Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical analysis technology for tunnels and underground structures, specifically to a nonlinear stochastic analysis method for the longitudinal mechanical properties of shield tunnels. Background Technology

[0002] During the construction and operation of shield tunnels, the longitudinal stress and deformation patterns of the structure are important bases for evaluating the overall safety of the tunnel, the durability of the segments, and the accuracy of construction posture control.

[0003] Due to the influence of multiple sources of disturbance, such as geological heterogeneity, complex groundwater environment, non-uniform buoyancy, voiding, and assembly posture adjustments, shield tunnels are prone to adverse responses along their longitudinal direction, including uneven settlement, bending distortion, shear deformation, and joint cracking. If the longitudinal mechanical behavior cannot be accurately simulated and identified, risks such as structural stress imbalance, segment joint failure, and degradation of waterproofing function may gradually accumulate and evolve during construction or operation, posing potential hazards to project safety. Therefore, establishing a longitudinal mechanical performance analysis method for tunnel structures that can accurately reflect the multi-source uncertainties of the foundation and the longitudinal nonlinear characteristics of the tunnel structure-foundation interaction is of significant engineering importance for the safety control of shield tunnels.

[0004] Existing longitudinal analyses of shield tunnels often employ simplified elastic foundation beam models, treating the strata as a linear or homogeneous support system and assuming that the initial stiffness and ultimate reaction force are independent. This analytical framework struggles to reflect the nonlinear characteristics of foundation reaction force variations with displacement in weak strata, and cannot describe actual behaviors such as ultimate reaction force attenuation, coupling degradation, and correlations among foundation parameters. Furthermore, traditional random field methods typically only handle single-parameter perturbations and cannot characterize the coupling effects of initial foundation stiffness and ultimate reaction force in terms of spatial correlation and probability distribution, limiting their ability to simulate the dynamic degradation of weak foundations. Simultaneously, existing solution methods generally employ iterative strategies with fixed step sizes or fixed relaxation factors, which are prone to convergence instability or low computational efficiency when dealing with strong nonlinearities in the foundation and random input perturbations.

[0005] In summary, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings in the simulation of two-parameter correlation of foundations, modeling of nonlinear foundation supports, and longitudinal nonlinear iterative solutions under random disturbance conditions. These limitations make it difficult to meet the demands of refined longitudinal mechanical analysis under the combined effects of randomness, nonlinearity, and coupling in practical engineering projects. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a nonlinear stochastic analysis method for the longitudinal mechanical properties of shield tunnels that comprehensively considers the coupled random field of the foundation's two-parameter structure, the nonlinear support characteristics of the foundation, and an adaptive iterative solution strategy. This method aims to improve the adaptability and reliability of the analysis results to complex soft strata and load conditions. Summary of the Invention
