Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a segment used in the lining of a shield tunnel and a method for manufacturing the segment. [Background technology]

[0002] Shield tunnels, which are used as pipelines for water supply and sewage systems, utility conduits, roads, railways, etc., are constructed using the shield construction method.

[0003] In the shield method, for example, a starting shaft and a destination shaft are constructed in the ground, and the ground is excavated from the starting shaft to the destination shaft with a shield tunneling machine, while multiple segments are successively connected behind the shield tunneling machine in the tunnel circumferential and axial directions to construct a cylindrical tunnel structure (in other words, a lining).

[0004] As an example of this type of segment, a tunnel segment described in Patent Document 1 is known. The tunnel segment described in Patent Document 1 is composed of a segment piece made of reinforced concrete and a waterproof sheet attached to the outside of the segment piece (the surface facing the ground). This waterproof sheet is intended to prevent water leakage through chips and cracks in the concrete in the segment piece. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 140992 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in the tunnel segment described in Patent Document 1, the waterproof sheet is only provided on the ground-facing surface of the segment piece, so some ingenuity may be required to prevent water that has entered the gap between the side surfaces of adjacent segment pieces from entering the segment piece.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a segment having a waterproof sheet capable of preventing water from entering the segment piece from the side surface thereof, and a manufacturing method thereof. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a segment having segment pieces made of precast concrete forming a tunnel structure. The segment includes a waterproof sheet covering a surface of the segment piece, the waterproof sheet being provided from a back surface, which is a surface of the surface facing the natural ground, to both side surfaces in the tunnel axial direction and both side surfaces in the tunnel circumferential direction. The waterproof sheet has a back surface sheet portion corresponding to the back surface, a first side surface sheet portion corresponding to one of the side surfaces in the tunnel axial direction, a second side surface sheet portion corresponding to the other side surface in the tunnel axial direction, a third side surface sheet portion corresponding to one of the side surfaces in the tunnel circumferential direction, and a fourth side surface sheet portion corresponding to the other side surface in the tunnel circumferential direction.

[0009] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a segment according to the above aspect, which includes a covering step of covering a portion of the concrete corresponding to the back surface with the back surface sheet portion after pouring concrete into a form for a segment piece and before steam curing or underwater curing of the concrete. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the segment according to the one aspect and the manufacturing method of the segment according to the other aspect, the waterproof sheet covering the surface of the segment piece is provided from the back surface, which is the surface of the surface of the segment piece facing the natural ground, to both side surfaces in the tunnel axial direction and both side surfaces in the tunnel circumferential direction, and has a back surface sheet portion corresponding to the back surface, a first side surface sheet portion corresponding to one of the side surfaces in the tunnel axial direction, a second side surface sheet portion corresponding to the other side surface in the tunnel axial direction, a third side surface sheet portion corresponding to one of the side surfaces in the tunnel circumferential direction, and a fourth side surface sheet portion corresponding to the other side surface in the tunnel circumferential direction. In this way, since each side surface of the segment piece is covered by the first side surface sheet portion, the second side surface sheet portion, the third side surface sheet portion, and the fourth side surface sheet portion, even if water infiltrates from the natural ground side into the gap between the side surfaces of adjacent segment pieces, these side surface sheet portions can prevent water from infiltrating into the segment piece.

[0011] In this manner, it is possible to provide a segment having a waterproof sheet capable of preventing water from entering the segment piece from the side surface thereof, and a method for manufacturing the segment.

[0012] According to the segment manufacturing method of the other aspect, the back covering step of covering the portion of the concrete corresponding to the back surface with the back surface sheet portion is performed after pouring the concrete into the formwork for the segment pieces and before steam curing or underwater curing of the concrete, so that the back surface sheet portion of the waterproof sheet can be used as a curing sheet for the concrete during segment manufacturing. As a result, there is no need to prepare a separate curing sheet for the concrete during segment manufacturing, and it is possible to reduce the curing work and manufacturing costs.

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of a segment 1 in one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the segment 1 as viewed from the direction of arrow A (natural ground side) shown in Fig. 1.

