Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of underground structure design, and more specifically to a calculation method for the deformation of adjacent tunnels induced by foundation pit excavation, taking into account spatial effects. Background Technology

[0002] Urban subways, with their massive passenger capacity and relatively high operating speed, are increasingly demonstrating their ability to alleviate urban traffic congestion. Therefore, ensuring the safe and stable operation of subways is receiving increasing attention. As the commercial value along subway lines becomes more significant, there are more and more engineering projects involving the construction of adjacent subway tunnels. The loading and unloading caused by construction will lead to additional deformation and internal forces in adjacent tunnels. When these forces accumulate to a certain extent, they will cause various degrees of tunnel damage, such as segment joint opening and water seepage, seriously affecting the safe operation of subway tunnels. Excavation and unloading of the foundation pit will cause stress redistribution in the soil outside the pit, thus affecting the additional deformation and internal forces of adjacent tunnels. Numerous accidents involving damage to adjacent tunnels caused by foundation pit excavation have been reported both domestically and internationally. Therefore, it is necessary to study and analyze the response of adjacent tunnels caused by foundation pit excavation and assess tunnel safety before excavation.

[0003] Research methods for the environmental impact of foundation pit excavation mainly include numerical models and theoretical analysis. Three-dimensional numerical simulation can consider the spatial effects of foundation pit excavation and is relatively consistent with actual working conditions; however, its results depend on the accuracy of parameter selection, and the modeling is complex and computationally time-consuming. Theoretical analytical methods have clear principles and require less computation time, therefore they are often used in studies on the environmental impact of foundation pit excavation. However, existing theoretical methods use stress release coefficients to represent the magnitude of unloading induced by foundation pit excavation, and these stress release coefficients are fixed values. Due to the deformation of the retaining structure caused by foundation pit excavation, the lateral earth pressure outside the pit gradually changes from static earth pressure to active earth pressure, and its magnitude is closely related to the deformation of the retaining structure. Furthermore, due to the spatial effects of foundation pit excavation, the lateral earth pressure outside the pit is not a fixed value along the depth and length of the pit; its magnitude is determined by the deformation of the retaining structure. Therefore, a uniform stress release coefficient cannot be used to assess the magnitude of unloading on the entire foundation pit sidewall; the magnitude of the unloading induced by foundation pit excavation needs to be calculated in conjunction with the lateral deformation of the retaining structure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention provides a calculation method for the deformation of adjacent tunnels induced by foundation pit excavation, taking into account spatial effects.

[0005] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0006] A calculation method for deformation of adjacent tunnels induced by foundation pit excavation considering spatial effects includes the following steps:

[0007] (1) Determine the three-dimensional curve of the lateral deformation of the retaining wall;

[0008] (2) Determine the soil unloading caused by the deformation of the retaining wall induced by the excavation of the foundation pit;

[0009] (3) The deformation control equations of the adjacent tunnel were determined using the Winkler foundation and Timoshenko beam models;

[0010] (4) Determine the parameters to solve the deformation of the adjacent tunnel.

[0011] In the above technical solution, further, in step (1), a certain point on the retaining wall of the foundation pit is targeted. The formula for calculating its three-dimensional deformation is as follows:

[0015] In the formula, y0 is the coordinate along the length of the excavation pit, z0 is the coordinate along the depth of the excavation pit, and f max H represents the maximum deformation of the retaining wall closest to the tunnel side. max f max The location is defined by the following depths: H represents the excavation depth of the foundation pit, and D represents the insertion depth of the retaining wall. This is the length of the foundation pit.

[0016] Furthermore, step (2) specifically includes:

[0017] Establish the relationship between lateral earth pressure unloading and displacement:

[0022] At the location of the retaining wall, the deformation of the retaining wall is equal to the soil displacement. Therefore, the soil unloading caused by the deformation of the retaining wall induced by the excavation of the foundation pit is:

[0023]

[0024]

[0025] It is Poisson's ratio.

[0026] Furthermore, step (3) specifically includes:

[0027] The tunnel is simplified as a Timoshenko beam placed on the Winkler foundation, which is subjected to soil unloading. At that time, the differential equilibrium equation for the deformation of the adjacent tunnel is:

[0030] Using the finite difference method, the tunnel is divided into n equal parts, each with a length of l, and has a total of n+1 nodes; then the finite difference form of the above equation is transformed into:

[0031] In the formula For the horizontal deformation of the i-th tunnel node, The load on the i-th tunnel node

[0032] Assume the boundary conditions are that the tunnel ends are free, i.e., shear force. and Bending moment and All are 0:

[0033]

[0034] Each node i has a deformation control equation. If we write the n+1 deformation control equations as a system of equations and then rewrite them in matrix form, the matrix expression is:

[0056] In the formula, E s This is the elastic modulus of the soil.

[0057] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0058] This invention considers the impact of the spatial deformation of the retaining wall on the unloading of the soil outside the pit, thus overcoming the shortcomings of the original analysis method, which uses a constant unloading coefficient and does not consider the variation of the unloading coefficient with the depth and length of the retaining wall. Furthermore, it employs an analysis model that considers tunnel shear deformation, making the calculation model closer to the actual situation. Attached Figure Description

[0075] Calculate soil unloading induced by the deformation of the retaining structure

[0076] At the location of the retaining wall, the deformation of the retaining wall is equal to the displacement of the soil. Therefore, the calculation formula for the soil unloading induced by the deformation of the retaining structure is as follows:

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] It is Poisson's ratio.

[0081] 3) The deformation control equations of the adjacent tunnel were determined using the Winkler foundation and Timoshenko beam models.

[0082] The tunnel is simplified as a Timoshenko beam placed on the Winkler foundation, which is subjected to soil unloading. At that time, the differential equilibrium equation for the deformation of the adjacent tunnel is:

[0083]

[0084] In the formula, E t I t For the equivalent bending stiffness of the tunnel, (κGA) eq Let w(y) be the equivalent shear stiffness of the tunnel, w(y) be the horizontal deformation of the tunnel, k be the foundation reaction coefficient, and D be the equivalent shear stiffness of the tunnel. t The diameter of the tunnel, due to In the diagram, x and z represent the distance from the tunnel axis to the foundation pit and the burial depth, respectively. These can be determined in advance and can therefore be simplified as follows: .

[0085] Using the finite difference method, the tunnel is divided into n equal parts, each of length l, with a total of n+1 nodes. The finite difference form of the above equation then transforms into:

[0086] In the formula, For the horizontal deformation of the i-th tunnel node, Let be the load on the i-th tunnel node.

[0087] The boundary condition is that the tunnel ends are free, i.e., shear force. and Bending moment and All are 0:

[0088]

[0089] Each node i has a deformation control equation. If we write the n+1 deformation control equations as a system of equations and then rewrite them in matrix form, the matrix expression is:
