Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of geotechnical engineering, and particularly relates to a method, device and processing equipment for constructing a shield tunneling model for heterogeneous sand and gravel strata. Background Art

[0002] Shield method, mining method, open cut construction and cut-and-cover construction are common means for underground tunnel construction. Among them, the shield method, due to its high degree of mechanization, high construction efficiency, environmental friendliness and other characteristics, can effectively reduce the impact on the surrounding environment when applied in densely built-up urban areas, and can adjust construction parameters in real time to adapt to various geological conditions. Therefore, it is widely used in urban tunnel construction. Although the shield method has many advantages, it still faces many challenges under complex stratum conditions, especially when dealing with multiple complex strata, such as soft soil, sand and gravel mixed layer, hard rock and water-rich strata, etc. Shield construction is easily affected by seepage, water pressure and stratum inhomogeneity, resulting in problems such as stratum deformation, leakage and collapse. Therefore, the safety and stability control of shield construction has always been a research hotspot in the academic and engineering fields.

[0003] In the current modeling research on shield construction, the soil model assumes that the stratum is homogeneous or layer-wise homogeneous. Although this assumption simplifies the analysis process, it cannot accurately reflect the actual situation under complex stratum conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for constructing a shield tunneling model for heterogeneous sand and gravel strata that comprehensively considers the characteristics of heterogeneous strata and seepage effects. The shield tunneling model constructed by using this construction method can be applied to the analysis of complex stratum conditions, providing a theoretical basis and technical support for construction parameter optimization and safety control.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for constructing a shield tunneling model for heterogeneous sand and gravel strata. The construction method includes the following steps: Step S10: According to preset shield construction parameters, a finite element model of the shield structure is constructed. The finite element model of the shield structure includes a stratum model and a shield support mechanism model. Along the height direction of the stratum model, the stratum model includes an intermediate stratum, a bearing layer located above the intermediate stratum, and a bottom layer located below the intermediate stratum. A tunnel is excavated in the intermediate stratum; Step S20: Obtain the size data and volume of the intermediate stratum, and construct a finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation based on the size data and volume of the intermediate stratum. And the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates included in the finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation is 30% to 40% of the volume of the intermediate stratum; Step S30: First, merge the finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation with the intermediate stratum of the finite element model of the shield structure, and then define material properties, set contact conditions and interaction conditions for the merged model to construct a shield tunneling model for heterogeneous sand and gravel strata.

[0006] In a specific embodiment, the bearing layer is a soft stratum, the bottom layer is a dense stratum, and the intermediate stratum is a sand and gravel stratum.

[0007] In a specific embodiment, the thickness ratio of the bearing layer, the intermediate stratum and the bottom layer is: (3 - 5):(4 - 6):(10 - 12).

[0008] In a specific embodiment, the step of constructing a finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation based on the size data and volume of the intermediate stratum includes: Step (1): Generate a virtual space based on the size data of the intermediate stratum. The virtual space has the same size data as the intermediate stratum; Step (2): Obtain the geometric model of the original aggregate. Based on the geometric model of the original aggregate as the basic model, use a random function to generate random aggregate geometric models with different particle sizes in the virtual space, and randomly rotate and move the random aggregate geometric models to control that adjacent random aggregate geometric models do not overlap, to obtain a first three-dimensional discrete element model of aggregate accumulation. The first three-dimensional discrete element model of aggregate accumulation includes a multi-level graded aggregate model set, and the volume fraction of each level of graded aggregate model set satisfies a preset condition; Step (3): On the premise of keeping the central coordinates of each random aggregate geometric model unchanged, scale down each random aggregate geometric model by a preset ratio in equal proportion to obtain a second three-dimensional discrete element model of aggregate accumulation; Step (4): Through file format conversion, convert the second three-dimensional discrete element model of aggregate accumulation into the finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation.

[0009] In a specific embodiment, both the first aggregate accumulation three-dimensional discrete element model in step (2) and the second aggregate accumulation three-dimensional discrete element model in step (3) are constructed using the PFC3D software. Step (4) includes: step (a), exporting the second aggregate accumulation three-dimensional discrete element model as multiple STL files, and each STL file also carries the position information of the random aggregate geometric model; step (b), batch importing the STL files into MATLAB for data processing to obtain multiple IGES files; step (c), importing all the IGES files into Abaqus, and batch reading the IGES files through the Abaqus Python script to convert and obtain the heterogeneous aggregate accumulation finite element model.