[0015] The segment 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 constitutes a part of the tunnel structure in a shield tunnel. In the shield method for constructing a shield tunnel, while the ground is excavated with a shield machine, a cylindrical or arch-shaped tunnel structure (lining) is constructed by connecting multiple segments 1 one after another in the tunnel circumferential direction and tunnel axial direction behind the shield machine (the tunnel entrance side). Specifically, at the tunnel entrance side, a segment ring is constructed by connecting multiple segments 1 in the tunnel circumferential direction, and the segment 1 of the next segment ring is connected to the side of this segment ring on the face side in the tunnel axial direction. By repeating this procedure, the tunnel structure is constructed inside the excavated hole excavated by the shield machine.

[0016] The segment 1 is configured to include a segment piece 2 and a waterproof sheet 3. In this embodiment, the segment 1 further includes a corner cover seal 4. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the segment piece 2, Figs. 4 and 5 are each a perspective view of members that constitute the waterproof sheet 3, and Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the corner cover seal 4.

[0017] The segment piece 2 is a precast concrete member that constitutes the tunnel structure, and is the main body of the segment 1. In plan view (for example, plan view seen from the natural ground side), the segment piece 2 is formed in a rectangular shape with the long side in the tunnel circumferential direction and the short side in the tunnel axial direction, and in side view seen from the tunnel axial direction, it has a predetermined thickness and is formed in an arc shape curved to fit the inner circumferential surface of the excavation hole (see Fig. 3).

[0018] Side surfaces 2a1, 2a2 on both sides in the tunnel axial direction of the segment piece 2 form connection surfaces with other segments 1 (segment rings) adjacent in the tunnel axial direction, and side surfaces 2b1, 2b2 on both sides in the tunnel circumferential direction of the segment piece 2 form connection surfaces with other segments 1 adjacent in the tunnel circumferential direction. Although not shown in the figures, each side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) is provided with a connection structure (connector) consisting of, for example, a male joint and a female joint for connection with other adjacent segments 1.

[0019] In this embodiment, a seal groove 21 for accommodating a seal member, i.e., for accommodating a seal member 5 (see FIG. 10 described later), is formed on the side surfaces 2a1, 2a2 in the tunnel axis direction and the side surfaces 2b1, 2b2 in the tunnel circumferential direction of the segment piece 2 so as to extend in a direction parallel to the back surface 2c, which is the natural ground side surface of the segment piece 2. The seal member 5 is made of, for example, an elastic material. The seal groove 21 is recessed, for example, at two locations spaced apart in the thickness direction of the segment piece 2. The seal member 5 is a member for sealing the gap between adjacent segment pieces 2 and for preventing water from entering the tunnel through the gap from the natural ground side in a tunnel structure made up of a plurality of segments 1.

[0020] The waterproof sheet 3 is a sheet that covers the surface of the segment piece 2. This waterproof sheet 3 is provided from the back surface 2c, which is the surface of the segment piece 2 facing the natural ground, to the side surfaces 2a1 and 2a2 on both sides in the tunnel axial direction and the side surfaces 2b1 and 2b2 on both sides in the tunnel circumferential direction.

[0021] As can be seen from Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, the waterproof sheet 3 has a back sheet portion 31 corresponding to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2, a first side sheet portion 32 corresponding to one side surface 2a1 (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as the first side surface 2a1) in the tunnel axial direction, a second side sheet portion 33 corresponding to the other side surface 2a2 (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as the second side surface 2a2) in the tunnel axial direction, a third side sheet portion 34 corresponding to one side surface 2b1 (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as the third side surface 2b1) in the tunnel circumferential direction, and a fourth side sheet portion 35 corresponding to the other side surface 2b2 (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as the fourth side surface 2b2) in the tunnel circumferential direction. Although not particularly limited, in this embodiment, the one side in the tunnel axial direction is the face side, and the other side in the tunnel axial direction is the tunnel mouth side.

[0022] The rear sheet portion 31 is arranged along the rear surface 2c of the segment piece 2 and is the part of the waterproof sheet 3 that covers the rear surface 2c of the segment piece 2, and is formed, for example, in a rectangular shape of the same dimensions as the rear surface 2c when viewed in a planar view from the ground side.

