[0002] In the construction of multi-level rail transit in metropolitan area, shield method tunnel crosses mountainous area, and avoids city deep obstacles, and the situation appears sometimes, with the characteristics of tunnel buried depth is big, water head pressure is high.When using large diameter single-hole double-line shield method tunnel, tunnel segment thickness is bigger, and segment joint waterproof often uses larger size waterproof sealing gasket, double-pass waterproof sealing gasket and other measures to resist the influence of high water pressure, when using single-hole single-line tunnel, the thickness of tunnel segment is smaller, and segment joint waterproof often uses smaller size single-pass waterproof sealing gasket, and still needs to meet the waterproof performance requirements of segment joint under high water pressure condition.
[0003] In engineering practice, leakage of segment joint position mainly occurs at the contact surface of sealing gasket and sealing gasket, and the contact surface of sealing gasket and segment sealing gasket groove. The leakage between sealing gasket and sealing gasket is mainly due to the opening of segment joint, which reduces the closed contact stress between sealing gaskets. When the closed contact force is less than the environmental water pressure, leakage occurs. The leakage between sealing gasket and sealing gasket groove is mainly due to the non-planar contact state between the contact surfaces of sealing gasket, which expands the opening of sealing gasket and segment sealing gasket groove, and the friction force between the contact surfaces of sealing gasket during segment assembly is transmitted to the contact surface between sealing gasket and segment sealing gasket groove, and exceeds the adhesion of the contact surface, which causes the opening of the joint, reduces the closed contact force between sealing gasket and segment sealing gasket groove, and causes leakage when the closed contact force is less than the environmental water pressure.