[0010] In a specific embodiment, the multi-level graded aggregate model set includes a very large-sized aggregate model set with an equivalent particle size range of 3.8 m to 5 m, a large-sized aggregate model set with an equivalent particle size range of 2.8 m to 3.8 m, a medium-sized aggregate model set with an equivalent particle size range of 1.8 m to 2.8 m, and a small-sized aggregate model set with an equivalent particle size range of 1.0 m to 1.8 m.

[0011] In a specific embodiment, the shield support mechanism model includes a shield shell model for supporting the inner wall of the tunnel, a grouting layer model located within the shield shell model, and a lining segment model located within the grouting layer model.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, the definition of material properties includes: defining the elastic modulus of the aggregate, using a coupled elastoplastic model for the soil in the intermediate formation and defining the permeability coefficient and deformation characteristics of the soil, defining the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield criterion, cohesion, and internal friction angle of the intermediate formation, setting the shield shell model and the lining segment model in the shield support mechanism model to an impermeable condition, and defining mechanical parameters; the setting of the contact conditions includes the contact setting between the intermediate formation and the bottom layer, the contact setting between the intermediate formation and the bearing layer, the contact setting between the soil in the intermediate formation and the aggregate, the contact setting between the components in the shield support mechanism model, and the contact setting between the shield support mechanism model and the intermediate formation; the setting of the interaction conditions includes introducing a seepage field in the soil area of the intermediate formation and defining the pore pressure distribution of water and the coupling relationship between the pore pressure distribution of water and the mechanical behavior of the intermediate formation.

[0013] Second, the present invention provides a device for constructing a shield tunneling model for a heterogeneous sand and gravel formation. The construction device includes:

[0014] The first construction module is used to construct a finite element model of the shield structure according to preset shield construction parameters. The finite element model of the shield structure includes a formation model and a shield support mechanism model. Along the height direction of the formation model, the formation model includes an intermediate formation, a bearing layer located above the intermediate formation, and a bottom layer located below the intermediate formation. A tunnel is excavated in the intermediate formation. The second construction module is used to obtain the size data and volume of the intermediate formation, and construct a finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation based on the size data and volume of the intermediate formation. The sum of the volumes of all the aggregates included in the finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation is 30% - 40% of the volume of the intermediate formation. The third construction module is used to first merge the finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation with the intermediate formation of the finite element model of the shield structure, and then define material properties, set contact conditions and interaction conditions for the merged model to construct a shield tunneling model of heterogeneous sand and gravel formation. The intermediate formation of the shield tunneling model of heterogeneous sand and gravel formation is composed of soil and aggregates.

[0015] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a processing device, which includes: a processor and a memory. A computer program is stored in the memory. When the processor executes the computer program, the processing device implements the construction method described above.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention at least include:

[0017] 1. The method for constructing a shield tunneling model for heterogeneous sand and gravel strata provided by the present invention includes: Step S10: Construct a finite element model of the shield structure according to preset shield construction parameters. The finite element model of the shield structure includes a stratum model and a shield support mechanism model. Along the height direction of the stratum model, the stratum model includes an intermediate stratum, a bearing layer located above the intermediate stratum, and a bottom layer located below the intermediate stratum. The tunnel is excavated in the intermediate stratum; Step S20: Obtain the size data and volume of the intermediate stratum, and construct a finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation based on the size data and volume of the intermediate stratum. The sum of the volumes of all the aggregates included in the finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation is 30% - 40% of the volume of the intermediate stratum; Step S30: First, merge the finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation with the intermediate stratum of the finite element model of the shield structure, and then define material properties, set contact conditions and interaction conditions for the merged model to construct a shield tunneling model for heterogeneous sand and gravel strata. The intermediate stratum of the shield tunneling model for heterogeneous sand and gravel strata is composed of soil and aggregates. The construction method of the present invention fully considers the characteristics such as complex stratum particle gradation, significant permeability change, and uneven mechanical parameters. By merging the finite element model of heterogeneous aggregate accumulation with the intermediate stratum of the finite element model of the shield structure, the constructed shield tunneling model for heterogeneous sand and gravel strata can dynamically simulate the stratum response and stability change during the shield tunneling process, analyze key influencing factors such as shield driving force, earth pressure, and seepage pressure, and provide a theoretical basis and technical support for construction parameter optimization and safety control.

[0018] 2. The present invention batch generates a random aggregate geometric model through PFC software, and combines MATLAB tools to optimize and convert data formats to ensure compatibility with the Abaqus platform.

[0019] 3. The present invention establishes a mapping relationship between the microscopic structure and the macroscopic mechanical properties through finite element simulation technology, can accurately transfer the microscopic gradation characteristics to the macroscopic analysis, supports the simulation of the deformation and stress distribution of complex strata during the shield propulsion process, and provides an accurate data basis for construction optimization and mechanical analysis.

[0020] 4. The distribution of the random aggregates in the first aggregate accumulation three-dimensional discrete element model constructed by the present invention conforms to the Gaussian distribution, that is, the aggregate density in the tunnel center area is higher, and the aggregate density gradually decreases away from the shield tunneling area. This distribution method can ensure the full filling of aggregates in the tunnel core area while reducing the number of aggregates in the edge area, reducing the calculation amount, and improving the calculation efficiency.

[0021] In addition to the purposes, features, and advantages described above, the present invention has other purposes, features, and advantages. The following will refer to the drawings for a further detailed description of the present invention. Description of the Drawings

[0026] Figure 5 Module diagram of the device for constructing a shield tunneling model in a heterogeneous sand and gravel formation provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The method for constructing a shield tunneling model in a heterogeneous sand and gravel formation provided by the present invention is an improvement on the technical problem that the existing homogeneous formation cannot simulate complex formations, resulting in low accuracy of simulation results. By setting the formation as a three-layer structure and filling the middle formation with aggregates of different gradation particle sizes to form a heterogeneous sand and gravel formation, the constructed model not only takes into account the influence of complex formations on simulation results, but also can introduce a seepage field to consider the influence of seepage and water pressure on shield construction, making the simulation results more accurate.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides a method for constructing a shield tunneling model in a heterogeneous sand and gravel formation, and the construction method includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S10: According to the preset shield construction parameters, construct a finite element model of the shield structure. The finite element model of the shield structure includes a formation model 200 and a shield support mechanism model 300. Along the height direction of the formation model 200, the formation model 200 includes an intermediate formation 201A, a bearing layer 202 located above the intermediate formation 201A, and a bottom layer 203 located below the intermediate formation. The tunnel is excavated in the intermediate formation 201A.

[0031] In the present invention, the preset shield construction parameters include the size of the shield structure and the diameter and burial depth ratio of the tunnel to be excavated.

[0032] In the present invention, the dimensions of the shield structure are determined based on the dimensions of the stratum model and are the same as those of the stratum model, that is, the length of the stratum model is the length of the shield structure, the width of the stratum model is the width of the shield structure, and the thickness / depth / height of the stratum model is the height of the shield structure.

[0033] Preferably, the shield support mechanism model 300 includes a shield shell model for supporting the inner wall of the tunnel, a grouting layer model located within the shield shell model, and a lining segment model located within the grouting layer model.

[0034] Preferably, the bearing layer 202 is a soft stratum, the bottom layer 203 is a dense stratum, and the intermediate stratum 201A is a sandy gravel stratum.

[0035] Preferably, the thickness ratio of the bearing layer, the intermediate stratum, and the bottom layer is: (3 - 5):(4 - 6):(10 - 12).

[0036] In actual construction projects, the shield area often traverses multiple geological units (such as fill strata, silt strata, gravel strata, pebble strata, or weathered rock strata, etc.). In the present invention, the stratum model is set as a three-layer structure. On the one hand, it makes the stratum model closer to the actual engineering construction situation, which can improve the accuracy of the simulation results; on the other hand, the three-layer structure can flexibly replace any layer of soil material, thus meeting the construction simulation requirements under different site conditions. For example, in a certain project, the bottom layer is strongly weathered rock or completely weathered mudstone, and only the parameters of the bottom layer need to be changed to carry out the adaptability simulation, without the need to re-establish the overall model.

[0037] In the present invention, the finite element model of the shield structure is constructed using Abaqus software. Specifically: the entire modeling process adopts a three-dimensional solid model, and at the same time combines the composite modeling method of shell elements and solid elements to ensure the calculation accuracy and modeling efficiency.

