Numbering Analysis of Ground Settlement by Shield Method Based on the Model of Corrected ‘Equivalent Circle Zone’

Abstract:

Through the analysis of ‘gap parameter’ and ground movement pattern in shield tunnel, this paper researched and corrected the model of ‘equivalent circle zone’ proposed by predecessors. The ‘equivalent circle zone’, which is a comprehensive reflection of shield gap, grouting filling and stratum perturbation, is considered to be unequal thickness in this paper. With the measured data of practical shield tunneling, the unknown parameters of corrected ‘equivalent circle model’ can be obtained by back analysis through numbering analysis. The back analysis of Shen Zhen line-5 is carried out to validate the rationality of the method proposed in this paper. Research shows that: the corrected model can reflect the feature and values of ground settlement more factually than the previous model and can offer a reference to predict ground deformation during shield tunneling.
