Especially in karst water-rich strata, the construction of large-diameter shield tunnels faces many challenges. In order to ensure the safety and efficiency of construction, advanced monitoring methods are needed to real-time master various parameters and states during tunnel construction.

[0003] Traditional geological exploration methods, such as ground-penetrating radar and advance drilling, although can reveal the stratum structure to a certain extent, in karst water-rich strata, due to the complexity and uncertainty of geological conditions, these methods are often difficult to accurately predict and identify the volume of rock layer caves, fault zones and water-rich areas of the stratum.

[0120] As can be seen from the above, this intelligent monitoring method effectively reduces construction safety problems such as water inrush, ground settlement, and shield deviation in karst water-rich strata by integrating various real-time monitoring technologies and algorithms. Combining distributed fiber optic sensor technology, seismic wave imaging technology, and water pressure monitoring technology, it realizes all-round dynamic monitoring of karst caves, water-rich areas, and shield forces; real-time monitoring data is analyzed through an adaptive algorithm, which can accurately predict the location of water inrush points, settlement distribution, and soil stability, avoiding potential risks in advance and ensuring the safety of the construction environment.

[0121] Based on algorithms such as thrust force calculation and dynamic adjustment of earth pressure balance, the operation stability of the shield machine in complex strata is ensured, thereby reducing unnecessary downtime and mechanical losses. Through seismic wave reflection and laser scanning technology, the volume and shape of karst caves can be accurately detected, avoiding cave-ins or mud and water gushing caused by blind construction; based on water pressure monitoring and risk assessment models, the water inrush risk can be effectively quantified, ensuring timely adoption of targeted measures such as grouting or drainage.

Their geological conditions are complex and the water inrush risk is high, often posing great challenges to underground engineering;

[0124] Furthermore, a large-diameter shield tunnel with a diameter of 12.8 meters and a total length of 4 kilometers is built in a certain karst water-rich stratum. During construction, the geological conditions are complex, including karst caves, fault zones, water-rich areas, etc., and there are high risks of water inrush and formation collapse.

The specific steps include:

[0240] Geological pre-judgment and karst cave identification:

[0241] Using seismic wave imaging technology in the early stage of construction to identify the location and scale of karst caves, and confirming about 15 karst caves with a total volume of about 8,200 cubic meters.

[0242] The karst cave area is pre-grouted in advance, consuming 5 million yuan in material costs.

[0243] Intelligent monitoring of shield construction:

[0244] Install distributed optical fiber sensors to monitor ground settlement. When the settlement rate is abnormal, the system automatically adjusts the propulsion force and cutter head rotation speed.

[0245] Analyze the groundwater level changes in real time and adjust the earth pressure balance parameters according to the water pressure dynamics.

[0246] Risk early warning system:

[0247] Based on the real-time monitoring data, the deep learning algorithm predicts the water gushing points, and drains are arranged in advance to avoid the shield machine from stopping work.

[0248] Key monitoring and construction parameters

[0249] Real-time monitoring data:

[0250] Allowable range of ground surface settlement: <20 mm (average settlement is 13.2 mm, meeting the standard).

[0251] Range of water pressure fluctuation: <0.5 MPa (water gushing was predicted 2 times and both were treated in advance).

[0252] System response time: <3 seconds

[0253] Advancing speed: After adjustment, the average is 6.2 meters per day, about 12% higher than traditional construction.

[0254] Analysis of effects and achievements

[0255] Safety:

[0256] Three major construction accidents that could have caused water gushing were avoided, ensuring the normal advancement of the shield machine.

[0257] The maximum ground surface settlement is controlled at 18.7 mm, without the risk of exceeding the standard.

[0258] Economic benefits:

[0259] Direct cost savings:

[0260] By identifying karst caves in advance and grouting, the emergency shutdown caused by water gushing was reduced, saving about 3.2 million yuan in costs.

[0261] Optimizing construction parameters reduced the tool wear rate, saving about 2 million yuan in equipment maintenance costs.

[0262] Indirect economic benefits:

[0263] The construction period was shortened by 15 days, saving about 200,000 yuan in management and rental costs per day, with a total savings of 3 million yuan.

[0264] Social benefits:

[0265] Through the precise control of the intelligent monitoring system, the complaints from residents caused by ground surface settlement and the risk of secondary disasters were reduced, improving the social recognition and brand image of the project.

[0266] The summary of economic benefit indicators is shown in Table 3 below;