[0038] In the present invention, the total size of the shield model structure is designed as 80m (length) × 50m (width) × 40m (depth), the diameter D of the tunnel to be excavated is 6.4m, and the tunnel burial depth ratio is 2D, that is, 12.8m.

[0039] The stratum structure is divided into a three-layer structure. The thickness of the bearing layer is 7.8m, and its index parameters are: unit weight is 18 - 20kN / m 3 , elastic modulus is 4 - 6MPa, cohesion is 5 - 15kPa, and internal friction angle is 10 - 15 degrees; the thickness of the intermediate stratum is 10m, and its index parameters include: unit weight is 20kN / m 3 , compression modulus is 25MPa, cohesion is 0kPa, and internal friction angle is 36 degrees; the thickness of the bottom layer is 22.2m, and its index parameters include: unit weight is 23.9kN / m 3, the compression modulus is 43 MPa, the cohesion is 0 kPa, and the internal friction angle is 45 degrees.

[0040] In the present invention, the shield shell model in the shield support mechanism model is set as a shell element with a radius of 3.2 m, which is used to support the inner wall of the tunnel; the grouting layer is set as an annular solid structure with an outer diameter of 3.2 m and an inner diameter of 3.0 m, which plays a role in simulating support and anti-seepage; the lining segment is set as an annular solid structure with an outer diameter of 3.0 m and an inner diameter of 2.7 m. The lining segment serves as the final support structure to provide overall stability.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is the finite element model diagram of the shield structure constructed for the present invention.

[0042] Step S20: Obtain the size data and volume of the intermediate formation, and construct a heterogeneous aggregate packing finite element model based on the size data and volume of the intermediate formation. The sum of the volumes of all the aggregates included in the heterogeneous aggregate packing finite element model is 30% - 40% of the volume of the intermediate formation.

[0043] In an alternative embodiment, the step of constructing a heterogeneous aggregate packing finite element model based on the size data and volume of the intermediate formation includes:

[0044] Step (1): Generate a virtual space based on the size data of the intermediate formation. The virtual space has the same size data as the intermediate formation.

[0045] In the present invention, the size of the intermediate formation is 80 m (length) × 50 m (width) × 10 m (height). In this way, the size of the virtual space is also 80 m (length) × 50 m (width) × 10 m (height).

[0046] Step (2): Obtain the geometric model of the original aggregate. Based on the geometric model of the original aggregate, use a random function to generate random aggregate geometric models with different particle sizes in the virtual space, and randomly rotate and move the random aggregate geometric models to control that adjacent random aggregate geometric models do not overlap, thereby obtaining a first aggregate packing three-dimensional discrete element model. The first aggregate packing three-dimensional discrete element model includes a multi-level graded aggregate model set, and the volume fraction of each level of graded aggregate model set satisfies a preset condition.

[0047] It should be noted that in the present invention, the particle size of the aggregate refers to the equivalent particle size of the aggregate.

[0048] In the present invention, the first aggregate packing three-dimensional discrete element model is constructed using PFC3D software.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, a geometric model of the original aggregate is constructed based on the selected real aggregate.

[0050] This step specifically includes: randomly selecting real aggregates, and obtaining the geometric model of the real aggregates by the image method or the three-dimensional scanning method.

[0051] It should be noted that in the present invention, both the image method and the three-dimensional scanning method are prior arts.

[0052] In an alternative embodiment, the random function is:

[0053] .

[0054] Wherein, is the i-th aggregate particle size generated; is the set minimum particle size, with a value of 1; is the set maximum particle size, with a value of 5; is a random number between 0 and 1.

[0055] Using this random function to determine the particle sizes of aggregates of each gradation can ensure that the random distribution of particle sizes meets the inhomogeneous characteristics.

[0056] In the present invention, understanding the geometric model of the original aggregate as the basic model means that the shapes of the geometric models of random aggregates with different particle sizes generated subsequently are similar to the shape of the geometric model of the original aggregate, that is, the geometric model of the random aggregate is obtained by enlarging or reducing the geometric model of the original aggregate, and the magnification or reduction factor = the particle size calculated by the random function / the equivalent particle size of the original aggregate.

