[0002] Full-face tunnel boring machine (TBM) has been widely used in tunnel construction, which includes open TBM and shield TBM. When the open TBM is used for tunnel construction, the lining structure type in the tunnel adopts a composite lining structure of "primary support + secondary lining". The "primary support" is formed by a steel frame + sprayed concrete, and the steel frame is built by I-beams. The "secondary lining" is formed by cast-in-situ concrete. The above scheme has the following technical problems: firstly, the sprayed concrete has a great influence on the environment in the hole, and the construction quality is difficult to guarantee; secondly, the combined thickness of "primary support + secondary lining" is large, which leads to the increase of TBM excavation area and high engineering cost; thirdly, the steel frame built by I-beams has the problem of large steel consumption. When the shield TBM is used for tunnel construction, the lining structure type in the tunnel adopts a single-layer prefabricated segment assembly. The unit volume segment cost is about 2-3 times the cast-in-situ concrete cost, which has the problem of high cost. SUMMARY
