Abstract

In oder to find out the influence of large diameter shield tunneling on the existing tunnel under the condition of compound strata in the sea area, taking the Maliuzhou traffic tunnel as the research background, numerical simulation and field test were combined to get the regulation of the additional internal force and deformation of the existing tunnel caused by the shield tunneling. Analysis of the data showed that: the shield construction caused the secondary additional internal force; The moment of the vault was most affected by the tunnel excavation; The axial force of the arch bottom was most affected by the excavation of the tunnel. The deformation of arch waist near excavation tunnel was more affected by tunnel excavation than that of the other side. Combined with the construction experience, the influence of the tunnel close-distance construction on the existing tunnel was within the control range, which could ensure the normal construction.
