Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel engineering, and in particular to a method for calculating the initial reinforcement range of a shield tunnel in a water-rich sand and gravel stratum. Background Art

[0002] ‌With the acceleration of urbanization, the increase in population density, and the continuous increase in the development of urban underground space, the shield method has been widely used in the construction of urban tunnels due to its high efficiency, safety, and fully mechanized construction characteristics. Shield start refers to the construction process from the assembly and commissioning of the shield machine until the shield machine completely enters the interval tunnel and completes the trial excavation, that is, the process of the shield machine entering the soil and excavating along the designed route. Shield start is a key process in shield tunnel construction and is directly related to whether the shield tunnel can be smoothly constructed. ‌With the increase in the diameter of the shield and the increase in the complexity of the stratum environment, it is easy for the stratum and tunnel deformation values ​​to exceed the limit, or even serious accidents such as landslides, to occur during the shield start process. Reinforcement of the end soil before the shield starts is an effective means to solve the above problems.

[0003] The initial reinforcement range of the shield refers to the area where the end soil around the tunnel entrance is reinforced before the shield construction is carried out. In the existing research on the reinforcement of the initial end soil of the shield, although the construction method of the initial end soil reinforcement of the shield has been proposed, the reinforcement of the initial end soil of the shield under the conditions of water-rich sand and gravel strata has not been analyzed based on the characteristics of the stratum, and the reinforcement range of the end soil is mostly determined based on engineering experience. There is no calculation method for the initial reinforcement range of the shield in water-rich sand and gravel strata, and the accuracy is poor. With the increase of the diameter of the shield and the complexity of the stratum environment, the above construction method is difficult to effectively ensure the safety of the initial construction of the shield.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0054] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is applicable to the application scenario of the initial construction of the shield in water-rich sand and gravel formations. Since the current method for determining the soil reinforcement range of the initial end of the shield is basically determined by technical personnel based on engineering experience, the accuracy of this method is relatively low. And for water-rich sand and gravel formations, the existing method does not take into account the impact of the fluid-solid coupling phenomenon on the reinforcement range. When the tunnel shield construction is carried out in a soil layer or a water-rich sand layer with rich groundwater storage, the pore water pressure and permeability coefficient of the soil within the shield influence range will change with the excavation of the tunnel shield. At the same time, the stratum will also undergo consolidation settlement as the permeability coefficient decreases and the pore water pressure dissipates, eventually causing deformation of the tunnel and stratum.

[0055] Based on this, the technical solution of the present application is proposed. In the embodiment of the present application, a three-dimensional model of shield starting reinforcement in water-rich sand and gravel strata is established, and the three-dimensional model is structured and meshed. The three-dimensional model includes a physically simulated stratum, a starting shield shaft, a shield casing unit, a segment unit, and a grouting layer unit. The stratum distribution information of the shield starting construction section is obtained, and the physical parameters of the soil of each stratum are obtained according to the stratum distribution information, and the physical parameters include at least the permeability coefficient. The soil units of each stratum in the three-dimensional model are assigned corresponding soil physical parameters, and the soil units are assigned the corresponding soil physical parameters according to the groundwater level height and the permeability coefficient. The fluid-solid coupling model is established based on the permeability coefficient; the end soil reinforcement range is set, and the three-dimensional model before the shield starts is statically analyzed, and the initial stress is balanced; based on the three-dimensional model and the fluid-solid coupling model, the shield starts are simulated to obtain the corresponding surface settlement value and tunnel vertical displacement value; after changing the end soil reinforcement range, the above steps are repeated to obtain the surface settlement value and tunnel vertical displacement value corresponding to different end soil reinforcement ranges; according to the surface settlement value and tunnel vertical displacement value corresponding to different end soil reinforcement ranges, and in combination with the shield tunnel control standard, the optimal end soil reinforcement range for shield starting is obtained.

[0056] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application first establishes a three-dimensional model of shield starting reinforcement in water-rich sand and gravel formations, assigns corresponding physical parameters to the soil in the three-dimensional model according to the actual geological conditions of the project, and establishes a fluid-solid coupling model according to the groundwater level and the permeability coefficient of the soil unit, and then sets a variety of different end soil reinforcement ranges, and simulates the shield starting excavation process after each setting, and performs fluid-solid coupling simulation analysis during the simulation process. After the simulation is completed, the surface settlement values ​​and tunnel vertical displacement values ​​corresponding to different end soil reinforcement ranges are calculated, and finally, combined with the shield tunnel control standard, the optimal end soil reinforcement range for shield starting can be obtained. The embodiment of the present application fully considers the fluid-solid coupling phenomenon of water-rich sand and gravel formations in actual engineering, and improves the accuracy of shield starting simulation and reinforcement range calculation for water-rich sand and gravel formations.