[0023] Specifically, the back sheet portion 31 is made of a film-like or thin sheet-like member that covers the entire back surface 2 c of the segment piece 2 .

[0024] In this embodiment, the first side sheet portion 32 and the second side sheet portion 33 of the waterproof sheet 3 are both made of a first member formed of a member separate from the member constituting the back sheet portion 31. Similarly, in this embodiment, the third side sheet portion 34 and the fourth side sheet portion 35 of the waterproof sheet 3 are both made of a second member formed of a member separate from the member constituting the back sheet portion 31. In other words, in this embodiment, each of the side sheet portions (32 to 35) in the waterproof sheet 3 is made of a member formed of a member separate from the member constituting the back sheet portion 31.

[0025] As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, in this embodiment, the first member constituting the first side sheet portion 32 and the second side sheet portion 33 and the second member constituting the third side sheet portion 34 and the fourth side sheet portion 35 are molded products having an L-shaped cross-sectional shape that covers the edge portion on the back surface 2c side of the segment piece 2. The first member constituting the first side sheet portion 32 and the second side sheet portion 33 is curved in an arc shape that matches the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2, and the second member constituting the third side sheet portion 34 and the fourth side sheet portion 35 extends linearly. The "edge portion" covered by the first member and the second member refers to a portion having a predetermined width on the back surface 2c side and the side (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) side. The first side sheet portion 32 and the second side sheet portion 33 are molded to have the same shape as each other, and the third side sheet portion 34 and the fourth side sheet portion 35 are also molded to have the same shape as each other.

[0026] Specifically, with regard to the four edges on the back surface 2c side of the segment piece 2, the first side sheet portion 32 covers the portion (long side portion) on the first side surface 2a1 side, the second side sheet portion 33 covers the portion (long side portion) on the second side surface 2a2 side, the third side sheet portion 34 covers the portion (short side portion) on the third side surface 2b1 side, and the fourth side sheet portion 35 covers the portion (short side portion) on the fourth side surface 2b2 side.

[0027] In this embodiment, as described above, the back sheet portion 31 is formed in a rectangular shape having the same dimensions as the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2. The back sheet portion 31 is attached to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2 with each edge portion of the back sheet portion 31 being sandwiched between the corresponding side sheet portion (32-35) and the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2. Each side sheet portion (32-35) has a portion that is attached from above to the corresponding edge portion of the back sheet portion 31 and a portion that is directly attached to the corresponding side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2, and is configured to cover the corresponding edge portion on the back surface 2c side of the segment piece 2 by being attached in this manner.

[0028] In this embodiment, each of the side sheet portions (32-35) is provided from the edge of the back sheet portion 31 to a portion just before the seal groove portion 21. Specifically, each of the side sheet portions (32-35) is provided up to a portion just before the seal groove portion 21 on the natural ground side of the two seal groove portions 21.

[0029] Here, the members (materials) used for forming the waterproof sheet 3 have excellent material properties, such as water resistance, alkali resistance (for example, hardly changes in quality at pH 11 to 12), damage prevention properties, and ultraviolet light resistance. Therefore, the film-like or sheet-like member forming the back sheet portion 31, the first member forming the first side sheet portion 32 and the second side sheet portion 33, and the second member forming the third side sheet portion 34 and the fourth side sheet portion 35 have such material properties.

[0030] Furthermore, the members that make up the waterproof sheet 3 are elastic. Therefore, the back sheet portion 31 and each side sheet portion (32-35) can expand and contract in response to displacements such as cracks in the concrete that makes up the segment piece 2. In other words, the waterproof sheet 3 is a crack-conforming sheet. Furthermore, when connecting to another adjacent segment 1, each side sheet portion (32-35) is pressed by the other segment 1 and elastically deforms together with the sealing member 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, the members (materials) constituting the waterproof sheet 3 have material properties that allow them to be attached to the surface of the concrete via alkaline bleeding water that rises from within the concrete constituting the segment piece 2 to the surface of the concrete during the manufacturing process of the segment piece 2. The members constituting the waterproof sheet 3 attached to the surface of the segment piece 2 can be firmly attached without peeling off from the segment piece 2 not only when the segment 1 is used, but also during the steam curing process of the concrete, the underwater curing process, and when the segment 1 is stored, which will be described later. The attachment (joining) of each side sheet portion (32-35) to the corresponding edge portion of the back sheet portion 31 is performed, for example, by an adhesive. In addition, in cases where the amount of bleeding water is insufficient when the side sheet portions (32-35) are attached to the respective side surfaces (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2, the attachment (joining) of each side sheet portion (32-35) to the respective side surfaces (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2 may also be performed by an adhesive.

