Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground – Yoo, Park, Kim & Ban (Eds) © 2014 Korean Geotechnical Society, Seoul, Korea, ISBN 978-1-138-02700-8 Shield tunneling analysis and measures under elevated high-speed railway Gong Quanmei, Shan Yao,You Xiaoming & Zhou Shunhua Department of Urban Rail Transit and Railway Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, China Key Laboratory of Road and Traffic Engineering of the Ministry of Education, Tongji University, Shanghai, China ABSTRACT: With the development of rail transit in China more and more shield tunnels have to be constructed under or nearby high-speed railway lines in metropolis. As a result two principal problems arise: (1) since requirements of the running safety of high-speed trains and criteria of the riding comfort of passengers are quite strict, it is difficult to construct shield tunnels beneath high-speed railway lines, and (2) the influence of the load of railway lines on the tunnel construction should be considered. Consequently, treatments of the railway foundation are usually implemented during the tunnel construction to protect the high-speed railway line. In order to determine whether the treatments are actually necessary, numerical simulations based on two real construction cases are taken to evaluate the interactive influence. In site experiments have been employed to validate the calculation. According to the calculation and experiment results recommendations are given in different situations. Keywords: high-speed railway, shield tunneling, running safety, slab track, deformation 1 INTRODUCTION settlement and construction measures. However, most of them were related to ordinary existed railway lines. The sustained growths of the urban population and the Lv & Zhou (2007) and Huo et al.

In order to deformation of the existed railway tracks influenced by reduce the land cost and the construction time most of the construction of the metro tunnel beneath them.

Several studies focused on this issue have been Also many studies were focused on the influence taken to investigate the characteristic of the track of tunneling on adjacent piles, which can be classified 303 broadly into three categories, namely, analytical meth- ods, finite-element methods, and laboratory tests. Analytical methods usually take a two-stage approach, where firstly calculate the free-field soil movements based on the closed-form analytical solutions, and then Figure 1.

R. china ABSTRACT Ningbo is located in the southeast coast plain. There are thick, soft soil deposits lying in the sub-ground, which challenges the construction of urban rail transit in this area. A project of Ningbo Rail Transit Line 1 and the soil conditions for the construction site are firstly presented. Then, the excavation engineering designs for the project are summarized from four aspects: the design of building envelope, vertical and horizontal layout of supporting system, underground water dewatering and ground treatment. Simultaneously, the problems occurred in the design are also described. Lastly, the experiences gained from the project are summed up, so as to guide the further subway construction in the area and also provide a reference for the construction of similar project..

From the perspective of humankind building development history, the 19th century was marked by bridge building and its development, and the 20th century was dominated by a rapid growth in ground buildings. As predicted in the Tokyo Declaration by the Associated Research Centers for Urban Underground Space (ACUUS) in 1991, the 21st century, however, is marked as the development and utilization of the underground space. In the past 30 years, underground engineering has been developing greatly and is characterized as a large scale, deeper stratum, complex environment and extensive fields. Acquiring space and resources and security from underground are the common demand during the modernization development of all countries and regions in the world. Therefore, the efficient development and sustainable utilization of underground space has become an international issue.
