Construction Techniques for the Small-radius Curved Shield Tunnels in Water-rich Fractured Stratum with High Pressure
(1 Beijing Collaborative Innovation Center for Metropolitan Transportation, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124; 2 The 6th Engineering Co., Ltd. of China Railway 17th Bureau Group Co., Ltd., Fuzhou 350014)
Abstract A variety of construction problems, such as bad cutting effects of cutters, unreasonable boring parame? ters and blowout, are often encountered during shield tunnelling under unfavorable geological conditions. Aimed at these construction difficulties of high pressure, abundant underground water, fractured rock stratum, long distance and small-radius curves of Fuzhou metro, the mechanical behaviors of cutting tools were analyzed through theoretical calculations of cutter cutting force, then the reasonable cutter configuration, tunneling parameters and the proper time for cutter replacement were presented. Some measures, such as screw conveyor renovation, mucking control and lowering of groundwater, were adopted for controlling blowout based on practice. The stability of excavation face was analyzed by numerical simulation, and the measures for shield boring and posture control in the long distance and small radius curved tunnels were summarized. The conclusions are as follows: 1) when shield machine is driven in fractured stratum, the effect of lateral impact force produced by spalling rock on cutter will be very large and reinforcement is needed for cutter; 2) cutter replacement should be taken at proper time based on muck samples in conditions of increasing of total shield thrust by 4 000-7 000 kN, cutter torque by 1 000-1 500 kN·m and driving speed smaller than 10 mm/min; 3) adopting screw conveyor device with innovative anti-blowout devices and control measures for ground precipitation and mucking, it controls blowout effectively; 4) the maximum axis offset and the height offset of segment meet the requirements of shield construction specifications during shield construction of long distance small-radius curved tunnel.