[0032] As shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 6, the corner cover seals 4 are formed to cover the portions of the waterproof sheet 3 that correspond to the four corners C on the back surface 2c side of the segment piece 2. That is, the segment 1 has four corner cover seals 4. Each corner cover seal 4 is attached (joined) to each side sheet portion (32-35) by, for example, an adhesive. The corner cover seals 4 have the same material properties as the first member and the second member (each side sheet portion (32-35)). The corner cover seals 4 can protect the portions of the waterproof sheet 3 that correspond to the four corners C on the back surface 2c side of the segment piece 2, and can also close gaps between the side sheet portions that may occur in these portions from above.

[0033] Next, a method for manufacturing the segment 1 in this embodiment will be described below mainly with reference to Figures 7 to 9. Figures 7 to 9 are each an example of a process diagram for explaining the method for manufacturing the segment 1, and in this embodiment, the process proceeds in the order of Figures 7(a) to 7(c), Figures 8(d) to 8(f), and Figures 9(g) to 9(i).

[0034] In this embodiment, the manufacturing method for segment 1 includes a formwork assembling process (see Figure 7(a)), a concrete pouring process (see Figure 7(b)), a surface finishing process (see Figure 7(c)), a back covering process (see Figure 8(d)), a steam curing process (see Figure 8(e)), a demolding process (see Figure 8(f)), a side covering process (see Figure 9(g)), a corner covering process (see Figure 9(h)), and an underwater curing process (see Figure 9(i)).

[0035] In the form assembly process shown in Fig. 7(a), the form M is assembled. In this embodiment, the form M is arranged so that a portion of the form M that corresponds to the natural ground side of the segment 1 when in use, i.e., a portion corresponding to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2, faces upward in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the portion of the form M that corresponds to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2 is open and not closed by a form member.

[0036] In the concrete pouring process shown in Fig. 7(b), concrete that constitutes the segment pieces 2 is poured into the formwork M. Although not shown in the figure, before pouring the concrete, a pre-assembled reinforcing bar cage is inserted into the formwork M. Thereafter, the concrete is poured and compacted.

[0037] In the surface finishing process shown in Fig. 7(c), the exposed surface of the concrete poured in the formwork M is smoothed and finished evenly with a wooden trowel or metal trowel. Because the poured concrete has low fluidity, this surface finishing process finishes the exposed surface of the concrete into a curved surface.

[0038] In the back surface covering process shown in Figure 8 (d), the portion of the concrete in the formwork M corresponding to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2 (i.e., the curved surface finished in the surface finishing process) is covered (wrapped) with the back surface sheet portion 31.

[0039] In this embodiment, the back covering process is performed after pouring concrete into the formwork M for the segment piece (more specifically, after the surface finishing process) and before steam curing of the concrete (steam curing process), in which the portion of the concrete corresponding to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2 is covered with the back sheet portion 31.

[0040] Specifically, the member constituting the back sheet portion 31 is prepared, for example, by cutting a rolled film-like or sheet-like material according to the dimensions of the back surface 2c. The member constituting the back sheet portion 31 is then placed on the curved surface of the concrete by a worker or the like, and is uniformly finished (laminated) over the entire surface using a wooden trowel or metal trowel to prevent wrinkles, air pockets, and the like.

[0041] Conventionally, in order to prevent drying shrinkage of the exposed surface of the poured concrete, the exposed surface of the concrete is covered with a curing sheet immediately after pouring the concrete, and this curing sheet is removed, for example, after the concrete has hardened. Meanwhile, the back sheet portion 31 functions as a sheet to prevent drying shrinkage of the concrete during the manufacturing process in place of the conventional curing sheet, and is not peeled off even after the concrete has hardened, and furthermore, it is not peeled off even when the segment 1 is in use, covering the back surface 2c as it is, and functions as a part of the waterproof sheet 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, the back sheet portion 31 is attached to the surface of the concrete via bleeding water in the surface layer of the concrete. That is, the back sheet portion 31 is placed on a portion of the concrete that corresponds to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2, and the back sheet portion 31 is attached (joined) to the surface of the concrete by using bleeding water.

