쉴드 TBM 공법은 터널의 변형을 최소화할 수 있는 공법으로 도심지 얕은 터널 공사에 적합한 공법이다. 하지만 이러한 쉴드 TBM 공법의 장점에도 불구하고 침하가 발생하며, 토피가 낮은 지반에서 쉴드 TBM 굴진 중 침하에 대한 대책은 여전히 주요 쟁점사항 중 하나로 남아있다. 쉴드 TBM 공법에서 테일 보이드는 불가피하게 발생하는 공간으로 테일 보이드의 변형은 침하의 주요 원인이 된다. 이러한 테일 보이드의 변형은 뒤채움 그라우팅을 통해 제어되며, 이를 통해 침하를 억제하거나 회복시킬 수 있다고 여겨지고 있다. 하지만 실제 뒤채움 그라우팅을 통한 침하 회복은 기대하기 어려우며 특히 사질토에서 두드러진다. 이는 뒤채움 그라우팅과 사질토 지반 사이의 상호작용에 기인한 것으로 유추할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치해석을 통해 사질토 지반에서 뒤채움 그라우팅이 지반거동에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 해석결과, 뒤채움 그라우팅은 침하증가율을 감소시켜 쉴드 TBM 굴진으로 인하 침하를 감소시키나, 그라우팅 이전에 발생한 침하를 회복시키지는 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 뒤채움 그라우팅으로 인해 감소된 체적손실의 지표침하 감소 효과를 지반 내 체적변형이 상쇄하기 때문인 것으로 나타났다.

Tail-grouting is an effective measure in shield engineering for filling the gap at the shield tail to reduce ground deformation. However, the gap-filling ratio affects the value of the gap parameters, leading to different surface settlements. It is impossible to adjust the fill ratio indiscriminately to study its effect, because the allowable adjustment range of the grouting quantity is limited to ensure construction site safety. In this study, taking the shield tunnel section between Chaoyanggang Station and Shilihe Station of Beijing Metro Line 17 as an example, the correlation between the tail-grouting parameter and the surface settlement is investigated and the optimal grouting quantity is evaluated. This site is suitable for conducting field tests to reduce the tail-grouting quantity of shield tunneling over a large range. In addition, the shield tunneling under different grouting parameters was simulated. Furthermore, we analyzed the evolution law of the surface settlement under different grouting parameters and obtained the difference in the settlement parameters for each construction stage. The results obtained indicate that the characteristics of the grout affect the development of the surface settlement. Therefore, reducing the setting time or increasing the initial strength of the grout could effectively suppress the development of surface subsidence. As the fill ratio decreases, the loose zone of the soil above the tunnel expands, and the soil deformation is easily transmitted to the surface. Meanwhile, owing to insufficient grout support, the lateral pressure on the tunnel segments is significantly reduced, and the segment moves considerably after being removed from the shield tail.

본 논문에서는 점성토 지반에서의 실드 터널 시공에 따른 지표 침하 예측 기법을 제시하였다. 예측 기법을 개발하기 위해 실드 터널의 시공과정을 모사할 수 있는 3차원 유한요소해석기법을 이용하여 매개변수 변환 연구를 수행하였으며, 해석 결과를 이용하여 지반 거동메카니즘을 고찰하고 지반 거동과 영향 요소와의 관계를 나타내는 데이터 베이스를 구축 하였다. 구축된 데이터 베이스에 대한 다중 회귀분석을 통해 막장 상부에서의 지표 침하비와 변곡점의 위치를 결정하는 반경험식을 개발하고 이를 기존의 정규확률분포함수와 접목시켜 횡단면 및 종단면 지표 침하 형상을 예측하는 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 예측 기법은 유효요소 해석 결과 및 현장 계측 자료와의 비교를 통해 그 타당성이 입증되었으며, 따라서 제시된 예측 기법은 본 연구에서 고려한 경계조건과 유사한 조건에서 효율적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Owing to the high strength and abrasive characteristics of cobble-boulders, cutters are easily worn and damaged during shield tunneling, making construction inefficient. In the present work, the stress on the ripper and scraper on the cutterhead was analyzed by the PFC3D-FLAC3D coupling model of shield tunneling to get insight into the performance of the cutterhead for cutting underground cobble and boulders. The numerical calculation results revealed that the increase in trajectory radius leads to a rising stress on the cutters, and the stress on the front cutting surface is greater than that on the back of the cutters. Moreover, the correlation between cutter wear and stress is revealed based on field measurement data. The distribution of the cutter stress is consistent with the cutter wear and breakage characteristics in actual construction, in which more extensive cutter stress is exhibited, extreme cutter wear appears, and more cutter breakage occurs. Finally, the relationship between the cutterhead opening area's layout and cutter wear distribution was investigated, indicating that the cutter wear extent is the most severe in the region where the radial opening ratio dropped sharply.

