Test of Solidification Characteristics of Grouting and the Effect on Strata Deformation in Shield Tunnelling

Article Preview

Abstract:

Back-fill Grouting is a key procedure for the active control of strata settlement during shield tunnelling in civil engineering. The paper studies the stress - strain characteristics of grouting and the state of grout, which changes from liquid to solid over time and is simulated by variable rigid body. The model of flowing state are divided in four phases from liquid-plastic to rigid state. The paper establish a numerical model of shield tunnelling in civil engineering with the consideration of characteristics of grout deformation, and has analyzed law of strata settlement. The test results show that the calculation method can well accord with the four stages of strata deformation, and can more accurately reflect the process of strata deformation caused by shield tunneling.