[0043] The steam curing process shown in Fig. 8(e) is a process for quickly increasing the strength of the concrete by storing the form M into which the concrete has been poured in a high-temperature steam chamber filled with high-temperature steam for a predetermined period of time. In this process, for example, the concrete develops the strength required for demolding the form M.

[0044] As described above, in this embodiment, the back coating step and steam curing (steam curing step) are performed before the formwork is removed (demolding step).

[0045] 8(f), the formwork M is removed (disassembled) after the concrete has developed a predetermined strength. Note that instead of disassembling the formwork M, the formwork may be removed by removing the concrete (more specifically, the integrated body of the segment piece 2 and the back sheet portion 31) from the formwork M that has developed a predetermined strength.

[0046] 9(g), the edge portions on the back surface 2c side of the segment piece 2 formed by the formwork M are covered (wrapped) with the remaining members constituting the waterproof sheet 3. Specifically, for the four edge portions on the back surface 2c side of the segment piece 2, the portion on the first side surface 2a1 side is covered with the first side surface sheet portion 32, the portion on the second side surface 2a2 side is covered with the second side surface sheet portion 33, the portion on the third side surface 2b1 side is covered with the third side surface sheet portion 34, and the portion on the fourth side surface 2b2 side is covered with the fourth side surface sheet portion 35.

[0047] In this embodiment, each side sheet portion (32-35) is attached from above to the corresponding edge portion of the back sheet portion 31 and directly attached to the corresponding side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2, so that each side sheet portion (32-35) covers the corresponding edge portion on the back surface 2c side of the segment piece 2. The attachment (joining) of each side sheet portion (32-35) to the corresponding edge portion of the back sheet portion 31 is performed, for example, by an adhesive. Also, when attaching each side sheet portion (32-35) to the corresponding side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2, the amount of bleeding water may be insufficient. In this case, the attachment (joining) of each side sheet portion (32-35) to the corresponding side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2 may also be performed by an adhesive.

[0048] In the corner covering process shown in Fig. 9(h), the portions of the waterproof sheet 3 that correspond to the four corners C on the back surface 2c side of the segment piece 2 are covered with corner cover seals 4. Specifically, each corner cover seal 4 is attached (joined) to each side sheet portion (32-35) with an adhesive.

[0049] In the underwater curing process shown in Fig. 9(i), the integrated body of the segment piece 2 and the waterproof sheet 3 is stored underwater for a predetermined number of days. Specifically, the integrated body of the segment piece 2 and the waterproof sheet 3 is lifted and stored underwater in an upright state as shown in Fig. 9(i). In this process, for example, the segment piece 2 develops the concrete strength and quality required as part of the tunnel structure.

[0050] After a predetermined number of days have passed, the integrated body of the segment pieces 2 and the waterproof sheet 3 is pulled out of the water and stored (stocked) on land until it is shipped. This completes the manufacture of the segment 1 consisting of the segment pieces 2 and the waterproof sheet 3.

[0051] Next, the waterproofing effect of the segment 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a partial cross-sectional view for explaining the waterproofing effect of the segment 1. Fig. 10(a) shows the connection state of adjacent segments 1 in the tunnel axis direction, and Fig. 10(b) shows the connection state of adjacent segments 1 in the tunnel circumferential direction.

[0052] When adjacent segments 1 are connected by a connection structure (connector) not shown, each side sheet portion (32-35) is pressed by the other segment 1 and elastically deforms together with the seal member 5. At this time, the first side sheet portion 32 of the waterproof sheet 3 of one segment 1 and the second side sheet portion 33 of the waterproof sheet 3 of the other segment 1 are crushed and in close contact with each other (see FIG. 10(a)). Then, the third side sheet portion 34 of the waterproof sheet 3 of one segment 1 and the fourth side sheet portion 35 of the waterproof sheet 3 of the other segment 1 are crushed and in close contact with each other (see FIG. 10(b)). As a result, the area on the ground side of the gap between adjacent segment pieces 2 is generally sealed by each side sheet portion (32-35). As a result, water is prevented from entering through the gap between adjacent segment pieces 2. In addition, by providing a seal member 5 on the tunnel center side as in this embodiment, water is more reliably prevented from entering through the gap between adjacent segment pieces 2.