[0057] In an alternative embodiment, the multi-gradation aggregate model set includes a super-large particle size aggregate model set with an equivalent particle size range of 3.8m to 5m, a large particle size aggregate model set with an equivalent particle size range of 2.8m to 3.8m, a medium particle size aggregate model set with an equivalent particle size range of 1.8m to 2.8m, and a small particle size aggregate model set with an equivalent particle size range of 1m to 1.8m.

[0058] In the present invention, according to the engineering requirements, the aggregates are divided into different gradation ranges. Limited by the huge stacking volume and complex composition of actual engineering materials, the more the number of aggregates selected by BBS, the better. Too many will cause the computer to fail to meet the requirements, and compared with the overall size of the model, if the aggregates are too small, the advantages of inhomogeneity cannot be reflected. Therefore, the aggregates are divided into different gradation ranges, the minimum particle size is set to 1m, and the maximum particle size is set to 5m to ensure that the particle sizes meet the engineering requirements and reduce the calculation complexity.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment, the volume fraction of each graded aggregate model set satisfying the preset condition means that, taking the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates in the three-dimensional discrete element model of the first aggregate packing as 100%, the volume fraction corresponding to the extra-large particle size aggregate model set is between 20% and 30%, the volume fraction corresponding to the large particle size aggregate model set is between 20% and 30%, the volume fraction corresponding to the medium particle size aggregate model set is between 20% and 30%, and the volume fraction corresponding to the small particle size aggregate model set is between 10% and 20%.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, the volume fraction of each graded aggregate model set satisfying the preset condition means that the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates in the extra-large particle size aggregate model set is 28.1% of the total volume, the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates in the large particle size aggregate model set is 25.1% of the total volume, the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates in the medium particle size aggregate model set is 28.6% of the total volume, and the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates in the small particle size aggregate model set is 18.2% of the total volume, where the total volume is the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates in the three-dimensional discrete element model of the first aggregate packing.

[0061] In other embodiments, the volume fractions of different graded aggregate model sets can also be other values. For example, the volume fraction corresponding to the extra-large particle size aggregate model set can also be 24%, 26%, 27%, etc., the volume fraction corresponding to the large particle size aggregate model set can also be 23%, 25%, 27%, etc., the volume fraction corresponding to the medium particle size aggregate model set can also be 26%, 28.5%, 29%, etc., and the volume fraction corresponding to the small particle size aggregate model set can also be 17.5%, 18%, 18.5%, etc.

[0062] In an alternative embodiment, the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates included in the heterogeneous aggregate packing finite element model is 40% of the volume of the intermediate formation.

[0063] For ease of understanding, an example is given based on the optional data above. Assume the volume of the intermediate formation is 80m × 50m × 10m = 4000m 3 , then the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates included in the heterogeneous aggregate packing finite element model = 4000 × 40% = 1600m 3 , so the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates in the extra-large particle size aggregate model set = 1600 × 28.1%, the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates in the large particle size aggregate model set = 1600 × 25.1%, the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates in the medium particle size aggregate model set = 1600 × 28.6%, and the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates in the small particle size aggregate model set = 1600 × 18.2%.

[0064] In another alternative embodiment, the volume fraction of each graded aggregate model set satisfying the preset condition can also be that, taking the volume of the virtual space as 100%, the volume fractions corresponding to the extra-large particle size aggregate model set, the large particle size aggregate model set, the medium particle size aggregate model set, and the small particle size aggregate model set are respectively defined.

[0065] For ease of understanding, by way of example, if taking the volume of the virtual space as 100%, assuming that the sum of the volumes of all the aggregates included in the heterogeneous aggregate packing finite element model is 40% of the volume of the intermediate formation, then the volume fraction corresponding to the extra-large particle size aggregate model set = 40% × 28.1%, the volume fraction corresponding to the large particle size aggregate model set = 40% × 25.1%, the volume fraction corresponding to the medium particle size aggregate model set = 40% × 28.6%, and the volume fraction corresponding to the small particle size aggregate model set = 40% × 18.2%.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 , which is the first three-dimensional discrete element model diagram of aggregate packing constructed for the present invention.

[0067] Step (3): On the premise of keeping the central coordinates of each of the random aggregate geometric models unchanged, each of the random aggregate geometric models is scaled down in equal proportion according to a preset ratio to obtain a second three-dimensional discrete element model of aggregate packing.