[0057] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0058] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The method for calculating the initial reinforcement range of a shield in a water-rich sand and gravel stratum provided in an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0059] S1. Establish a three-dimensional model of shield starting reinforcement in water-rich sand and gravel strata, and perform structured grid division on the three-dimensional model. The three-dimensional model includes a physically simulated stratum 1, a starting shield shaft 2, a shield casing unit 4, a segment unit 5, and a grouting layer unit 6.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, according to the geological environment of the shield starting construction section, the FLAC3D finite element software is used to establish a three-dimensional model of the shield starting reinforcement in the water-rich sand and gravel stratum. The X direction of the three-dimensional model is the cross-sectional direction of the shield tunnel 3, the Y direction is the shield excavation direction, and the Z direction is the vertical direction.

[0061] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a three-dimensional model is shown. Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of the starting part of the shield in a three-dimensional model is shown. In the three-dimensional model, the size of the starting shield shaft 2 is 60m (length) × 40m (width) × 47m (height), the shield excavation diameter is 15.4m, the outer diameter of the segment unit 5 is 14.5m, the buried depth of the shield tunnel 3 is 30m, the groundwater level is 1m underground, the length of the shield casing unit 4 is 14m, and the ring width of the segment unit 5 is 2m; after considering the construction impact range, the size of the established three-dimensional model is 300m (length) × 300m (width) × 130m (height), and the three-dimensional The model is used to simulate the tunneling process of the shield machine on the soil body 7 to be excavated, wherein the segment unit 5 is used to resist soil pressure, groundwater pressure and other special loads in the shield simulation, and is the permanent lining structure of the shield tunnel 3. The grouting layer unit 6 is used to fill the gap between the segment unit 5 and the surrounding rock with grouting materials in the shield simulation to prevent the formation deformation and collapse caused by these gaps. After the grouting material is solidified, it can provide additional support force to enhance the stability of the shield tunnel 3. After solidification, the grouting layer forms a waterproof barrier to effectively prevent groundwater from penetrating into the tunnel through the gaps. By setting the segment unit 5 and the grouting layer unit 6, accurate simulation of the start of the shield can be achieved.

[0062] S2. Acquire the stratum distribution information of the shield tunneling starting construction section, and acquire the physical parameters of the soil of each stratum according to the stratum distribution information, wherein the physical parameters at least include the permeability coefficient.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the soil physical parameters of each stratum are obtained, specifically including:

[0064] According to the geological survey results of the shield construction starting section, the stratum lithology and stratum thickness are divided to obtain the stratum distribution information of the shield construction starting section. According to the stratum distribution information, the physical parameters of the soil after grouting reinforcement of each stratum are obtained through indoor tests. The physical parameters also include density, cohesion, friction angle, elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio.

[0065] The distribution information of water-rich sand and gravel strata and the physical parameters of each stratum in a certain shield starting construction section are shown in Table 1.

[0066] Table 1 Stratigraphic distribution information and physical parameter data

[0067]

[0068] S3. Assigning corresponding physical parameters to the soil units of each layer in the three-dimensional model, and establishing a fluid-solid coupling model according to the groundwater level height and the permeability coefficient of the soil unit.

[0069] For the soil unit of the stratum in the three-dimensional model, the physical parameters of the soil corresponding to the stratum in the shield starting construction section are assigned to it, that is, the physical parameters of the soil in the actual project. At the same time, considering the groundwater infiltration effect, the groundwater level is set to 1m underground, and the fluid-structure interaction model (FSI) is established according to the permeability coefficient of each soil layer. The fluid-solid coupling model is used to describe the interaction and mutual influence between fluid and solid in water-rich sand and gravel strata. Through the fluid-solid coupling model, the influence of solid deformation on fluid load and the influence of fluid reaction force on solid in water-rich sand and gravel strata can be determined, so that the shield starting simulation is closer to the actual working condition, thereby improving the accuracy of the shield starting simulation.

[0070] ‌S4. Set the end soil reinforcement range, conduct static analysis on the three-dimensional model before the shield starts, and balance the initial stress.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the end soil reinforcement range includes the transverse reinforcement length and the vertical reinforcement length. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the transverse reinforcement range is shown, in which the shaded part represents the transverse reinforcement area, and the transverse reinforcement length includes equal shield outer diameter side reinforcement length B, shield outer diameter top reinforcement length h1 and shield outer diameter bottom reinforcement length h2. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the longitudinal reinforcement range is shown, wherein the shaded portion represents the longitudinal reinforcement area, and the longitudinal reinforcement length is L.