[0053] The back surface 2c of the segment piece 2 is covered by the back surface sheet portion 31 of the waterproof sheet 3, so that water on the natural ground side is prevented from reaching the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2 and from infiltrating into the segment piece 2 from the back surface 2c side. In addition, the portions of each side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2 in front of the seal groove portion 21 on the natural ground side (natural ground side) are all covered by the corresponding side surface sheet portions (32-35), and the natural ground side seal member 5 prevents water from the natural ground side from reaching the remaining portions of each side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2 that are not covered by the side surface sheet portions (32-35). This prevents water on the natural ground side from reaching each side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2 and water on the natural ground side from infiltrating into the segment piece 2 from each side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2).

[0054] In addition, when the segment 1 is in use, even if minute cracks or other such cracks that do not affect strength occur in the surface layer on the back surface 2c side or the surface layer on the side surfaces (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2, the back sheet portion 31 and each side sheet portion (32-35) will not break and will expand and contract in response to the displacement of the cracks or other such cracks in the surface layer. Therefore, water on the natural ground side is prevented from passing through the waterproof sheet 3 and entering the segment piece 2 through minute cracks that may occur in the surface layer of the segment piece 2. As a result, the durability and water resistance of the segment piece 2 are further improved.

[0055] According to the segment 1 and its manufacturing method of this embodiment, the waterproof sheet 3 is provided from the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2 to the side surfaces 2a1, 2a2 on both sides in the tunnel axial direction and the side surfaces 2b1, 2b2 on both sides in the tunnel circumferential direction, and has a back surface sheet portion 31 corresponding to the back surface 2c, and a first side surface sheet portion 32, a second side surface sheet portion 33, a third side surface sheet portion 34, and a fourth side surface sheet portion 35 corresponding to each side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2). In this way, since each side surface (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2 is covered by the first side surface sheet portion 32, the second side surface sheet portion 33, the third side surface sheet portion 34, and the fourth side surface sheet portion 35, even if water infiltrates from the ground side into the gap between the side surfaces of the adjacent segment pieces 2, the infiltration of water into the segment piece 2 can be prevented by each of these side surface sheet portions (32 to 35).

[0056] In this way, it is possible to provide a segment 1 having a waterproof sheet 3 capable of preventing water from entering the segment piece 2 from the side surfaces 2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2) of the segment piece 2, and a manufacturing method thereof.

[0057] In this embodiment, each of the side sheet portions (32-35) in the waterproof sheet 3 is made of a member formed by a member separated from the member constituting the back sheet portion 31. As a result, each of the side sheet portions (32-35) having a more complex shape than the back sheet portion 31 can be formed separately from the back sheet portion 31 having a simple shape, so that the waterproof sheet 3 can be manufactured extremely easily compared to the case where the entire waterproof sheet 3 is integrally formed. In particular, the first side sheet portion 32 and the second side sheet portion 33 in the tunnel axis direction are three-dimensionally curved and have a more complex shape than the other side sheet portions (34, 35). Therefore, it is preferable in manufacturing the segment 1 to configure the first side sheet portion 32 and the second side sheet portion 33 of the side sheet portions (32-35) to be made of a member formed by a member separated from the member constituting the back sheet portion 31.

[0058] In this embodiment, each side sheet portion (32-35) is provided from the edge of the back sheet portion 31 to the portion just before the seal groove portion 21. In other words, of the corresponding side surfaces (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2), only the portions on the natural ground side where water is likely to reach are covered by each side sheet portion (32-35), and as a result, the material cost of the waterproof sheet 3 can be reduced.

