For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] Please refer to Figs. 1 to 4 The present application provides a shield construction method for underpassing an existing operating subway line, comprising the following steps: S1, obtaining a structural deformation cloud map according to the positional relationship between the shield tunnel and the existing line, in combination with the soil layer parameters; S2, performing five-stage settlement control of shield tunneling based on the structural deformation cloud map; Among them: the five-stage settlement control of shield tunneling includes cutter head front settlement control, cutter head excavation settlement control, shield machine directly above settlement control, shield tail pipe piece part settlement control and formed tunnel above lag settlement control.

[0024] The shield construction method for underpassing an existing operating subway line provided by the present application controls the cutter head front, cutter head excavation, shield body above, shield tail pipe piece and formed tunnel above lag settlement during the shield machine crossing the existing operating line, so as to fully reinforce the existing line, which ensures the continuous construction of shield tunneling and also ensures the safety of the existing line.

[0025] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the specific implementation of step S1 is that, according to the positional relationship between the shield tunnel and the existing line, in combination with the soil layer parameters (the soil layer parameters are selected according to the actual geological exploration report), a large finite element software Midas GTSNX is used to analyze the influence of shield construction on the deformation of the existing operating subway line, so as to obtain a structural deformation cloud map, and the structural deformation cloud map is used as the theory and data basis for the control of subsequent construction steps.

[0026] In order to specifically explain the cutter head front settlement control, the cutter head front settlement control is performed. S2.1, establish the soil chamber pressure, so that the ground surface settlement amount within 3 times the hole diameter range in front of the cutter head is (-2)-2mm.

[0027] It should be noted that the soil chamber pressure is balanced with the stratum soil pressure and the hydrostatic pressure, so the calculation formula of the soil chamber pressure is: P=K*P0; P0=γ*h; Wherein: P is the soil chamber pressure; P0 is the sum of the center formation hydrostatic pressure and the soil pressure; γ is the average specific gravity of the soil; h is the vertical distance from the center of the cutter head to the ground; K is the lateral static soil pressure coefficient.

[0028] During construction, the soil chamber pressure is adjusted according to the monitoring situation and monitoring data to ensure that the ground settlement within 3 times the diameter of the cutter head is (-2) -2mm.

[0029] In order to specifically explain the cutter head excavation settlement control and reduce the disturbance of the shield machine to the soil as much as possible, the cutter head excavation settlement control comprises the following steps: S2.2.1, the shield tunneling is carried out in a low cutter head speed and low tunneling speed mode; S2.2.2, the shield tunneling earth volume is controlled; Wherein: the cutter head speed is 0.8-1.0rpm; the tunneling speed is 20-30mm.

[0030] In order to specifically explain the implementation of step S2.2.2, the control of the shield tunneling earth volume comprises the following steps: S2.2.2.1, the shield tunneling earth volume per ring is calculated; S2.2.2.2, the theoretical shield tunneling earth volume is obtained according to the shield tunneling earth volume per ring; S2.2.2.3, the actual shield tunneling earth volume / theoretical shield tunneling earth volume=98-100%.

[0031] It should be noted that the calculation formula of the shield tunneling earth volume per ring is: M=k1*1 / 4*π*D2*L / loop; Wherein: M is the shield tunneling earth volume per ring; k1 is the looseness coefficient of the excavated soil; D is the excavation diameter of the shield machine; L is the single cycle footage length (i.e. the segment width).

[0032] It should be noted that when the above steps are performed, the actual earth volume is controlled by using a belt conveyor earth weighing device and a gantry crane weighing system double control mode, and the residual earth in the residue hopper is completely emptied, which facilitates manual checking of the earth volume and prevents over-excavation.

[0033] In order to specifically explain the shield machine directly above settlement control, the shield machine directly above settlement control means: S2.3, using the radial grouting hole of the shield body, injecting slurry synchronously when the shield machine is tunneling, filling the gap between the shield body outside and the tunneling tunnel.

[0034] Since the main machine of the shield machine is composed of a cutter head, a shield body (a front shield, a middle shield and a shield tail), the diameter of the cutter head is usually 1-2 cm larger than the diameter of the shield body, with tunneling, a gap will be formed between the shield body and the soil, and the synchronous grouting filling part is behind the shield tail, which cannot fill the gap of the shield body, and the tunneling process itself disturbs the soil, and there is a settlement risk above the shield body, therefore, through the above steps, the gap is quickly filled, thereby effectively dealing with and solving the settlement risk caused by the situation.

[0035] In order to further explain the specific components of the slurry, the components of the slurry include, in parts by weight: sand and gravel: 930-1298 parts, fly ash: 330-380 parts, lime: 40-80 parts, bentonite: 50-100 parts, external admixture: 3-3.5 parts, and water: 280-380 parts; Among them: the consistency of the slurry is 9-12 cm.

