Numerical Analysis and Risk Assessment on Face Stability of Large-Diameter Tunnels
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the two types of shield tunneling such as Slurry and EPB shield the stability of tunnel face depends on the prevailing support pressure. The support pressure at the tunnel face has to be applied to a value that gives as well sufficient safety against a collapse of the tunnel face as the against uplifting. The paper aims at a better understanding of the mechanics of face failure for those lager-diameter tunnels. And some different determination methods of the applied support pressure are compared and given a risk assessment, which are illustrated their application by numerical analysis in the Yangtze River Tunnel of Shanghai.

A 3D Finite-Difference Analysis of Interaction between a Newly-Driven Large Tunnel with Twin Tunnels in Urban Areas
Evaluation of the interaction between a new and the existing underground structures is one of the important problems in urban tunneling. In this work, using FLAC3D, four numerical models of single- and twin-tube tunnels in urban areas are developed, where the horizontal distance between the single- and twin-tube tunnels are varied. The aim is to analyze the effects of the horizontal dista...

The hydraulic pressure is one of the most important factors in the design of pressure intake tunnels. Since the surrounding media cannot usually resist the high internal pressure of these tunnels, they are usually finished with an adequate lining mostly of reinforced concrete, which is an interaction problem between water, soil or rock and concrete lining. Although reinforcing the concrete lini...
متن کاملStudying Peak Particle Velocity Due to Blast in Development Tunnels’ Face in Coal Stoping
The impact of blast-driven shocks on the safety and stability of the underground coal mines has been well established. The seismic imperfections resulting from blasting depend on the total explosive energy released during blasting and the closeness of the development tunnel face to the stope face. Also, the quality of the rock mass wherein the whole stope face is located might pose considerable...