[0072] In practical applications, various working conditions of the end soil reinforcement range can be set first. Specifically, in order to determine a reasonable transverse reinforcement length, the longitudinal reinforcement length L can be kept constant at 7m, and the transverse reinforcement length of the end soil can be taken as 1m, 3m, and 6m respectively, and a control condition of no reinforcement of the end soil can be set; then, the transverse reinforcement length of the end soil can be kept constant, and the longitudinal reinforcement length of the end soil can be taken as 7m, 20m, and 30m respectively. The specific working conditions are shown in Table 2.

[0073] Table 2 Data table of working conditions of end soil reinforcement range

[0074]

[0075] After setting the working conditions, set the end soil reinforcement range in sequence according to the working condition sequence number, and then perform static analysis on the three-dimensional model before the shield starts, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0076] S41. Set the boundary conditions of the 3D model and add the earth's gravity.

[0077] Specifically, the boundary conditions for the shield tunneling numerical simulation were set, the sides and bottom of the three-dimensional model were set as fixed boundaries, and the earth's gravity of 9.8 N / kg was added to the entire three-dimensional model.

[0078] S42. The Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic model is selected as the constitutive model for the shield starting simulation. The Mohr-Coulomb model is also called the shear failure criterion, which means that when the soil reaches the limit equilibrium state and fails, its cohesion and internal friction angle also reach the limit value of the soil shear strength.

[0079] S43, performing initial stress balance on the three-dimensional model in the state where the excavation of the starting shield shaft is completed but not yet started, so that the initial displacement of each grid unit in the three-dimensional model is zero, that is, clearing the initial displacement of each grid unit in the three-dimensional model before the shield starts.

[0080] S5. Based on the three-dimensional model and the fluid-solid coupling model, the shield start-up is simulated to obtain the corresponding surface settlement value and tunnel vertical displacement value.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the shield machine shell unit 4, the segment unit 5 and the grouting layer unit 6 are located at the location of the newly built tunnel. After the shield machine advance line breaks the tunnel door and kills the grid unit corresponding to the shield starting shaft, the shield starting is simulated, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0082] S51. Set the excavation steps of the shield machine, apply a thrust force in the excavation direction in front of the shield machine, and use the stiffness transfer method to simulate the excavation process of the leading line and the trailing line of the shield machine respectively.

[0083] Specifically, the tunneling simulation of the leading line and the trailing line of the shield machine includes the following steps respectively:

[0084] A. When the shield machine excavates to the nth step, the soil unit at the nth step tunnel position is killed, and the shield machine shell unit 4 at the nth step tunnel position is activated;

[0085] B. When the number of tunneling steps of the shield machine n is greater than a, the segment unit 5 at the position of the n-a+1-th tunnel step is activated, the grouting layer unit 6 at the position of the na-th tunnel step is activated, and the grouting pressure is applied vertically to the wall surface corresponding to the activated grouting layer unit 6;

[0086] C. Set the grouting layer unit 6 at the na-th tunnel position to a liquid state (elastic modulus 0.5 MPa), the grouting layer unit 6 at the na-1-th tunnel position to a solidified state (elastic modulus 280 MPa), and the grouting layer unit 6 at the na-2-th tunnel position to a solid state (elastic modulus 400 MPa).

[0087] Wherein, a represents the preset excavation step number, and a can be set according to the set excavation step number and shield machine size. In the embodiment of the present application, a total of 20 excavation steps are set in the entire simulation process. Figure 7 After the leading line of the shield machine enters the soil as a whole, that is, after 7 excavation steps, the rear line of the shield machine starts to start, and the value of a is 6.

[0088] When the number of excavation steps n of the shield machine is 7, the soil unit at the 7th step tunnel position is first killed, and the shield machine shell unit 4 at the 7th step tunnel position is activated, and then the segment unit 5 at the 2nd step tunnel position is activated, and then the grouting layer unit 6 at the 1st step tunnel position is activated, and the grouting pressure is applied vertically to the wall surface corresponding to the activated grouting layer unit 6, and then the grouting layer unit 6 at the 1st step tunnel position is set to liquid state.

