Physical And Mechanical Characteristics

Many uncertain factors, e.g. surrounding rock physical and mechanical characteristics, are important influence effecting on lining structure safety. By comprehensively considering uncertainties of surrounding rock conditions (lining structure and initial stress), we put forward a new method used to quantitative analysis on the lining structure safety. Analyzing the uncertainties and their distribution characteristics of hydraulic tunnels, we adopted stochastic finite elements method to calculate failure probability of lining structures corresponding to various geological conditions, and then the reliability and sensitivity were achieved. Applying the presented method to a practical project, we got the failure probability of the tunnel lining structure under the construction condition, which provided great support for structure optimal design and tunnel construction safety protection.

The existing tunnel lining structure is easily affected by geological conditions, disturbance in the early stage of construction and operation in the later stage. This paper analyzes the main factors affecting the lining structure diseases of existing tunnels from three aspects of engineering construction, natural environment and engineering geology, starting from 13 independent factors affecting the lining structure diseases of existing tunnels. First of all, the index system of the formation factors of lining diseases in the reconstruction and expansion tunnel is established by using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and the hierarchical index system is put forward. Based on AHP-Extenics model, the evaluation method of lining structure disease of existing tunnel is proposed. Then, combined with engineering practice and expert scoring, the weight of safety evaluation index is determined, and the safety evaluation index and weight are expanded by using correlation function. Finally, the disease evaluation grade of the existing tunnel lining structure is obtained. This method uses the formal Extenics comprehensive evaluation model, which makes the calculation results more objective and provides a new method for the disease evaluation of the existing tunnel lining structure.

Water Conveyance Tunnel

This paper presents a numerical study that aims to compare the behavior of the segmental tunnel lining using the direct, indirect and experimental methods. This model is based on a practical case applied in university of Tongji: a project of water conveyance tunnel. A reduction in the bending moment and increasing of the displacement in the tunnel lining is showed in numerical results, when taking into account the effect of the joints. It has been shown that the number of joints in the tunnel-lining structure highly affects the results in terms internal forces and displacements. Furthermore, the internal forces obtained by the continuous method are high compared to the other methods when the effects on segmental joints on tunnel lining behaviour are usually considered. Additionally, the bending moment of the direct method with behaviour of rotation spring linear and experimental method is comparable.

Lining Structure

Tunnel lining crack is the most common disease and also the manifestation of other diseases, which widely exists in plain concrete lining structure. Proper evaluation and classification of engineering conditions directly relate to operation safety. Particle flow code (PFC) calculation software is applied in this study, and the simulation reliability is verified by using the laboratory axial compression test and 1 : 10 model experiment to calibrate the calculation parameters. Parameter analysis is carried out focusing on the load parameters, structural parameters, dimension, and direction which affect the crack diseases. Based on that, an evaluation index system represented by tunnel buried depth (H), crack position (P), crack length (L), crack width (W), crack depth (D), and crack direction (A) is put forward. The training data of the back propagation (BP) neural network which takes load-bearing safety and crack stability as the evaluation criteria are obtained. An expert system is introduced into the BP neural network for correction of prediction results, realizing classified dynamic optimization of complex engineering conditions. The results of this study can be used to judge the safety state of cracked lining structure and provide guidance to the prevention and control of crack diseases, which is significant to ensure the safety of tunnel operation.

The theoretical formula of the maximum internal forces for circular tunnel lining structure under impact loads of the underground is deduced in this paper. The internal force calculation formula under different equivalent forms of impact pseudostatic loads is obtained. Furthermore, by comparing the theoretical solution with the measured data of the top blasting model test of circular formula under different equivalent forms of impact pseudostatic loads are obtained. Furthermore, by comparing the theoretical solution with the measured data of the top blasting model test of circular tunnel, it is found that the proposed theoretical results accord with the experimental values well. The corresponding equivalent impact pseudostatic triangular load is the most realistic pattern of all test equivalent forms. The equivalent impact pseudostatic load model and maximum solution of the internal force for tunnel lining structure are partially verified.

In order to survey the time-varying effect on shield tunnel lining structure, rigidity reduce in the Homogeneous Ring Design Theory is introduced. There are three methods to evaluate the rigidity reduction caused by the aging effect. The first is the bending rigidity analysis method, which considers that the bending rigidity changes with the time-dependent stress and strain. The second is the method named the equivalent moment of inertia; the last is aging coefficient method. With the Homogeneous Ring Design Theory, the internal forces and displacement of the shield tunnel segment lining can be calculated. Based on the preliminary results, using the 1st method, the reduced rigidity and the long-time displacement at different instants of time can be calculated. It is found that the concrete shrinkage and creep effect can’t be ignored in the segment design. The survey is beneficial to monitor the deformation of tunnel lining, and the maintenance of the segments. It will make the tunnel work steadily and safely during the using period.
