Safety Control Technology and Monitoring Analysis for Shield-Tunnel-Stacked Underpass High-Speed Rail Bridge Excavation

Abstract

In order to ensure the safety of the Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway during the construction and operation of the shield tunnel on Line R1 of the Jinan Metro, a numerical simulation of geological disturbance during the underpass of the small-radius stacked tunnel was carried out. We analyzed the mechanism of geological deformation and the construction factors affecting settlement and found that bridge settlement far exceeded safety standards without taking safety control measures. In this regard, safety control technologies such as setting isolation pile sleeve valve pipes, controlling shield tunneling parameters, grouting control technology, and trolley support technology have been proposed. Monitoring was conducted on the uneven settlement of the bridge surface, the internal and external stresses of the pipe segments, and the soil pressure they were subjected to. The results showed that the surface settlement of the bridge after safety control measures was controlled within the safety standard range, and the stress and soil pressure changes of the pipe reinforcement were within the allowable range, further verifying the effectiveness of the safety control measures.
