Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of shaft structures for the initiation or reception of shield tunnels in underground tunnel engineering, specifically providing a shield tunnel construction and construction method using a temporary shield shaft structure. Background Technology
[0002] In underground tunnel construction using the shield tunneling method, vertical shafts are located at both ends of the tunnel for launching or receiving the shield. In some projects, to increase the working face for excavation and material feeding, or for maintenance of the shield machine, a vertical shaft may also be constructed at a location in the middle of the tunnel. These shafts are called shield shafts, and they function to receive and launch shields. Shield shafts are generally constructed using the open-cut method, with the secondary lining structure poured within the foundation pit. After the shield tunnel construction is completed, this structure is usually topped with a roof slab, becoming part of the tunnel. It is designed and constructed as a permanent structure.
[0003] Shield tunnel shafts are generally quite high, extending from near the ground level to below the tunnel floor. For shield tunnels with significant burial depth, the remaining shafts are essentially useless redundant space unless they can be used for tunnel ventilation or escape routes. This increases safety hazards within the tunnel and wastes valuable underground space. Moreover, shield tunnel shafts are designed as permanent structures, and to ensure durability, their walls are often quite thick. Therefore, it is urgent to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

A shield tunnel passes through the shield shaft, and shield segments are installed within the shield tunnel. Within the shield shaft, the shield tunnel is connected to the shield shaft by removing its existing shield segments. The shield shaft is a temporary shield shaft 200, within which a cast-in-place tunnel 300 is installed as a permanent structure and is sealed to the shield segments 101 of the shield tunnels 100 at both ends. Backfill soil 400 is filled into the temporary shield shaft above the cast-in-place tunnel to the ground level.

The end of the shield tunnel segment penetrates the shaft wall and is embedded in the annular groove to form a socket-type connection; the inner annular surface of the cast-in-place tunnel is flush with the inner annular surface of the shield tunnel segment to form a smoothly connected tunnel interior 103; the concrete secondary lining structure of the cast-in-place tunnel is connected to the shield tunnel segment by bolts 102; the two ends of the limiting protrusion ring 302 abut against the inner surface of the temporary shield shaft wall; a gap 201 is provided between the shield tunnel segment and the temporary shield shaft wall and is filled with C20 concrete, and the gap 201 is blocked by the limiting protrusion ring.
[0008] The shield tunnel structure employing a temporary shield shaft includes a waterproof membrane 5 laid on the outer ring surface and both end faces of the cast-in-place tunnel, and an external waterstop 6 added on the basis of the waterproof membrane at the joint with the temporary shield shaft. Multiple layers of waterstop adhesive 7 are installed at the joint between the cast-in-place tunnel and the shield segment.
[0009] The shield tunnel structure employing a temporary shield shaft is described above, wherein the outer contour shape of the cross-section of the cast-in-place tunnel facade is rectangular.
[0010] The shield tunnel structure using a temporary shield shaft is described above, wherein the gap 202 between the waterproof layer set on both sides and bottom of the cast-in-place tunnel and the shaft wall is filled with C20 concrete backfill soil.

[0017] ⑥ The shield shaft is set as a temporary shield shaft, and the concrete is poured inside the shield shaft. molded The tunnel, namely the cast-in-place tunnel 300, is connected to the shield tunnel segments at both ends by bolts, thus completing the shield tunnel.
[0018] ⑦ Fill the upper part of the cast-in-place tunnel in the temporary shield shaft with backfill soil down to the ground.
[0019] The construction method for a shield tunnel using a temporary shield shaft structure, wherein step ⑥ involves casting a precast tunnel structure within the shield shaft, includes the following steps.
[0020] ① Apply the underlying backfill layer;
[0021] ② Lay waterproof base slab and waterproof lower side walls;
[0022] ③ Cast the base slab and lower side wall structure;

[0024] ⑤ Lay waterproofing on the roof slab and the remaining side walls.
[0025] The construction method for a shield tunnel using a temporary shield shaft structure, wherein steps ② and ⑤, during waterproofing, involve installing waterproofing connections at both ends of the cast-in-place tunnel structure and the joints between the tunnel segments. This method includes the following steps:
[0026] ① A layer of water-stop adhesive is installed on the outer surface and end face of the shield tunnel segment;
[0027] ② An L-shaped grouting pipe 8 is installed at the joint between the end face of the cast-in-place tunnel structure and the shield segment. One end of the pipe is located between two layers of water-stop sealant, and the other end extends out of the inner surface of the cast-in-place tunnel structure.
[0028] ③ Fill the gap 201 between the temporary shield shaft and the tunnel segment with C20 plain concrete;

[0031] ⑥ Casting and molding the tunnel structure;
[0032] ⑦ After the concrete of the cast-in-place tunnel structure reaches the design strength, grout is injected into the joint between the end face of the cast-in-place tunnel structure and the shield tunnel segment through the grouting pipe.
[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0034] This invention employs a temporary structure as the shield shaft structure, needed only during shield tunneling construction. After the shield tunneling is completed, a permanent tunnel lining is poured into the temporary shaft, connecting it to the shield segments at both ends of the shaft to form a permanent shield tunnel. The temporary shaft is then backfilled to ground level. Subsequently, the shield shaft structure above the tunnel can be easily removed as needed for later engineering work. This reduces unused space within the tunnel, minimizes the occupation of underground space, and improves structural efficiency. Attached Figure Description
