Research of the Self-Balanced Cable Support System for Large Cross-Section Cable Tunnel

Abstract:

The cable support system in large cross-section cable tunnel, which can solve the cable laying problem of big cross section cable and multi-loop cable effectively, gradually become the development trend of urban electricity transmission. Combined with the structure feature of large cross section shield tunnel, a new type of self-balanced shield tunnel cable support system is proposed. The safety and rationality of this system has been validated by the structure calculation, the finite element analysis of ADINA and the full scale model test. The analysis shows that the system has some advantages, such as excellent whole mechanical characteristics, strong adaptability, convenient construction and low cost. The system can fully satisfy all requirements of the cable tunnel construction and all functions of operation. The stress distribution of the structure is relatively homogeneous, the bearing capacity of components and the global stability of it also meet the requirements. With the test load which is about 1.5 ~ 4.0 times as large as design load, the support system displacement is 0.65 ~ 2.5 mm, which shows that the structure is safe and reliable. The research achievements can provide theoretical basis and experimental basis for the design of large cross-section cable tunnel.
