AI Technical Summary
When large-diameter shield tunneling passes close to existing subway tunnels, soil disturbance control is difficult. Traditional solutions lack zoned reinforcement, have inaccurate soil removal measurement, inconsistent filling of shield gaps, and are disconnected from monitoring and construction, resulting in high ground loss rates and making it difficult to meet the requirement of controlling the deformation of existing tunnels within ±10mm.
A comprehensive approach was adopted, including surface zonal grouting reinforcement, test section parameter optimization, shield tunneling control, shield shell gap filling, and automated monitoring. This approach included inclined double-liquid grouting, vertical single-liquid grouting, lidar dry slag measurement, plastic filling materials, and automated monitoring feedback, forming a closed-loop control system.
It achieves millimeter-level micro-disturbance control of existing tunnel structures under the condition that the clearance is less than one tunnel diameter, ensuring the all-weather, speed-unrestricted operation of subway lines and solving the systematic deficiencies of soil disturbance control in traditional technologies.
