Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of simulating the excavation face of orthogonal shield tunnels, and more particularly to a numerical calculation method for the influence of detailed structures of orthogonal shield tunnels. Background Technology
[0002] The shield tunneling method is a fully mechanized construction method in the cut-and-cover method. It involves advancing the shield machine underground, using the shield shell and segments to support the surrounding rock and prevent collapse into the tunnel. At the same time, cutting devices are used to excavate the soil in front of the excavation face, and the soil is transported out of the tunnel by excavation machinery. Jacks are used to pressurize and push the tunnel forward from the rear, and precast concrete segments are assembled to form the tunnel structure.
[0003] In simulating the impact of shield tunnel face instability on the detailed structure of existing orthogonal shield tunnels, the use of a one-time modeling three-dimensional finite element method results in a large number of model entities and elements due to the need to simulate the detailed structure of the shield tunnel, leading to various problems such as excessively long calculation time or non-convergence. Therefore, a numerical calculation method for the impact of orthogonal shield tunnel detailed structure is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Step 1: Based on the background information, establish the first-stage 3D finite element model, as shown in the attached manual. Figure 1 As shown, the existing orthogonal shield tunnel is simulated using beam elements embedded in soil elements, satisfying displacement compatibility relationships with the soil elements. The shield excavation face instability is simulated by changing the displacement constraints.
[0023] Step 2: Perform the first-stage three-dimensional finite element simulation calculation to extract the existing orthogonal shield tunnel's vertical displacement curve z=f(x) and horizontal displacement curve y=f(x). Schematic diagrams of the vertical and horizontal displacement curves are shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 2 As shown.
[0024] Step 3: Perform the second stage of refined 3D finite element modeling, that is, apply refined modeling to the orthogonal shield tunnel, as shown in the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 3 As shown, both the pipe segments and bolts are modeled using solid elements. The connection between pipe segments is simulated by embedding bolts into the pipe segment elements. Contact surfaces are also established between the pipe segments, with the normal direction of the contact surfaces set to be under compression only, and the tangential direction set to frictional contact. The interaction between the pipe segments and the soil is simulated using soil springs, which are set to be under compression only, not tension.

The specific application method is as follows: ① Couple the deformation of each tunnel subdivision element to its corresponding center position; ② Apply the vertical and horizontal displacement curves to the center line formed by the corresponding centers by applying displacement constraints.
[0026] Step 5: Perform the second stage of three-dimensional finite element calculation to obtain the physical and mechanical response laws of existing orthogonal shield tunnel segments, bolts and joints under the instability of the shield excavation face.
