Influence of Cavity above Tunnel on Stratum Deformation and Failure in Urban Tunnelling

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the influence of cavity above the tunnel on stratum deformation and failure in urban tunnelling, the model test method was adopted based on the parameters of the stratum and tunnel section size in Beijing subway. The stratum responses were obtained under the conditions without ground cavity and with ground cavity above the tunnel. The responses include the stratum stress distribution, stratum settlement law and stratum failure process. It was concluded that the existence of ground cavity above the tunnel worsened the stratum condition and accelerated the progress of stratum deformation and failure. Furthermore, the failure began from the cavity and the damage scope was bigger than that under the condition without cavity according to the test results. The research results can be referenced for the similar tunnel engineering.
