究

    Model Test Study on Ground Settlement and Arching Evolution Induced by Super-Large-Diameter Shield Undercrossing an Existing Tunnel

    • 摘要: 超大直径盾构下穿既有隧道会引发地层扰动并影响既有隧道及地表,其中土拱的形成与演化在这一过程中起着关键作用。本文基于自主研制的盾构推进模拟试验平台,开展超大直径盾构下穿既有隧道的模型试验,模拟不同地层损失率和隧道间距工况,获取地表沉降、地层沉降及作用在既有隧道上的土压力数据。结果表明:1)地表沉降受地层损失率主导并受隧道间距调节,高损失率与小间距叠加时,若控制不当易诱发地表塌陷;2)基于数字图像相关技术(DIC)获得了地层沉降分布,揭示了既有隧道周围土拱形成与演化机制及地表塌陷机理;3)既有隧道显著改变了地层应力传递路径与土拱形成机制,使隧道交汇区前、后缘的地层响应差异明显:前缘易形成稳定土拱以分散扰动、减小沉降;后缘难以形成稳定土拱,易加剧沉降甚至诱发塌陷;4)开挖扰动使作用在既有隧道上的土压力显著变化,其响应特征也印证了既有隧道周围土拱的演化过程。研究成果可为超大直径盾构下穿既有隧道地层变形控制与运营安全防控提供技术支撑。

       

      Abstract: Super-large-diameter shield undercrossing beneath an existing tunnel induces ground disturbance, influencing both the tunnel and the ground surface. As a key manifestation of ground response, soil arching plays a critical role. Using a self-developed shield tunneling simulation platform, we conducted model tests of a super-large-diameter tunnel undercrossing an existing tunnel, considering different volume loss ratios and tunnel spacings. Measurements of surface settlement, subsurface deformation, and earth pressure on the existing tunnel were obtained. Results indicate that surface settlement is dominated by volume loss ratio and modulated by tunnel spacing. High loss combined with small spacing may trigger surface collapse. Digital image correlation (DIC) captures settlement fields and reveals the soil arching evolution. The existing tunnel alters stress transfer paths, forming a stable arch at the front edge and an unstable arch at the rear edge. The ground disturbance induced by shield tunneling leads to significant changes in the earth pressure acting on the existing tunnel, and the pressure responses also corroborate the evolution of the surrounding soil arching. These findings provide insights for the deformation control and safety assurance in super-large-diameter shield tunneling.
