Risks of TBM Construction and Corresponding Measures

Abstract:

To get better understanding of TBM construction risk and avoid it, comprehensive analysis and summary of various factors to TBM construction risk were made in three aspects, such as geological and hydrological conditions, TBM equipment, construction team of TBM. Based on the detailed presentation of hydrological conditions, the corresponding demands of TBM equipment and construction team were put forward. Emphatically from the two aspects of bad geological and countermeasures, design of TBM equipment, corresponding strategies to avoid all kinds of risk were proposed. Using Taiwan Hsuehshan Tunnel as the class project, this paper introduced and analyzed the construction risk and of solutions to it, with the hoping of providing guidance for TBM design, risk analysis and evade of construction and other aspects.
