Abstract
In urban shield tunneling, reducing the disturbance of underground construction to the surrounding environment is important for both tunnel engineers and researchers. Among other factors, the quality of synchronous grouting is one of the crucial factors affecting the safe construction of shields. In order to determine a reasonable grouting pressure and grout amount during shield construction, the relationships among synchronous grouting pressure, grout amount and shield chamber pressure are analyzed using field monitoring data. Based on the tunnel face pressure and the ultimate yield conditions of the soil at the gap edge, a method for calculating the grouting pressure considering the overburdening load of the tunnel was proposed. Then, by linking the grout amount and the grouting pressure, an accurate calculation method for the simultaneous grout amount in shield construction was proposed. These methods were then used in the construction of the Jurong shield tunnel. The results show that the adopted grouting pressure and grout amount calculated by the proposed method, which considered the change of the overburdening load of the tunnel, can well control the ground deformation caused by the shield construction and significantly reduce the uneven settlement of the surface buildings. The proposed methods in this paper may provide a reference for other shield construction projects.
