[0002] With the acceleration of my country's urbanization process and the rapid and substantial increase in rail transit mileage, the safety protection of operating subway tunnels is becoming increasingly important, especially the deformation of subway tunnel structures caused by the increase in the service life of operating subways. Long-term development may cause serious structural changes and induce major engineering disasters and safety accidents.

[0003] Existing shield tunnel safety monitoring is mostly focused on monitoring tunnel structure deformation (settlement, horizontal displacement and convergence deformation), and rarely monitors the internal force of the shield tunnel structure. The internal force of the shield tunnel structure will affect the deformation development trend of the shield tunnel. If the internal force of the shield tunnel can be mastered, effective remediation measures can be taken in time to change the stress state, so that the deformation rate can be slowed down or develop in a favorable direction.

[0039] The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] like Figure 1-2 As shown, 9 sensing optical fibers are buried along the surface of the shield tunnel wall. The sensing optical fibers are divided into three groups, with 3 fibers in each group, and are arranged as follows:

[0041] - The first group of sensing optical fibers are axial optical fibers, and the three sensing optical fibers are arranged along the axial direction of the circular shield tunnel, as shown by reference numeral 3 in the figure;

[0042] - The second group of sensing optical fibers are S-shaped optical fibers, and the three sensing optical fibers are all wound counterclockwise around the wall of the circular shield tunnel, evenly winding from one end of the wall to the other end, as shown by reference numeral 2 in the figure;

[0043] - The third group of sensing optical fibers are inverted S-shaped optical fibers. All three sensing optical fibers are wound clockwise around the tunnel wall, evenly winding from one end of the wall to the other end, as shown by reference numeral 1 in the figure;

[0044] The axial optical fiber has several intersection points with the S-type optical fiber and the reverse S-type optical fiber, and the intersection points with the S-type optical fiber and the intersection points with the reverse S-type optical fiber on each axial optical fiber correspond to each other and overlap to form test points. There are three test points at the edge of the cross-section of the shield tunnel where each test point is located; the angle between the S-type optical fiber, the reverse S-type optical fiber and the axial optical fiber is θ, 0°<θ<90°.

[0045] The nine sensing optical fibers are connected end to end to form one optical fiber. There is no requirement for the order of optical fiber connection. Both ends of the formed optical fiber are connected to the Brillouin demodulator 5 , and the Brillouin demodulator 5 is connected to the computer 4 .

[0046] The following describes in detail the method for monitoring three-dimensional strain and internal force of a shield tunnel using this embodiment:

[0047] 1) Basic principles of Brillouin demodulation technology (BOTDR / BOTDA)

[0048] BOTDR / BOTDA is a new type of sensing technology developed on the basis of optical fiber and optical fiber communication technology, which uses light as a carrier and optical fiber as a medium to sense and transmit external signals. Its working principle is to inject pulsed light and continuous light from both ends of the optical fiber to create the Brillouin amplification effect (stimulated Brillouin), based on the linear change relationship between the Brillouin frequency shift of the optical signal and the optical fiber temperature and axial strain, as shown in formula (1).

[0049] Δv B =C vt ·Δt+C ve ·Δε (1)

[0050] In the above formula, Δv B is the Brillouin frequency shift; C νt is the Brillouin frequency shift temperature coefficient; C νe is the Brillouin frequency shift strain coefficient; Δt is the temperature change; Δε is the strain change.

[0051] The Brillouin frequency shift caused by temperature change can be compensated by the frequency shift obtained by standing still in the non-test section.

[0052] 2) Calculation principle of three-dimensional strain rosette

[0053] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, OXYZ is defined as the rectangular coordinate system of the shield tunnel, oxyz is the local coordinate system of the measuring point, the Y axis is along the axial direction of the tunnel, the X axis is along the horizontal direction of the tunnel section, the Y axis is along the vertical direction of the tunnel section, the local coordinate system of the test point is the coordinate origin, the x axis is along the direction of the tunnel section, and the y axis is along the axial optical fiber arrangement direction, wherein the angles between the x axis and the y axis and the X axis and the Y axis are respectively D, and the z axis is perpendicular to the Y axis.

[0054] Assume that the x-strain, y-strain and shear strain at point G on the shield tunnel section are ε x , ε y , γ xy , then the strains in the 0°, θ, and -θ directions are:

[0055] ε 0° =ε y (2)

[0056]

[0057]

[0058] Solving the simultaneous equations of (2), (3) and (4) yields:

[0059]

[0060] ε y =ε 0° (6)

[0061]

[0062] Assumptions Figure 3 A i The strain values ​​measured at points θ (anti-S-type fiber), 0° (axial fiber), and -θ (S-type fiber) are ε A1 , ε A2 , ε A3 , B i The strain values ​​measured at points θ (anti-S-type fiber), 0° (axial fiber), and -θ (S-type fiber) are ε B1 , ε B2 , ε B3 , C i The strain values ​​measured at points θ (anti-S-type fiber), 0° (axial fiber), and -θ (S-type fiber) are ε C1 , ε C2 , ε C3 .

[0063] The six strain components in the OXYZ coordinate system are represented by {ε}, and the six strain components in the oxyz coordinate system are represented by {ε'}. The following coordinate transformation relationship should be satisfied between the two sets of strain components.

[0064]

[0065] The direction cosines of the coordinate axis of the measuring point and the rectangular coordinate system of the shield tunnel can be expressed as follows:

[0066]

[0067] The azimuths of points A, B, and C are 0°, 120°, and 240°, respectively, and the inclinations are all 90°. Based on the three-dimensional strain rosette principle and the spatial coordinate transformation formula, the relationship between the three-dimensional linear strain of the measuring point and the spatial strain parameters of the shield tunnel is established as follows:

[0068]

[0069]

[0070]

[0071] 3) Calculation theory and principle of axial force, bending moment and torque

[0072] According to the calculated three-dimensional linear strain and shear strain, the horizontal force, vertical force, bending moment and torque of the shield tunnel in the rectangular coordinate system can be obtained from the material mechanics theory:

[0073]

[0074] Then the spatial strain component is expressed in terms of force as:

[0075]

[0076] The strain test value and the force in the rectangular coordinate system of the shield tunnel are used to establish the test equation group as follows:

[0077]

[0078] In the above formula, d is the diameter of the shield tunnel, F X 、F Z 、N Y , T, M X and M Z They are three forces and three moments in the rectangular coordinate system of the shield tunnel, among which F X is the X-direction force, N Y is the Y-direction force, F Z is the Z-direction force, T is the torque, M X is the bending moment relative to the X-axis, M Z is the bending moment relative to the Z axis; E is the elastic modulus of the shield segment, and μ is the Poisson’s ratio of the shield tunnel;

[0079] According to the strain test principle, the strain test value is expressed by six force components in the rectangular coordinate system of the shield tunnel as follows:

[0080]

[0081] In the above formula, k represents the kth row of the matrix, k=3(i-1)+j, i=1,2,3; j is the number of the test hole corresponding to the test value equation, j=1,2,3; is the test value; A k1 ~A k6 is the force coefficient of the test value equation. The number of equations in the test equation group (14) is greater than the number of unknown spatial forces (6 components) to be solved, and the principle of least squares method is used to solve the optimal value of the force component. The calculation can use no less than 6 equations, and then conduct a comprehensive analysis of the calculation results to determine the value to be used. The calculation equation is as follows:

[0082]

[0083] The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are used to explain the present invention and are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made to the present invention within the spirit of the present invention and the protection scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
