Description

  The present invention relates to a shield segment caulking material used for a joint portion of a segment constituting a wall of a tunnel in a shield construction method for constructing a tunnel using a shield machine.

  Currently, when building tunnels for roads, railways, etc. or tunnels for building sewer pipes, the shield method is generally adopted. The shield method is a method of excavating a tunnel hole while propelling a shield machine with a drilling blade at the tip in the ground.

  In the shield method, a primary lining that constructs the wall of the tunnel by sequentially assembling the segments along the inner wall of the excavation part behind the shield machine while excavating the ground with the shield machine, and this primary lining After the completion, secondary lining is performed to coat the inner wall surface with concrete or resin.

The segment used in such a shield method is, for example, a size that divides the circumference in the tunnel into a plurality of pieces (for example, 4 to 6 divisions), and is successively added in the circumferential direction and the shield tunnel extending direction. Examples of the segment include a concrete segment, a steel segment made of only a steel plate, and a steel shell segment filled with concrete in a steel shell (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  By the way, in the shield method, a shield method in which secondary lining is omitted has been proposed in order to reduce cost, reduce excavation cross-sectional area, shorten the work period, and the like.

  In this shield method, where the secondary lining is omitted, the tunnel wall is composed of only concrete segments (secondary lining integrated segments) that have been internally finished such as smoothing the inner surface. Since the inner wall of the body is not coated, when constructing sewer pipes, etc., in addition to preventing the entry of groundwater into the tunnel (water stoppage), leaching of sewage flowing inside the tunnel to the outside It is also required to prevent this.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of such points, and in the construction of a tunnel such as a sewer pipe by the secondary lining integrated shield method, water inside the tunnel leached out from the segment joint to the outside of the tunnel. An object of the present invention is to provide a caulking material for a shield segment that can be prevented.

  The caulking material for the shield segment of the present invention is a shield method for constructing a tunnel wall body by sequentially assembling the segments along the peripheral inner wall surface of the excavation part behind the shield machine while excavating the ground with a shield machine. The caulking material is disposed between the end faces of the segments adjacent to each other, wherein the water stop portion and the joint forming portion are integrally formed, and the water stop portion is a first made of a water-swellable material. It is characterized by being comprised by the 2nd water stop part which consists of a water stop part and non-foaming EPDM.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the shield segment caulking material of the present invention is used by being attached to a portion S1 along the circumferential direction inside the segment end surface and a portion S2 along the axial direction. And when the end surfaces of a segment are faced | matched at the time of a segment assembly, the non-foaming EPDM which comprises the 2nd water stop part of a water stop part is compressed by a segment end surface, and water stop is ensured. In addition, the water-swellable material constituting the first water-stopping portion of the water-stopping portion is expanded by the reaction with the groundwater, so that waterproofness is ensured. In this way, the double waterproofing effect of waterproofing with water-expandable material and waterproofing with non-foamed EPDM is exhibited, so that excellent water stoppage can be ensured, and the water inside the tunnel is transferred from the segment joint to the outside of the tunnel. It is possible to reliably prevent leaching.

  Furthermore, in addition to ensuring the water-stopping property, the gap between the segment end faces formed on the inner side of the segment is filled in the joint forming portion, so that the gap between the segment end faces can be filled. In addition, if a joint formation part is comprised with a CPE, CR type flame retardant, or a thermal expansion type plastic refractory material, it can be used in the place which needs fire countermeasures, such as a subway.
