Abstract: Considering the interaction of building-soil-tunnel, the grillage beams foundation frame building vertical crossed by Double-Line (DL) parallel shield tunnel was simulated by 3D MIDAS/GTS software. The results show that: after left-shield tunnel construction had done, during the passage of the right shield tunnelling, the differential settlement decreased gradually, settlement is slightly larger than the left when the right tunnel had ready crossed the building. Uneven settlement first increases, and then decreases gradually tends to zero. Lateral horizontal displacement changes little, and longitudinal horizontal displacement first increased and then decreases. The building’s maximum first principal stress exceeds the standard value, which may cause cracking. With the increase of L the distance from frame axis to the axis of the two tunnels, the first principal stress P1 and maximum shear strain MSmax tended to reduce in general. The maximum differential settlement between columns first increased and then decreased.

Abstract: In this paper, Ground deformation in shield tunneling construction is researched. It is put forward that ground deformation is caused by three reasons, which are ground loss, the positive thrust and the friction. By solving the three-part respectively, the three-dimensional solution formula can be obtained after superposing these. This method is used to calculate the tunnel construction phase at any point in the level of vertical settlement and horizontal displacement. As shown in analytical calculation, the predicted ground displacements of this method are in good agreement with the measured values.

Abstract: Considering the interaction of building-soil-tunnel, the grillage beams foundation frame building vertical crossed by Double-O-Tube (DOT) shield tunnel was simulated by 3D MIDAS/ GTS software, and the impact of construction on the building was analyzed. The results show that: the ground settlement trough caused by DOT shield tunnel can be fitted by peck formula; during the passage of the shield tunneling through the building, the settlement of the building increased and settlement trough was wilder; the settlement was stable and had a little rebound when shield machine already passed the building; with the increase of driving distance, the first principal stress P1 increased and then was stable; with the increase of L, the shape of foundation settlement curve changed, and the maximum differential settlement between columns increased but was small.

Abstract: The causes of water inflow and sand bursting on starting shaft disaster in shield tunnel were analyzed. The analytical model that groundwater seepage from substratum of the reinforced soil to gap in shaft wall on starting shaft in shield tunnelling was established. Using the semi-confined aquifer seepage theory, a practical calculation example was given. The result shows: under the assumption that the reinforced soil was complete exclusion of water, the accidents of water inflow and sand bursting in portal part were influenced by many factors including the length of reinforced soil, groundwater level and so on. The cost and safety of starting shaft engineering had positive correlation with the length of reinforced soil. Lowering the groundwater can significantly reduce water inflow disaster. Comprehensively considered factors of safety, economy, construction period and so on, the reasonable construction parameters can be determined.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) analytical solution of soil deformation induced by ground loss in shield tunnelling construction was researched. It is put forward that the ground loss ratio is not a fixed value, but changes in driving direction. The calculation formula of ground loss ratio in driving direction was deduced. Based on two-dimensional (2D) analytical solution of uniform ground movement model of shield tunnelling, the three-dimensional analytical solution of ground deformation induced by ground loss is deduced. The settlement in vertical direction and the displacement in lateral horizontal direction at any point can be calculated; and the method is only applied to the construction phase. In analytical calculation: the predicted soil displacements are in good agreement with the measured values, and the method is easy to use; the closer the soil to tunnel is, the faster the lateral horizontal displacement changes; the extent of change of lateral horizontal displacement in longitudinal direction is smaller than displacement in lateral direction.

Abstract: Considering different types of building structure and foundation, the system refers to acceptable ground settlement and acceptable soil loss ratio was established by establishing the control of building’s bending and deformation. The system which adopted Delphi dynamic data binding technology and used Access as database was developed by Delphi7.0 visual tools. The system which named "Analysis system about shield tunnel construction to adjacent buildings" is developed to judge the extent of damage of buildings influenced by adjacent shield tunnel construction.

Abstract: Due to its better advantages, Double-O-Tube(DOT) shield has been widely applied in shield tunnel construction. But the impact caused by shield tunnel construction on buildings hasn’t been taken seriously. Considering the interaction of building-soil-tunnel, the independent foundation frame building vertical crossed by DOT shield tunnel was simulated by 3D MIDAS/GTS software, and the impact of construction on the building was analyzed. The results show that: during the passage of the shield tunneling through the building, the settlement of the building increased. The settlement was stable and had a little rebound when shield machine already passed the building. The building’s longitudinal displacement was great larger than lateral horizontal displacement. With the increase of driving distance, the first principal stress P₁ and maximum shear strain MS_max increased and then were stable. With the increase of L, the first principal stress P₁ and maximum shear strain MS_max tended to gradually reduce the security value, and the maximum differential settlement between columns increased first and then decreased. Finally, the safety of the building was assessed comprehensively.
