Composite lining waterproof structure at shaft and tunnel joint
By employing a composite lining waterproof structure at the connection between the shaft and the tunnel, including initial shotcrete, composite geomembrane, water-swellable sealing strips, and expansion joint waterproof sealants, the continuity and sealing issues of the waterproof layer at the connection between the shaft and the tunnel were resolved. This achieved structural deformation adaptability and ease of construction, while reducing leakage risks and maintenance costs.

AI Technical Summary
The existing waterproofing layer at the connection between the shaft and the tunnel is difficult to make continuous at the junction, resulting in poor sealing and easy cracking due to deformation. Repair is difficult and costly, and existing reinforcement methods are not effective.
A composite lining waterproof structure is adopted at the connection between the shaft and the tunnel, including initial shotcrete, composite geomembrane, water-swellable waterstop strip and expansion joint waterproof sealant, forming a zoned and layered waterproof system. The synergistic effect of flexible and rigid materials enhances the continuity and sealing of the waterproof layer.
It improves the continuity and sealing of the waterproof layer, reduces the risk of leakage, has good deformation adaptability, is easy to construct, reduces maintenance difficulty and cost, and extends the service life of the project.
