457 results about "Earth pressure balance" patented technology

Earth pressure balance, or EPB, is a mechanised tunneling method in which the excavated material is used to support the tunnel face whilst it is being plasticised using foams/slurry & other additives to make it transportable and impermeable. The spoil is admitted into the tunnel boring machine (TBM) via a screw conveyor (cochlea) arrangement which allows the pressure at the face of the TBM to remain balanced without the use of slurry.

Calculation formulas of shield earth pressure balance ratio (N / v) and ground loss caused by shield dumping are built in a deduced manner, ground loss caused by shield tail void is considered, spiral conveyer dumping efficiency eta and earth surface settlement trough width I are reversely calculated by the aid of driving data of a shield at the initial driving stage and earth surface settlement data, a control range of the earth pressure balance ratio (N / v) of the shield at next driving stage is built, a reasonable control basis is provided for next driving speed of the shield and spiral conveyer rotating speed according to the range, and procedures are repetitively calculated in next driving process. The earth pressure balance shield driving parameter control method is simple and practical, a quantitatively clear control range can be provided for the driving speed of the shield and the spiral conveyer rotating speed, the problems of overlarge settlement and upheaval of earth surface caused by driving of a tunnel boring machine can be effectively solved.
