Abstract

Abstract With the increasing number of construction projects in China, the intersection or proximity between new tunnels and existing tunnels is increasing. How to evaluate the impact of existing tunnels and ensure the safe operation of existing tunnels are important issues to be considered in the design of new tunnels. Based on the actual conditions of the new tunnel and the existing Jianshi tunnel of Jinliwen Expressway in the north connection of S49 provincial highway in Zhejiang Province, this paper studied the influence of the new parallel tunnel on the existing highway tunnel by analyzing the net distance between the two tunnels, the change of the supporting structure during the construction of the new tunnel and the vibration caused by the blasting construction, etc., the influence of new parallel tunnels on the safety of existing highway tunnels was studied, which provides a reference for the design and construction of similar short distance parallel tunnels.
