Definitions

  • a method of constructing a tunnel lining is disclosed in which concrete is fed behind an intermittently advancing shield during each successive stage of advancement to form a lining along the tunnel as the tunnel is being cut by the shield.
  • the concrete is compacted during and by the progressive advance of the shield and a uniform compacting pressure is applied to the concrete with counter-pressure on the shield and the face of the tunnel at the end of each advance of the shield when the latter is stationary.
  • This invention relates to tunnel construction, and more particularly to methods of construction of a tunnel lining in the course of tunneling with the use of a shield, the concrete mix being compacted by the reactive force of the shield jacks.
  • the invention relates to tunnelling in soft soil.
  • the material of the tunnel lining (generally concrete) is compacted under the shield shell by a reactive force of the shield jacks, said reactive force being developed in the course of shield advance.
  • the force of compaction depends upon the force of shield cutting into the soil, so that the concrete mix fails to be compacted throughout by a uniform force.
  • FIG. 1 shows a tunnelling shield for the construction of tunnels, which insures compaction of concrete mix in the course of shield advance;
  • FIG. 2 shows the same shield in the course of concrete mix after-compaction, with the shield bearing against the tunnel face.
  • the concrete mix is compacted in the course of advance of the shield (FIG. 1) and rotation of its cutting head 2.
  • the concrete mix 3 is compacted under the shell 4 of the shield 1.
  • the concrete mix 3 is forced out from under the shell 4 into the spaces between the external surface of said shell and the soil. Compaction is effected by a pressure of to 225 p.s.i. produced by the reactive force of the shield jacks 5 by means of the pressure ring 6.
  • the lower limit of the pressure depends on the conditions for gradual forcing out of the concrete mix 3 beyond the shield shell, while the maximum pressure is determined by the optimum design characteristics of the tunnelling shield with the rotary cutting head 2.
  • the concrete mix 3 is compacted by a specified constant pressure up to 750 atm. uniformly distributed over the entire section of the lining. Compaction pressure is applied to the concrete mix by means of the pressure ring 6 to the reactive force of the shield jacks 5, said force being developed when the stationary working cutting head 2 bears against the tunnel face.
  • the upper limit of the com action pressure depends on the conditions providing a strong and watertight tunnel lining, and with due consideration of the design characteristics of the tunnelling shield.
  • a method of constructing a tunnel lining comprising intermittently advancing a tunnelling shield to cut a tunnel in successive stages, feeding concrete behind the shield during each stage to form a lining along the tunnel as the tunnel is being cut, compacting the concrete during and by the progressive advance of the shield during each stage, and separately applying a substantially increased uniform compacting pressure on said concrete with counter pressure on said shield and the face of the tunnel at the end of each advance of the shield when the latter is stationary, the tunnelling shield being provided with a cutting head which rotates during each advance of the shield to cut the tunnel, said cutting head being at rest during the application of pressure at the end of each advance of the shield.
  • tunnelling shield is provided with a casing which extends rearwardly and forms an outer lining for the tunnel during the compaction of the concrete when the shield is advanced, the concrete being compacted into a space beneath the casing during the advance of the shield.
