Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shield segments, and particularly to a method for strengthening the structure of shield segments. Background Art
[0002] Shield segments are important precast components used to support the tunnel excavation face and form the permanent structure of the tunnel during shield tunneling construction. They are usually cast from high-strength concrete and assembled into a ring to form the lining structure of the tunnel. Specifically, shield segments are usually designed as multiple block-shaped components (generally 4 to 8 pieces), which are assembled to form a complete ring; each segment usually uses high-performance concrete (such as C50 or C60), and some projects will combine steel bars or composite materials for reinforcement; to ensure the assembly accuracy, shield segments are precast in the factory with strict control of dimensional errors; the segments are connected by bolts or mechanical locks to ensure the overall stability after assembly. Based on this, during the shield tunnel boring process, the segments can support the formation pressure and prevent the excavation face from collapsing; as part of the tunnel inner wall, the segments bear the pressure of the surrounding soil and groundwater to ensure the stability of the tunnel; through the sealed joint design between the segments, groundwater leakage is effectively prevented; the segments need to bear the thrust during shield machine tunneling and disperse it into the surrounding formation.
[0003] In the existing shield segments, a steel reinforcement cage is used as a strengthening structure during the casting process to improve the strength of the segments and can be used for the connection between the segments. The addition of steel bars can significantly increase the flexural strength and tensile strength of the segments, thereby improving the overall bearing capacity of the segments. The steel bars play a constraining role on the segment concrete and enhance its flexural and shear resistance. At the same time, threaded steel bars are mainly used to connect different segments during the segment production. After the segments are stacked, the threaded steel bars serve as the connection foundation to ensure the firm connection between the segments. However, the above-mentioned type of segments has insufficient crack resistance on the surface, and the steel bars are prone to corrosion during use, which greatly reduces the durability of the segments and shortens their service life. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on this, in view of the technical problem of insufficient surface strength and durability of the existing shield segments, it is necessary to provide a method for strengthening the structure of shield segments.

Put cement, medium sand, gravel, water, and additives into the mixing device according to the preset component ratio and carry out mixing work for a preset time and at a preset temperature to obtain concrete; S13. Pour the first layer of concrete into the steel mold until it reaches 50% of the mold depth, and combine vibration compaction treatment. After fixing the CFRP grids to the preset positions, carry out the second layer of pouring until it reaches the top of the mold, and then carry out secondary vibration for exhaust; S14. Sequentially obtain the segments through steam curing and natural curing.

Real-time detect the force distribution of the segments through the embedded sensors, and carry out a spray test after completing the installation of one ring to ensure no water leakage at the joints.
[0008] The above-mentioned segment includes a main body and several strengthening structures. The main body is set as an arc-shaped segment structure with a preset size, and several strengthening structures are arranged on the surface of the main body.
[0009] Each strengthening structure is provided with a trapezoidal connection groove, and the trapezoidal connection groove is arranged at the end face of the strengthening structure for axial connection between the segments.
[0010] In one embodiment, each of the above-mentioned strengthening structures extends along the axial direction of the main body, several strengthening structures are arranged parallel to each other in pairs, and the adjacent two strengthening structures are spaced at a preset distance.
[0011] In one embodiment, one end of each of the above-mentioned strengthening structures is provided with two trapezoidal connection grooves arranged in a stacked manner.
[0012] In one embodiment, each of the above-mentioned strengthening structures further includes a first installation groove, and the first installation groove is arranged on the inner surface of the strengthening structure for accommodating and installing sensors.
[0013] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned main body further includes a first matching portion and a second matching portion. The first matching portion and the second matching portion are respectively arranged at the two side edges of the main body, and the first matching portion and the second matching portion can be correspondingly matched, so that adjacent segments can be connected to each other through the first matching portion and the second matching portion.
[0014] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned first mating portion is provided with a second mounting groove, and the second mounting groove extends along the length direction of the first mating portion.
[0015] In one embodiment, in the above-mentioned step S11, the fixed interval of the CFRP grid is set to 200 mm to ensure the installation stability of the CFRP grid.
[0016] In one embodiment, in the above-mentioned step S12, the proportion of the concrete components includes 400 parts of cement, 600 parts of medium sand, 1200 parts of gravel, 160 parts of water, and 1.5 wt% of superplasticizer.

At the same time, it reduces the corrosion problems that may be caused by traditional steel bars. Moreover, the problem of insufficient sealing performance of traditional segment joints is solved by sealing and bonding the joints with polyurethane sealant, further enhancing the durability and impermeability of shield segments. In addition, through the processing technology of layered pouring and simultaneous vibration treatment, the problem of air bubbles that may be caused by traditional single pouring can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the density of concrete. At the same time, for the segment itself, the bending stiffness of the segment is improved by setting a strengthening structure to adapt to more complex geological conditions. The trapezoidal connection groove optimizes the connection method of traditional locks. Through the trapezoidal design, the assembly error can be effectively reduced, and at the same time, the shear resistance performance at the segment joints is improved.
