Abstract: Based to the geometric and mechanical parameters of the typical high-speed railway, the settlement values on the foundation and the subgrade face with different structure layer load are obtained by the numerical calculation. According to these numerical results, the power functional relationship between Sst / S∞ and Pst /hγ is found, and a new evaluation method of the subgrade face settlement caused by the structure layer using the measure data is put forward. Through analyzing the settlement data of different conditions, the parameters of the formula are discussed, and some conclusions and suggestions are given. This new evaluation method will provide some reference for the design and the evaluation of the subgrade settlement caused by the structure layer of the high-speed railway.

Abstract: The method to analysis the strength of planetary trains’ carriers of EPB(earth pressure balance) shield machine is presented in this paper. The structure of the shield machine trains is analyzed and the 3-D solid model of the carrier is built with Pro/E. After the load on the carrier has been dealt with, the strength of carrier is calculated by means of finite element method. The results via ANSYS show that the max stress and strain on the carriers are increasing as the increasing load on it. The max stress is lying on the joint point of the carrier and planetary gear shaft because of the bending deformation of the shaft.
