[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of shield tunnel anti-rotation, in particular to a crossing normal fault shield tunnel anti-rotation device and its installation and control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Active fault zones are widely distributed in China. Although relevant norms of countries around the world indicate that active fault zones should be avoided as much as possible when structures are built, due to the limitation of topography and geomorphology in the selection of large structures, a large number of faults have not been explored, and other reasons, it is difficult to avoid the tunnel crossing the active fault zone. At present, there are rich cases of crossing active faults in traffic tunnel engineering. Under the action of fault dislocation, shield tunnel may occur tunnel instability, joint opening, segment misalignment, segment damage and cracking, concrete crushing, joint shear failure, surrounding rock collapse, water leakage or gushing, and other fault disasters.
