Abstract
The ground deformation is difficult to control in the construction of tunnels with small-spacing and large-section. Taking a crossover track tunnel in Beijing Metro line 12 as a case, a refined numerical model for tunnels with small-spacing and large-section is established to research the effect of pre-grouting on the ground deformation. Rationality of the numerical model is validated by the good consistence between the field measured simulated results, including the ground and pipelines settlement. Further, by comparing the results of numerical models with and without pre-grouting measures, the effect of pre-grouting measures on the ground deformation, involving in the settlement, horizontal displacement, and the plastic region, are analyzed quantitatively. The implementation of the pre-grouting measures reduces both the maximum settlement at surface and horizontal displacement by approximately 67.5 %, and the PEEQ distribution region is limited to the region outside the pre-grouting, and the moderate and severe disturbance areas are respectively reduced by 65 % and 80 %. Finally, the control mechanism of the pre-grouting on the ground deformation is revealed based on the strength-stiffness theory.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Geotechnics is a journal dedicated to publishing high-quality, theoretical, and applied papers that cover all facets of geotechnics for transportation infrastructure such as roads, highways, railways, underground railways, airfields, and waterways. The journal places a special emphasis on case studies that present original work relevant to the sustainable construction of transportation infrastructure. The scope of topics it addresses includes the geotechnical properties of geomaterials for sustainable and rational design and construction, the behavior of compacted and stabilized geomaterials, the use of geosynthetics and reinforcement in constructed layers and interlayers, ground improvement and slope stability for transportation infrastructures, compaction technology and management, maintenance technology, the impact of climate, embankments for highways and high-speed trains, transition zones, dredging, underwater geotechnics for infrastructure purposes, and the modeling of multi-layered structures and supporting ground under dynamic and repeated loads.