[0068] In the present invention, the corresponding equal-proportion scaling operation of this step is carried out in the PFC3D software.

[0069] During the PFC3D calculation process, in order to reduce the calculation error and ensure the stability of the aggregate packing structure, the volumes of all the random aggregates are uniformly fine-tuned to reduce the calculation error, while keeping the central coordinates of each of the random aggregate geometric models unchanged to ensure the integrity of the aggregate structure. The adjustment formula is as follows:

[0070] .

[0071] Wherein, The adjusted volume of the i th random aggregate, V i is the initial volume of the i th random aggregate, δ is the set scaling ratio.

[0072] In the present invention, δ = 0.001 to minimize the error of the volume fraction.

[0073] In the present invention, the central coordinates of the adjusted random aggregates remain unchanged, and only the volume is slightly adjusted to avoid boundary problems caused by precision errors. This adjustment method is applicable to all random aggregates, rather than only the random aggregates at the boundary of the computational domain, ensuring that all random aggregates can still be correctly recognized after being imported into Abaqus and are consistent with the calculation results in PFC3D.

[0074] Step (4): Convert the three-dimensional discrete element model of the second aggregate accumulation into the finite element model of the heterogeneous aggregate accumulation through file format conversion.

[0075] In an alternative embodiment, step (4) includes:

[0076] Step (a): Export the three-dimensional discrete element model of the second aggregate accumulation as multiple STL files, and each STL file also carries the position information of the random aggregate geometric model.

[0077] It can be understood that each random aggregate geometric model is separately saved as an STL file.

[0078] The position and volume distribution of the random aggregates have been set during the PFC3D calculation and stored as database information. Therefore, when constructing the finite element model of the heterogeneous aggregate accumulation, these coordinate data can be directly called without the need for additional placement operations.

[0079] Step (b): Batch import the STL files into MATLAB for data processing to obtain multiple IGES files.

[0080] Step (c): Import all the IGES files into Abaqus, and batch read the IGES files through the Abaqus Python script to convert and obtain the finite element model of the heterogeneous aggregate accumulation.

[0081] By using the file format conversion method provided by the present invention, it can be ensured that the random aggregate geometric model can be correctly imported and is consistent with the PFC3D calculation results.

[0082] Step S30: First, merge the finite element model of the heterogeneous aggregate accumulation with the intermediate formation of the finite element model of the shield structure, and then define the material properties, set the contact conditions and interaction conditions for the merged model to construct a non-homogeneous sand and gravel formation shield tunneling model. The intermediate formation 201B of the non-homogeneous sand and gravel formation shield tunneling model is composed of soil and aggregates.

[0083] In the present invention, step S30 is operated using Abaqus software.

[0084] In an alternative embodiment, the operation of merging the heterogeneous aggregate accumulation finite element model with the intermediate formation of the finite element model of the shield structure is specifically as follows: performing a Boolean operation to merge the heterogeneous aggregate accumulation finite element model with the intermediate formation of the finite element model of the shield structure, and disabling the soil mass that overlaps with the aggregate in the intermediate formation.

[0085] In an alternative embodiment, the definition of material properties includes: defining the elastic modulus of the aggregate; using an elasto-plastic model with seepage and coupling for the soil mass in the intermediate formation, and defining the permeability coefficient and deformation characteristics of the soil mass; defining the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield criterion, cohesion, and internal friction angle of the intermediate formation; setting the shield shell model and the lining segment model in the shield support mechanism model to impermeable conditions, and defining mechanical parameters, where the mechanical parameters include the elastic modulus and density.

[0086] In the present invention, the elastic modulus of the aggregate is between 10,000 MPa and 30,000 MPa, belonging to high-stiffness elastic parameters.

[0087] In an alternative embodiment, the setting of the contact conditions includes the contact setting between the intermediate formation and the bottom layer, the contact setting between the intermediate formation and the bearing layer, the contact setting between the soil mass of the intermediate formation and the aggregate, the contact setting between the components in the shield support mechanism model, and the contact setting between the shield support mechanism model and the intermediate formation.

[0088] In an alternative embodiment, the setting of the interaction conditions includes introducing a seepage field in the soil mass region of the intermediate formation, and defining the pore pressure distribution of water and the coupling relationship between the pore pressure distribution of water and the mechanical behavior of the intermediate formation.
