Abstract
The construction method of transitioning from a small cross-section to excavating a super-large cross-section tunnel plays a crucial role in the quality of the final super-large cross-section tunnel and the safety of the tunnel structures and workers during the construction process. The Shenzhen Liantang Bifurcated Tunnel, with a maximum cross-sectional area of 428.4 m2, was the largest cross-sectional tunnel constructed in China in 2018, and there are few engineering projects that can serve as references. To enhance construction safety and achieve the transformation from a two-lane tunnel to a five-lane tunnel, this paper proposes two tunneling methods, namely, the reverse top-heading method and the advance climbing method. Moreover, numerical simulation using MIDAS GTS/NX software was adapted to compare and analyze the stress and deformation characteristics of the surrounding rock in the construction stages using the two methods. The simulation shows that the advance climbing method is more suitable for the construction of the Liantang tunnel. Through on-site monitoring and measurement, the data of peripheral rock vault subsidence, peripheral convergence, and pressure of the supporting structure were assessed. The results show that the maximum values of peripheral rock vault subsidence and peripheral convergence displacement are located in the permissible range of road tunnel vault subsidence. This further verifies the reasonableness of the advance climbing method. This paper not only provide a basis for the construction of the Liantang tunnel but also serves as a reference for construction methods and typical cases for similar super-large-section tunnel projects.
