[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the demand for the development of underground space is increasing. As a common underground engineering construction method, ultra-shallow tunneling is widely used in the construction of subways, underground passages, etc. However, the construction of ultra-shallow tunneling will inevitably cause disturbance of the rock and soil, resulting in changes in the internal stress state of the rock and soil, and then deformation of the rock and soil. Due to the complex geological conditions and cumbersome construction process, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the ground and surface buildings, especially the ground subsidence problem, which not only affects the construction safety, but also may cause damage to surface buildings and cause safety impacts on underground facilities under construction. Especially for urban rail transit underground tunneling stations, the excavation section area is large, there are many surrounding buildings and pipelines, and the construction environment is very complex. Therefore, by analyzing the impact of underground tunneling station construction on surface buildings, proposing corresponding construction control standards is a key issue in the design and construction control of underground rail transit stations. In this process, how to monitor the ground subsidence and the impact of surface buildings in real time during the construction of tunneling tunnels, timely warn and take corresponding measures, has become an urgent problem to be solved in the current tunnel construction field. Summary of the invention

[0030] (Note: Only a schematic description of the illustration is provided here. The actual illustration should be drawn according to the specific technical content to show in detail the relationship and working principle of each module.) DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In practical application, the implementation process of the present invention is as follows:

[0032] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 5 : First, the geological data along the tunnel is obtained through the geological survey module, a reasonable excavation support plan is designed based on the geological data, and settlement monitoring points are set above the tunnel. At the same time, stress sensors and displacement sensors are installed on the surface buildings to monitor the stress changes and displacement of the buildings in real time.

[0033] In the early stage of dark tunnel construction, the data acquisition module collects geological survey data, construction monitoring data, and basic data of ground and surface buildings. Through analysis, technical personnel set the safety warning standard value in the adaptive warning threshold adjustment module.

[0034] During the tunnel construction process, the settlement detection module and the building detection module collect geological survey data, construction monitoring data and basic data of surface buildings in real time, and transmit the data to the data processing module. The data processing module analyzes and judges the received data according to the preset warning value and generates warning information. If the ground settlement or building stress displacement exceeds the warning value, the warning output module will output the warning information to the display terminal to remind the construction personnel to take corresponding countermeasures.

[0035] Secondly, the construction workers responded quickly to the early warning information and activated the emergency plan. If the ground settlement exceeds the preset warning line, the construction workers will immediately stop the excavation work and reinforce the excavated part to slow down the settlement. At the same time, the settlement monitoring points are arranged more densely and the monitoring frequency is increased to grasp the settlement situation more accurately.

[0036] In the event that the stress displacement of a building exceeds the warning value, the construction workers will first temporarily support and reinforce the building to prevent further damage. Then, through comprehensive analysis of geological survey data, construction monitoring data and basic building data, the cause of excessive stress displacement will be found, and the construction plan will be adjusted to optimize the excavation support structure to reduce the impact on the building.

[0037] In order to further improve the safety and efficiency of tunnel construction, the present invention also introduces an intelligent analysis module. Based on big data and machine learning technology, this module conducts in-depth mining and analysis of geological survey data, construction monitoring data and basic data of buildings, and extracts information that is instructive for tunnel construction. Through the intelligent analysis module, construction personnel can more accurately predict the trend of geological changes and the development of building stress displacement, so as to formulate a more scientific and reasonable construction plan.

[0038] In addition, the system is highly visual and interactive. By combining geographic information system (GIS) technology, the system can combine real-time monitoring data with geographic information to achieve spatial analysis and visualization. This enables construction personnel to intuitively understand the impact of ground subsidence and surface buildings during tunnel construction, so as to formulate countermeasures more accurately and improve the efficiency and accuracy of construction management.

[0039] Finally, the data storage and query function stores the collected and processed data in the database, which is convenient for construction personnel to conduct subsequent queries and analyses. By querying historical data, construction personnel can understand various situations during the tunnel construction process, summarize experiences and lessons, and provide reference for similar projects in the future.

[0040] The specific standards for controlling surface subsidence are as follows:

[0041] When urban underground projects are excavated, the surface settlement caused will have a great impact on ground buildings, especially excessive surface settlement or uneven settlement will cause the surface buildings to tilt. The "Code for Design of Building Foundations" (GB50007-2011) has made relevant provisions on the allowable value of foundation deformation of buildings. Therefore, the allowable value of corresponding surface settlement can be checked according to the allowable value of the inclination of surface buildings. In underground projects, a large number of researchers have studied the problem of surface settlement caused by engineering excavation, and the most convenient method is to use the Peck curve to calculate the surface settlement caused by underground engineering excavation. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0042]

[0043] Where: S(x) represents the surface settlement at a distance x from the station axis, and i represents the distance from the inflection point of the surface settlement curve to the station axis.

[0044] In formula (1.1), the inflection width i in the surface settlement curve can be calculated by the empirical formula:

[0045]

[0046] Where: H is the station cover thickness, R is the calculation radius.

[0047] That is, the maximum allowable surface settlement is:

[0048]

[0049] Where: [f] represents the allowable inclination value of the surface building.

[0050] The assessment criteria for surface building damage are as follows:

[0051] Generally, the ultimate tensile strain of the building structure can be used to measure the crack damage, which is also the basis for the evaluation of building structure damage classification. The following is the correlation between the building structure damage classification and the ultimate tensile strain:

[0052]

[0053] According to the influence of station construction on ground settlement and deformation, surface buildings, and the interaction between surface buildings and foundation soil, a three-stage evaluation analysis method can be used to evaluate the influence of station construction on building damage. The evaluation process of the three-stage evaluation method is as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0054] The first stage of evaluation: the Greenfeld surface settlement method is used, that is, the existence of surface buildings above the station is not considered first, and the Peck surface settlement empirical formula method or numerical calculation method can be used to calculate the surface settlement deformation.

[0055] The second stage evaluation: The evaluation method of this stage can be called the isolation method, that is, the surface building and its foundation are regarded as different parts, the building structure is assumed to be an elastic beam structure, and the building foundation is assumed to be flexible, which fully conforms to the foundation settlement deformation curve. The specific evaluation steps are as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0056] Evaluation in the third stage: The analysis in this stage can be called the overall analysis method, which mainly uses numerical calculation analysis methods to consider the interaction between the foundation and the upper building structure.

[0057] In summary, the present invention provides a real-time monitoring system for the construction process of an ultra-shallow dark excavation tunnel, which has the advantages of real-time monitoring, accurate early warning, and convenient construction, and is helpful to improve the safety and efficiency of tunnel construction. The implementation process of the present invention not only focuses on the real-time and accuracy of geological surveys and construction monitoring, but also improves the safety and efficiency of tunnel construction by introducing intelligent analysis modules and data storage and query functions.
