Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an excavating method and apparatus for constructing the base (inverted arch or resting piers) of a new, or an already existing tunnel to be widened or restructured.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an excavating method and an apparatus for constructing, remaking, reinforcing or restructuring any length of the base of the tunnel, so as to provide a inverted arch or resting pier structure bearing the tunnel adequately as a function of its section.
  • the inverted arch will also have to be widened accordingly or the resting piers will have to be fitted at a different location.
  • an excavating apparatus for constructing, remaking, reinforcing or restoring any part of the base of a tunnel, such to provide an inverted arch or resting piers structure adequate for sustaining the tunnel and suitably sized as a function of the section of the tunnel, characterized by comprising a trencher excavating means driven by driving means and so restrained as to accomplish a combined movement of:
  • an excavating method using a trencher excavating means as cited characterized in comprising the steps of:
  • the following description particularly relates to the remake of the base (inverted arch or resting piers) of an existing tunnel. It is understood that the described method and apparatus are capable of being suitably employed for constructing a completely new tunnel.
  • numeral 20 designates an excavating cutter, preferably a chain trencher as known from EP-A-0 407 934.
  • Trencher 20 is movable along a substantially horizontal guide 10 disposed transversally within the tunnel 11, in order to excavate trenches then to be filled with concrete to form the basis of the tunnel.
  • horizontal guide 10 that can rest on the floor by means of extensible feet 12, is transportable in the longitudinal direction of the tunnel by a crawler track vehicle 13.
  • Guide 15 is rotatably mounted about a substantially horizontal and longitudinal axis to a carriage 14 sliding along the horizontal guide 10.
  • the length of the horizontal guide 10 may indifferently be such as to span substantially the whole width of the tunnel, as shown in FIG. 1, or, in the event of widening works as depicted in FIGS. 4a to 4F, may be limited to a portion of the tunnel so as to work on one side while allowing traffic to pass along the other side.
  • the excavating trencher 20 is driven by suitable driving means 16 (not described in detail as well known to those skilled in the art) and is capable of accomplishing a combined movement of:
  • the trencher can excavate a transversal trench 17 to form the base of the tunnel (inverted arch or resting piers) following the sequence of operations illustrated in FIGS. 4A-4F.
  • the trencher is initially positioned proximate to the point of junction between the bottom of the tunnel or gallery 11 and the inverted arch 18 (FIG. 4A).
  • the trencher is then extended (FIG. 4B) to demolish the foot of the tunnel and the inverted arch, excavating the soil or rock.
  • the trencher is oscillated outwardly (FIG. 4C) excavating a side portion 17a for the foot or resting pier of a new section of the tunnel.
  • the trencher oscillates and translates as a unit with carriage 14 along the horizontal guide 10.
  • the result is the excavation of a trench suitably shaped and sized as to accommodate a subsequent casting of concrete.
  • the concrete Upon hardening, the concrete will form the full or half grade beam.
  • the seat for the resting piers can be formed (FIG. 6).
  • With a half grade beam overall structural continuity is attained on completion of the construction of the second half-beam.
  • the contact surface is cleared and, optionally, reinforcement bars (not shown) are inserted and cemented.
  • the equipment is shifted longitudinally by the tracked vehicle 13 to locate the trencher 20 at a predetermined distance to carry out a new excavation and casting. Repetition of these steps yields a base of resting piers or inverted arch which may be continuous or discrete, depending on whether the grade beams are attached forming a single monolithic body or spaced apart. Such a base is well suited for withstanding the load the vault transmits to the tunnel.
