Abstract
Ground fissures, as a typical geohazard, pose potential georisks to the construction and maintenance of urban transportation infrastructure. Under the influence of ground fissures, the segmented tunnel structure used in subway systems complicates the propagation of subway train vibrations. In this study, the soil acceleration, earth pressure and contact pressure of a three-section subway tunnel under dynamic loading of a subway train in a ground fissure environment were observed and analyzed by physical modeling tests, and the effects of the presence and activity of the ground fissure and tunnel segmentation were discussed. The results show that the vibration generated by the subway traveling will have different degrees of attenuation when propagating in all directions in the soil layer, and the ground fissure has a damping effect on the subway vibration. The attenuation and enhancement of acceleration by ground fissure is affected by the activity and propagation direction of ground fissure. The distribution of additional earth pressure is affected by the ground fissure, soil contact state, which is related to the ground fissure activity state. The ground fissure activity on the contact additional pressure mainly focuses on the bottom and top of the tunnel and there are differences in the location of the hanging wall and footwall. Three-section tunnels have a stronger vibration response and vibration attenuation than monolithic tunnels due to the influence of segmentation. Based on the consideration of the effects of ground fissure and tunnel segmentation, the tunnel design mainly takes into account the amount of ground fissure activity and determines the structural measures, the tunnel structure at the location of the ground fissure is strengthened, in addition to the vibration attenuation measures for the segmented tunnels when crossing the ground fissure. The discussion of mechanical response and design measures in this study helps to reduce the georisk of ground fissures on urban underground transportation infrastructure.
期刊介绍：
Frontiers in Earth Science is an open-access journal that aims to bring together and publish on a single platform the best research dedicated to our planet.
This platform hosts the rapidly growing and continuously expanding domains in Earth Science, involving the lithosphere (including the geosciences spectrum), the hydrosphere (including marine geosciences and hydrology, complementing the existing Frontiers journal on Marine Science) and the atmosphere (including meteorology and climatology). As such, Frontiers in Earth Science focuses on the countless processes operating within and among the major spheres constituting our planet. In turn, the understanding of these processes provides the theoretical background to better use the available resources and to face the major environmental challenges (including earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions, floods, landslides, climate changes, extreme meteorological events): this is where interdependent processes meet, requiring a holistic view to better live on and with our planet.
The journal welcomes outstanding contributions in any domain of Earth Science.
The open-access model developed by Frontiers offers a fast, efficient, timely and dynamic alternative to traditional publication formats. The journal has 20 specialty sections at the first tier, each acting as an independent journal with a full editorial board. The traditional peer-review process is adapted to guarantee fairness and efficiency using a thorough paperless process, with real-time author-reviewer-editor interactions, collaborative reviewer mandates to maximize quality, and reviewer disclosure after article acceptance. While maintaining a rigorous peer-review, this system allows for a process whereby accepted articles are published online on average 90 days after submission.
General Commentary articles as well as Book Reviews in Frontiers in Earth Science are only accepted upon invitation.
