Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surface deformation evaluation technology, and specifically to a method for evaluating surface settlement and deformation during the construction phase of a shield tunnel that takes recovery time into account. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, large-diameter shield tunnels are increasingly used in densely populated urban areas. Their construction inevitably disturbs the surrounding strata, causing surface settlement and deformation, which in turn threatens the safety of above-ground buildings, roads, pipelines, and other infrastructure. Therefore, effectively controlling surface settlement and deformation and establishing scientific and reasonable evaluation methods for surface settlement and deformation are crucial to ensuring the safety of shield tunnel construction.

[0003] Currently, existing methods for evaluating surface settlement and deformation in shield tunnels mostly focus on monitoring a single indicator, such as deformation amount or deformation rate, neglecting the impact of the strata's recovery characteristics after disturbance on the deformation evaluation results. This leads to biased evaluation results and makes it difficult to fully reflect the surface strata's resistance to disturbance and stable recovery characteristics.

[0004] While existing toughness assessment models have been applied in tunnel engineering, they are mostly applicable to the operational phase and do not fully consider the characteristics of ground disturbance during shield tunneling. Furthermore, they do not incorporate recovery time as a core influencing factor into the evaluation system, making it impossible to accurately quantify the dynamic evolution of surface settlement and deformation and the safety status during shield tunnel construction. In addition, existing evaluation methods lack unified grading standards, resulting in insufficient practicality and guidance of the evaluation results, making it difficult to meet the needs of safety early warning and construction control at engineering sites. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention proposes a method for evaluating surface settlement and deformation during the construction stage of shield tunnels that takes into account recovery time, which can at least solve one of the technical problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for evaluating surface settlement and deformation during the construction phase of a shield tunnel, taking recovery time into account, involves the following steps performed using computer equipment. S1. Real-time acquisition of settlement and deformation data of surface monitoring points in the shield tunnel construction area, the data including absolute surface deformation and deformation rate; based on the acquired settlement and deformation data, determining the time when the surface performance of each surface monitoring point is disturbed and the time when it recovers to stability, and calculating the recovery time of each monitoring point from the difference between the time of recovery to stability and the time of disturbance. S2. Based on the absolute deformation and deformation rate obtained from S1, the surface performance indicators of each surface monitoring point are calculated separately or jointly. S3. Collect the recovery time of each monitoring point calculated in S1, and calculate the average recovery time of all monitoring points; S4. Input the surface performance index obtained in S2 and the average recovery time obtained in S3 into the pre-constructed resilience evaluation model to calculate the resilience evaluation index of each monitoring point. S5. Based on the values ​​of the toughness evaluation index calculated in S4, determine the surface settlement deformation toughness level of each surface monitoring point according to the preset grading standard, and output the evaluation results.

[0007] In another aspect, the present invention also discloses a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the steps of the method described above.

[0008] In another aspect, the present invention also discloses a computer device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the processor performs the steps of the method described above.

[0009] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the surface settlement deformation evaluation method for shield tunnel construction stage considering recovery time of the present invention makes up for the deficiency of existing evaluation models that do not fully consider the stratum recovery characteristics. By introducing the recovery time parameter and combining the two core indicators of absolute surface settlement deformation and deformation rate, a scientific evaluation model and grading standard are constructed to achieve accurate evaluation of surface settlement deformation during shield tunnel construction stage and provide a reliable basis for construction safety early warning.

[0010] This invention outputs the surface settlement and deformation evaluation results of each monitoring point based on the calculated toughness evaluation index Re and the grading evaluation standard, and formulates corresponding construction control measures for different toughness levels. Among them, the results of the dual-index evaluation method are more secure and are given priority for evaluation of high-risk construction areas (such as under buildings and roads), while the single-index evaluation method can be used as an alternative when data is missing.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The introduction of the recovery time parameter compensates for the deficiency of existing evaluation methods in ignoring formation recovery characteristics. Traditional evaluations of surface settlement and deformation during shield tunnel construction often focus on monitoring single or dual indicators such as absolute deformation and deformation rate, failing to consider the recovery characteristics of the strata after disturbance. This invention, for the first time, incorporates recovery time into the surface settlement and deformation evaluation system. By defining the time when surface performance is disturbed and the time when it returns to stability, the recovery time is quantitatively calculated, thus more comprehensively reflecting the strata's resistance to disturbance and self-recovery characteristics. This addresses the technical blind spot of existing methods that "only assess losses, not recovery."

