Numerical Analysis of Post-Construction Subway Settlement and Variation of Pore Pressures under the Influence of Construction Disturbance
(1 Zhejiang Institute of Communications, Hangzhou 311112; 2 Department of Civil Engineering, Zhejiang University City College,Hangzhou 310015; 3 Hangzhou MTR, Hangzhou 310017)
Abstract At present, the subsoil deformation and pore pressure variation caused by metro construction have re?
ceived extensive attention. Based on the Henkel pore pressure theory under three-dimensional stress conditions, the initial excess pore pressure at a tunnel spring line was obtained. The post-construction consolidation of the Hangzhou metro was simulated through the establishment of a three-dimensional finite-element model by MIDAS-GTS,and the subsoil settlement and distribution of the pore pressure at different time periods due to construction disturbance was analyzed. The results show that: the distribution of excess pore pressure is symmetrical and its dissipation is consistent with the subsoil consolidation degree after construction; consolidation settlement mainly occurs at the beginning of shield tunnelling and reaches a maximum at the ground; and the variation of pore pressure caused by metro operation decreases with an increase of the consolidation degree.
