AI Technical Summary
The uneven settlement of shield tunnel segments during operation, especially when the voids behind the segment walls are not fully filled and the grout does not solidify sufficiently, can lead to structural deformation and operational safety hazards.
A staged grouting system is adopted, including a positioning unit, a channel control unit, a grouting pressure unit, and an intelligent control unit. By monitoring the grouting position and pressure data in real time, the grout formula and grouting stage are dynamically adjusted to achieve rapid setting and strength enhancement of the grout, accurately fill the voids behind the pipe segment wall, and correct uneven settlement.
It significantly improves the long-term strength and durability of the stone mass, avoids grout diffusion and support failure, and ensures the structural stability and safety of the subway tunnel during operation.