[0089] When the number of excavation steps n of the shield machine is 8, the soil unit at the 8th step tunnel position is first killed, and the shield machine shell unit 4 at the 8th step tunnel position is activated, and then the segment unit 5 at the 3rd step tunnel position is activated, and then the grouting layer unit 6 at the 2nd step tunnel position is activated, and the grouting pressure is applied vertically to the wall surface corresponding to the activated grouting layer unit 6, and then the grouting layer unit 6 at the 2nd step tunnel position is set to liquid state, and the grouting layer unit 6 at the 1st step tunnel position is set to solidified state.

[0090] When the number of excavation steps n of the shield machine is 9, first kill the soil unit at the 9th step tunnel position, activate the shield machine shell unit 4 at the 9th step tunnel position, then activate the segment unit 5 at the 4th step tunnel position, and then activate the grouting layer unit 6 at the 3rd step tunnel position, and apply grouting pressure vertically to the wall surface corresponding to the activated grouting layer unit 6, then set the grouting layer unit 6 at the 3rd step tunnel position to liquid state, set the grouting layer unit 6 at the 2nd step tunnel position to solidified state, and set the grouting layer unit 6 at the 1st step tunnel position to solid state.

[0091] This is done by analogy until the tunneling process simulation of the leading and trailing lines of the shield machine is completed. By simulating details such as the end soil reinforcement range and the time-curing of the grouting layer unit 6, the accuracy of the shield machine start simulation and reinforcement range calculation can be further improved.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, the jacking force applied in the excavation direction in front of the shield machine is greater than the active earth pressure and less than the passive earth pressure, so as to ensure that the jacking force is sufficient to excavate the soil smoothly, while avoiding the influence of excessive jacking force on the starting simulation.

[0093] The calculation formula of the active earth pressure is as follows:

[0094] ;

[0095] The calculation formula of the passive earth pressure is as follows:

[0096] ;

[0097] in, represents the active earth pressure, represents the passive earth pressure, represents the number of strata at the tunnel location, Indicates The active earth pressure coefficient of the stratum is Indicates The passive earth pressure coefficient of the stratum is Indicates Soil weight of each layer (kN / m3), Indicates Soil thickness of each stratum (m), Indicates The soil cohesion of each layer (kPa).

[0098] S52. After the tunneling process simulation of the leading line and the trailing line of the shield machine is completed, the corresponding surface settlement value and the vertical displacement value of the tunnel are obtained.

[0099] After the simulation is completed, the simulation software automatically calculates the corresponding surface settlement value and tunnel vertical displacement value of the corresponding end soil reinforcement range. At the same time, the fluid-solid coupling model is used for fluid-solid coupling analysis during the calculation, so that the influence of solid deformation on fluid load and fluid reaction force on solid in water-rich sand and gravel formations can be considered when calculating surface settlement value and tunnel vertical displacement value, so that the shield starting simulation is closer to the actual working condition, thereby improving the accuracy of shield starting simulation and calculation of surface settlement value and tunnel vertical displacement value.

[0100] S6. After changing the end soil reinforcement range, repeat S4 to S5 to obtain the surface settlement values ​​and tunnel vertical displacement values ​​corresponding to different end soil reinforcement ranges.

[0101] After completing the current working condition simulation of the end soil reinforcement range, the end soil reinforcement range is set to the next working condition, and steps S4 to S5 are repeated to obtain the surface settlement values ​​and tunnel vertical displacement values ​​under all working conditions of the end soil reinforcement range.

[0102] S7. According to the surface settlement values ​​and tunnel vertical displacement values ​​corresponding to different end soil reinforcement ranges and combined with the shield tunnel control standards, the optimal end soil reinforcement range for shield tunneling is obtained.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the optimal end soil reinforcement range includes the optimal transverse reinforcement length and the optimal vertical reinforcement length. The method for determining the optimal transverse reinforcement length and the optimal vertical reinforcement length specifically includes:

[0104] The maximum surface settlement value and the maximum tunnel vertical displacement value corresponding to the soil reinforcement range at different ends are determined, the surface settlement threshold and the tunnel vertical displacement threshold are determined according to the shield tunnel control standard, and the optimal transverse reinforcement length and the optimal vertical reinforcement length are determined according to the maximum surface settlement value and the surface settlement threshold value as well as the maximum tunnel vertical displacement and the tunnel vertical displacement threshold value.

[0105] In practical applications, a deformation curve can be drawn based on the surface settlement values ​​and tunnel vertical displacement values ​​under all working conditions within the end soil reinforcement range. The deformation curve includes a surface settlement curve diagram under different transverse reinforcement lengths, a tunnel vertical displacement curve diagram under different transverse reinforcement lengths, a surface settlement curve diagram under different longitudinal reinforcement lengths, and a tunnel vertical displacement curve diagram under different longitudinal reinforcement lengths.
