The invention provides a monitoring method for a surrounding rock and full face
tunnel boring machine shield interaction process. The method comprises the steps of: A,
welding and installing pressure boxes to the outer surface of a shield for testing the
extrusion force applied to the shield by surrounding rocks directly, placing cables of the pressure boxes in
flexible cable-protecting casing pipes, and leading the cables into the shield and connecting the cables to a reading device; B, installing a
surface strain sensor in each of the annular direction and the longitudinal direction of each monitoring point on the inner surface of the shield, and inversely calculating the
extrusion force applied to the shield by the surrounding rocks according to the principle of elastic
mechanics based on the tested annular and longitudinal strains of the inner surface of the shield; C, according to the acquired distribution rules of the
extrusion force applied to the shield by the surrounding rocks, calculating the
friction force borne by the shield on the premise of
linear distribution of the extrusion force between two adjacent measuring points; D, according to the jamming state judging criteria and jamming risk coefficient calculation method, calculating whether the shield is jammed and giving early warning of a jamming
risk level. The method solves the problem in monitoring of surrounding rock and shield interaction in a shield type TMB tunneling process, provides basis for the predictive analysis of jamming accidents and is of great importance for the safety of TBM tunneling.