[0012] 2. A resilience evaluation model integrating recovery time and performance indicators was constructed to improve the scientific rigor and accuracy of the evaluation results. This invention combines mean recovery time with surface performance indicators to construct a toughness evaluation index calculation model in the form of an exponential function. This model comprehensively reflects the degree of performance degradation and recovery speed of the surface under construction disturbance, achieving a quantitative description of the dynamic evolution process of surface subsidence and deformation. Compared with existing single-threshold or static evaluation methods, the toughness evaluation results of this invention more accurately reflect the actual safety status of the strata, significantly improving the accuracy and engineering applicability of the evaluation.

[0013] 3. An evaluation strategy combining single and dual indicators is adopted to balance data completeness and evaluation security. This invention provides three methods for calculating surface performance indicators based on absolute deformation, deformation rate, and their product. It explicitly prioritizes the dual-indicator evaluation method for high-risk construction areas, while using the single-indicator evaluation method as an alternative when data is missing. This design ensures the safety and conservatism of the evaluation results under conditions of sufficient data, while also improving the method's adaptability and robustness in situations where on-site data collection is incomplete.

[0014] 4. A unified standard for resilience grading was established, enhancing the operability and guidance of the evaluation results. This invention classifies surface subsidence deformation toughness into four levels: high toughness, medium toughness, low toughness, and no toughness, and formulates corresponding construction control measures for each level. This classification standard is clear, easy to implement on-site, and can intuitively reflect the severity and urgency of surface subsidence deformation. It provides construction managers with clear safety warning signals and control guidelines, effectively reducing safety risks caused by ground deformation.

[0015] 5. To achieve dynamic evaluation and timely early warning of surface settlement throughout the entire shield tunnel construction process. Based on real-time monitoring data, this invention can identify disturbances in the early stages of surface performance degradation and dynamically track recovery time and toughness index changes throughout the construction process, demonstrating excellent timeliness. By periodically or continuously outputting the toughness level evaluation results of each monitoring point, high-risk areas can be identified in a timely manner, and targeted control measures can be taken. This avoids the drawbacks of traditional methods that rely on "post-event evaluation and delayed response," providing a reliable technical guarantee for the safety of shield tunnel construction.

[0016] 6. Ensure the safety of surrounding infrastructure and reduce potential economic losses caused by ground deformation. This invention scientifically evaluates the toughness level of surface settlement deformation and guides the optimization of construction parameters (such as adjusting the synchronous grouting volume, controlling the tunneling speed, and reinforcing the strata). It can effectively control surface deformation within the allowable range, reduce secondary disasters such as cracking of buildings above, road collapse, and pipeline damage caused by uneven settlement, thereby ensuring the safe operation of surrounding infrastructure and significantly reducing engineering accidents and economic losses caused by strata deformation.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, the method for evaluating surface settlement and deformation during the construction stage of a shield tunnel, which takes recovery time into account, includes the following steps: Step 1, real-time acquisition of monitoring data; Step 2, calculation of surface performance indicators; Step 3, calculation of average recovery time; Step 4, calculation of toughness evaluation indicators; Step 5, classification of surface deformation levels; and Step 6, application of deformation evaluation results.

[0020] Specifically, it includes the following steps: like Figure 2 As shown, monitoring points were set up on the surface of the shield tunnel construction area to collect the absolute deformation amount ΔM(t) and deformation rate ΔK(t) of the surface settlement in real time throughout the entire construction process. The monitoring time series was recorded to determine the time t when the surface was disturbed. i and the time t for restoring stability Calculate the recovery time Δt=t -t i ; where t i The point at which the surface performance index Q(t) drops below 95% of the initial performance Q0 and continues to decline is defined as t. The time is defined as the moment when the surface performance index Q(t) returns to a stable level and shows no significant decline for three consecutive monitoring days.

[0021] A combination of single-indicator and dual-indicator methods is used to calculate the land surface performance index Q(t) based on the collected monitoring data, specifically including: Single-index evaluation method 1 (based on absolute ground deformation): , where ΔMmax is the maximum allowable ground deformation during shield tunnel construction. According to GB 50446-2017 "Code for Construction and Acceptance of Shield Tunnelling Method", ΔMmax is set to 30 mm for ground subsidence, and ΔMmax is set to 10 mm for ground heave; Single-index evaluation method 2 (based on ground deformation rate): , where ΔKmax is the maximum allowable ground deformation rate during shield tunnel construction. According to GB 50446-2017 "Code for Construction and Acceptance of Shield Tunnelling Method", Kmax is set to 3 mm / d; Dual-index evaluation method: Q3(t)=Q1(t)×Q2(t), which comprehensively considers the synergistic effect of absolute deformation and deformation rate.