[0036] It should be noted that the calculation formula of the grouting amount of the slurry is: V1=k2*1 / m; Among them: V1 is the grouting amount of the slurry; k2 is the difference between the excavation area of the cutter head and the cross-sectional area of the shield body.

[0037] Preferably, in order to shorten the setting time of the above-mentioned slurry, the components of the slurry further include cement: 20-50 parts, in order to change the performance of the slurry.

[0038] In order to specifically explain the control of the settlement of the pipe piece part out of the shield tail, the control of the settlement of the pipe piece part out of the shield tail is: S2.4, synchronously press and inject thick slurry through the external grouting pipe of the shield machine during the advancing process to fill the gap between the pipe piece and the tunnel soil.

[0039] Among them: the grouting amount of the thick slurry in the upper part is 70-80%, the grouting amount of the thick slurry in the lower part is 20-30%; the specific gravity of the thick slurry is ≥1.8 g / cm 3 ; the water absorption rate of the thick slurry is ≤5%; the consistency of the thick slurry is 9-12 cm; the grouting pressure of the thick slurry is 0.4-0.5 MPa.

[0040] Since the outer diameter of the pipe piece is smaller than the outer diameter of the shield body, when the pipe piece is out of the shield tail, a gap will be formed between the pipe piece and the soil, thereby causing a settlement risk, therefore, through the above steps, the settlement risk caused by the situation is effectively controlled; in order to consider that the slurry will deposit in the lower part due to its own gravity, thereby affecting the ground settlement and causing the pipe piece to float, the grouting amount of the thick slurry in the upper part is limited to 70-80%, and the grouting amount of the thick slurry in the lower part is 20-30%.

[0041] It should be noted that in the embodiment, a pressure sensor is arranged at the outlet of each grouting pump to detect and control the grouting pressure and grouting amount of each grouting pipe, so as to realize symmetrical and uniform pressure grouting behind the segment.

[0042] It should be noted that the calculation formula of the thick grouting amount is: V2=k3*1 / 4*(D2-d2)*π*L; Wherein, V2 is the grouting amount of the thick grouting; D is the excavation diameter of the shield machine; d is the outer diameter of the segment; L is the single cycle footage length (i.e. the segment width); k3 is the filling rate (the value range is 130-200%).

[0043] In order to specifically explain the lagging settlement control above the formed tunnel, the lagging settlement control above the formed tunnel comprises the following steps: S2.5.1, when the thick grouting is initially cured, a cement-sodium silicate double grout is used for first segment wall back grouting at the upper part of the segment 3-9 points; S2.5.2, after the first segment wall back grouting is completed for 6-8 hours, second segment wall back grouting is performed; Wherein, the water-cement ratio of the double grout is (0.8-1):1; the ratio of water glass to water of the double grout is 1:1.5; the grouting pressure of the double grout is 0.3-0.5 MPa.

[0044] Since the thick grouting will shrink to a certain extent after curing, thereby causing lagging settlement, in order to avoid the possible settlement risk in the subsequent process, the shrinkage amount is supplemented through the above steps, so as to effectively cope with the settlement risk caused by this situation.

[0045] Preferably, the embodiment can also be optimized and controlled from the following aspects: (1) According to the working condition, the control parameters and measures of shield tunneling are simulated, the influence of shield machine crossing on the existing line is deduced, and the settlement control method is improved.

[0046] (2) The posture of the shield machine strictly advances according to the designed route, and the posture is adjusted according to the principle of "frequent correction, slow correction" during tunneling, and the posture change of small amplitude correction is ≤3mm per ring.

[0047] (3) P, k2, k3 and the back wall grouting pressure are determined by the test section, which meets the five settlement stages of shield tunneling, i.e. the front of the cutter head, the cutter head excavation, the top of the shield body, the segment at the tail of the shield, and the lagging settlement above the formed tunnel, which is controlled in a micro-undulating state, and the settlement amount is controlled in the range of (-2)-2mm.

[0048] (4) Existing line settlement monitoring uses automatic monitoring system, after entering the influence range of the crossing section, the monitoring is encrypted, and a monitoring report is generated once an hour to guide the adjustment of the excavation construction parameters.

[0049] (5) At the construction organization level, before the shield machine reaches the influence range of the crossing, the shield machine and the supporting equipment are comprehensively maintained, the spare parts of the easily damaged components are in place, the construction materials are prepared in sufficient quantity, the external environment such as earthwork external transportation is coordinated, and the continuous construction is ensured.

[0050] (6) Non-planned shutdown measures are formulated to avoid uncontrollable settlement during the period.

[0051] The above specific embodiments further specifically describe the purposes, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present application. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present application and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