[0059] According to the manufacturing method of the segment 1 in this embodiment, the back covering step is performed after pouring concrete into the formwork M for the segment pieces and before steam curing of the concrete, so the back sheet portion 31 of the waterproof sheet 3 can be used as a curing sheet for the concrete during segment manufacturing, particularly during steam curing. As a result, there is no need to separately prepare a curing sheet for the concrete during steam curing, and it is possible to reduce the curing work and manufacturing costs.

[0060] According to the manufacturing method of the segment 1 in this embodiment, the portion of the formwork M that corresponds to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2 is configured to be open, and a back surface covering step and steam curing (steam curing step) are performed before removing the formwork M. As a result, immediately after pouring the concrete (more specifically, immediately after the surface finishing step), the surface of the concrete in the formwork M can be quickly covered with the back surface sheet portion 31, and the process can proceed directly to the steam curing step.

[0061] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made based on the technical concept of the present invention.

[0062] For example, each side sheet portion (32-35) of the waterproof sheet 3 is provided from the edge of the back sheet portion 31 to the portion just before the seal groove portion 21 on the ground side, but this is not limited to this and the side sheet portions may be provided over the entire corresponding side surfaces (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2).

[0063] In addition, each of the side sheet portions (32-35) in the waterproof sheet 3 is made of a member (first member, second member) formed by a member separate from the member constituting the back sheet portion 31, but this is not limited thereto. For example, if at least one of the side sheet portions (32-35) is made of a member formed by a member separate from the member constituting the back sheet portion 31, the waterproof sheet 3 can be manufactured more easily than when the entire waterproof sheet 3 is integrally formed. In other words, it is preferable in manufacturing the segment 1 if at least one of the first side sheet portion 32 and the second side sheet portion 33 is made of the first member, and / or at least one of the third side sheet portion 34 and the fourth side sheet portion 35 is made of the second member. In this case, since some of the side sheet portions (32-35) are formed integrally with the member constituting the back sheet portion 31, they cannot be attached (joined) by being pasted to the corresponding portion of the concrete before the formwork M is removed. Therefore, in this case, for example, the steam curing step may be carried out with only the back sheet portion 31 attached to the concrete, and then, after the demolding step is completed (after demolding), the side surface covering step may be carried out.

[0064] In addition, the first member constituting the first side sheet portion 32 and the second side sheet portion 33 and the second member constituting the third side sheet portion 34 and the fourth side sheet portion 35 are molded products having an L-shaped cross-sectional shape covering the edge portion on the back surface 2c side of the segment piece 2, but are not limited thereto and may be members formed by hardening a resin-based lining material applied to the corresponding side surfaces (2a1, 2a2, 2b1, 2b2). Even in this case, a film-like or sheet-like material (member) can be used for the back surface sheet portion 31, which occupies the majority of the waterproof sheet 3, so that the quality of the waterproof sheet 3 can be uniformed. If the back surface sheet portion 31 is also coated with a resin-based lining material to form it as a part of the waterproof sheet 3, two to three layers of coating are required, a curing period is required for each coating, and the segment piece 2 needs to be erected multiple times. Taking these points into consideration, constructing at least the back sheet portion 31 of the waterproof sheet 3 by bonding a film-like or sheet-like material (component) to the back surface 2c is extremely advantageous in terms of standardizing the quality of the waterproof sheet 3 and manufacturing the segment 1.

[0065] Furthermore, in the manufacturing method of the segment 1, steam curing and underwater curing are performed, but this is not limited to this. For example, only steam curing or only underwater curing may be performed, taking into consideration design strength, design quality, manufacturing period, manufacturing cost, etc. For example, if only underwater curing is performed, the back coating process does not have to be performed before demolding, but may be performed after demolding. In other words, the back coating process may be performed after pouring of concrete and before steam curing or underwater curing of concrete.

[0066] In addition, the portion of the form M corresponding to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2 is open, but this is not limited to the above and may be closed. In other words, the form M is not limited to an open-top structure, but may be a completely sealed structure having a form member in contact with the portion corresponding to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2. In this case, for example, the back surface covering step may be performed after only the form member of the completely sealed form M in the portion corresponding to the back surface 2c of the segment piece 2 is removed. And the corner cover seal 4 may not be provided. [Explanation of symbols]