Evaluating the stability of the excavation face of the cross-river shield tunnel with good accuracy is considered as a nonlinear and multivariable complex issue. Understanding the stability evaluation method of the shield tunnel excavation face is vital to operate and control the shield machine during shield tunneling. Considering the instability mechanism of the excavation face of the cross-river shield and the characteristics of this engineering, seven evaluation indexes of the stability of the excavation face were selected, i.e., the over-span ratio, buried depth of the tunnel, groundwater condition, soil permeability, internal friction angle, soil cohesion and advancing speed. The weight of each evaluation index was obtained by using the analytic hierarchy process and the entropy weight method. The evaluation model of the cross-river shield construction excavation face stability is established based on the idea point method. The feasibility of the evaluation model was verified by the engineering application in a cross-river shield tunnel project in China. Results obtained via the evaluation model are in good agreement with the actual construction situation. The proposed evaluation method is demonstrated as a promising and innovative method for the stability evaluation and safety construction of the cross-river shield tunnel engineerings.

The tunnel excavations are used for construction of common utility tunnel, electric tunnel, communication line tunnel, water supply and public sewerage pile line in urban area. The trench cut methods were mainly used in the past, but now, tunneling method is more being used. The tunnel excavation method like as NATM, Messer-Shield, Semi-Shield Methods are being applied to small section tunnel in Korea. The actual construction results of seme-shield method are increasing due to simplified construction process and reduced noise and vibration. And also this method is being used frequently in waterway tunnel and construction of prevention flooding recently. The seme-shield method design guideline is absence except for electric line tunnel construction in Korea, because of the semi-shield method was developed in Europe and Japan. In the prescriptive design, engineer's subjects are tending to intervene, because of absence of standard and specification for details. Therefore, Design and Construction Problems of Semi-Shield Method were described and construction trouble was introduced for exam. These problem and construction troubles have to be examined thoroughly in advance.

Tunnel excavation in shallow soft ground conditions of urban areas experiences inevitable surface settlements that threaten the stability of nearby infrastructures. Surface settlements during shield TBM tunneling are related to a number of factors including geotechnical conditions, tunnel geometry and excavation methods. In this paper, a database collected from a construction section of Hong Kong subway was used to analyze the correlation of settlement-inducing factors and surface settlements monitored at different locations of a transverse trough. The Pearson correlation analysis result revealed a correlation between the factors in consideration. Factors such as the face pressure, advance speed, thrust force, cutter torque, twin tunnel distance and ground water level presented a modest correlation with the surface settlement, while no significant trends between the other factors and the surface settlements were observed. It can be concluded that an integrated effect of the settlement-inducing factors should be related to the magnitude of surface settlements.

This paper investigated the deformation of a large-diameter pipeline caused by double shield tunnel construction in silty fine sand strata in Nantong, China, by on-site measurements and numerical simulations. Results indicate the pipe settlement curve was not symmetrical after the double tunnel construction in the silty fine sand strata. The construction of the subsequent tunnel had a significantly smaller impact on the stress and horizontal displacement of the pipeline than the preceding tunnel. There is a significant shading effect of the large-diameter pipeline, which would restrict the soil settlement above the pipeline. The adjusted settlement formula shows good agreement with the measured data, facilitating approximate calculations for both surface and pipe settlements. The correction factor a ranges from 0.50 to 0.90, while b ranges from 0.95 to 1.20.The elastic modulus and the burial depth of the pipeline had a great effect on the stress of the pipeline, but a smaller effect on its settlement. However, the soil loss rate greatly affected both the settlement and stress of the pipeline. Moreover, the pipeline risk level distribution map can quickly identify the risk status of the pipeline.
