Effect of Time-Varying on Shield Tunnel Lining Structure

Abstract:

In order to survey the time-varying effect on shield tunnel lining structure, rigidity reduce in the Homogeneous Ring Design Theory is introduced. There are three methods to evaluate the rigidity reduction caused by the aging effect. The first is the bending rigidity analysis method, which considers that the bending rigidity changes with the time-dependent stress and strain. The second is the method named the equivalent moment of inertia; the last is aging coefficient method. With the Homogeneous Ring Design Theory, the internal forces and displacement of the shield tunnel segment lining can be calculated. Based on the preliminary results, using the 1^st method, the reduced rigidity and the long-time displacement at different instants of time can be calculated. It is found that the concrete shrinkage and creep effect can’t be ignored in the segment design. The survey is beneficial to monitor the deformation of tunnel lining, and the maintenance of the segments. It will make the tunnel work steadily and safely during the using period.
