Title
Transverse Force Analysis Of Adjacent Shield Tunnel Caused By Foundation Pit Excavation Considering Deformation Of Retaining Structures
Abstract
In order to research the theory for the variety of transverse forces of the adjacent shield tunnels caused by foundation pits excavation, the effect mechanism of foundation pit excavation on the adjacent shield tunnel was analyzed. The sidewall unloading model of the foundation pit, considering the deformation of the retaining structures, was introduced to calculate the additional stress of soil caused by foundation pit excavation. On this basis, the additional confining pressure variation model of the adjacent shield tunnel was established, considering the influence of the longitudinal deformation. Take the deep foundation pit project by the side of the shield tunnel of Hangzhou Metro Line 2 as a case study, the variation in confining pressure distribution of the adjacent shield tunnel caused by foundation pit excavation was analyzed, and a simplified finite element model was established to calculate the internal force of the segment ring structure. Moreover, the influence factors were analyzed, such as the deformation of the foundation pit retaining structure, the clearance between the foundation pit and the adjacent tunnel, and the buried depth of the tunnel. The present study suggests that the foundation pit excavation reduces the confining pressure of the adjacent shield tunnel, increases the absolute value of bending moment and shear force, and decreases the axial force at the top and bottom of the tunnel's segment ring. With the increase in the deformation of the foundation pit's retaining structure, the absolute value of the additional confining pressure on the adjacent tunnel increases, and the response of the bending moment to the foundation pit excavation unloading is more obvious than the variation in the confining pressure. When the buried depth of the adjacent shield tunnel is deeper than the excavation depth of the foundation pit, the influence of the excavation on the tunnel will be obviously weakened. With the decrease in the distance between the pit and tunnel, the influence of the excavation on the tunnel will be enhanced.