[0022] Select the recovery time Δt of all monitoring points in the shield tunnel construction area j , and calculate the average recovery time , where N is the number of monitoring points, and Δtj is the recovery time of the j-th monitoring point.

[0023] Introduce the influence of recovery time on the resilience of ground subsidence deformation, and construct a calculation model for the resilience evaluation index Re of ground subsidence deformation: , where a>1, b>0, and QD(t) is the ground performance index after disturbance (select Q1(t), Q2(t) or Q3(t)); preferably, a is set to the natural base e, and b is set to 1.63, so as to ensure the distribution rationality and engineering applicability of the resilience evaluation index.

[0024] Based on the calculation result of the resilience evaluation index Re, combined with engineering safety requirements, the ground subsidence deformation resilience is divided into 4 grades, and the specific grading criteria are as follows: High resilience: Re>0.75, the ground deformation is small, the safety performance does not decrease significantly after being disturbed by construction, and the recovery capacity and adaptability are good; Medium resilience: 0.50<Re≤0.75, the ground deformation is small, the safety performance does not decrease significantly after being disturbed by construction, and the overall deformation is within a controllable range; Low resilience: 0.25<Re≤0.50, the ground deformation is significant, the safety performance decreases obviously after being disturbed by construction, and construction control or deformation recovery measures need to be taken; No resilience: Re≤0.25, the ground deformation is extremely large, which is prone to major accidents such as ground collapse and endangers the safety of ground buildings.

[0025] The following is an example for illustration: Step 1: Deploy monitoring points on the ground surface. Monitoring points are deployed on the ground surface from the 1st to the 37th ring of the tunnel boring machine (TBM). One monitoring point is deployed every 10m longitudinally along the tunnel axis, and one monitoring section is deployed every 50m laterally, with 7 monitoring points deployed in each section. Deep-buried deployment is used. The absolute deformation of surface settlement ΔM(t) and the deformation rate ΔK(t) are collected in real time during TBM tunneling. The monitoring time series is recorded, and the disturbance time t at each monitoring point is determined. i and recovery time t Calculate the recovery time Δt; where t i t is the moment when Q(t) drops below 95% of Q0 and continues to decrease. This is the point at which Q(t) stabilizes and shows no significant decrease for three consecutive days.

[0026] Step 2: Calculate surface performance indicators; according to GB 50446-2017 "Code for Construction and Acceptance of Shield Tunneling Method", the maximum allowable surface settlement deformation ΔM max =30mm, maximum allowable deformation rate ΔK max =3mm / d.

[0027] The surface performance index Q(t) was calculated using three different evaluation methods: Single-index evaluation method 1 (based on the absolute deformation of the surface): Single-index evaluation method 2 (based on surface deformation rate): The dual-index evaluation method is: Q3(t) = Q1(t) × Q2(t).

[0028] Step 3: Calculate the average recovery time; calculate the recovery time Δt of the selected monitoring points under the three evaluation conditions. j and mean recovery time Δ The average recovery time of the surface is 12.88 days under the evaluation method based on the absolute deformation of the surface; 14.01 days under the evaluation method based on the deformation rate of the surface; and 14.34 days under the dual-index evaluation method.

[0029] Step 4: Calculate the surface toughness evaluation index; toughness evaluation index Where a>1, b>0, and QD(t) is the surface performance index after disturbance (selecting Q1(t), Q2(t), or Q3(t)); a takes the natural base e, and b takes 1.63 to ensure the reasonable distribution of toughness evaluation indexes and their engineering applicability.

[0030] Step 5: Classify the toughness level according to the toughness evaluation index Re; the calculation results are as follows. Figure 3As shown, the calculation results indicate that when using Q1(t) and Q2(t) as single indicators for evaluation, the calculated Re values ​​are quite similar, with most monitoring points having Re values ​​between 0.50 and 0.83, indicating high and medium toughness. When using Q3(t) as a dual indicator for evaluation, the Re values ​​are between 0.25 and 0.60, with 75% being medium toughness and 25% being low toughness. The calculated Re values ​​using the single indicator evaluation are significantly higher than those using the dual indicator evaluation method, indicating that the evaluation results of the dual indicator method are more conservative and better meet the engineering safety requirements.

[0031] Step 6: Apply the surface settlement and deformation evaluation results and take targeted measures; for low toughness monitoring points (mainly concentrated in the shallow overburden soft soil section from ring 12 to ring 27), adjust the synchronous grouting volume, strengthen the stratum reinforcement measures, reduce the shield tunneling speed, and ensure that the surface settlement and deformation are within a controllable range; for high toughness and medium toughness monitoring points, maintain normal construction parameters and continue monitoring.
