摘要
With the further development and utilization of underground space, the geological conditions faced by shield tunneling are more complex and diverse. When the shield tunnels in the composite strata, due to the differences in mechanical properties between the strata, it is easy to cause instability and damage due to improper determination of the supporting force of the excavation surface, which will bring negative impacts to the projects. It is difficult to determine the support pressure of the excavation face due to the stiffness differences between the upper and lower strata, when the shield tunnel passes through the composite strata. Based on the combined logarithmic helix failure model utilized as the instability model of the shield excavation face in the composite strata, the upper limit expression of the limit support force of shield excavation face in the composite strata was derived by using the upper bound theorem of limit analysis. The optimal solution of the ultimate support force was obtained by linear optimization technology, and the rationality of the combined logarithmic spiral failure mode was verified by comparing with the existing literatures. At the same time, the influence of different parameters on the ultimate support force and the critical failure mode were discussed, and the schematic diagram of the critical sliding surface was presented. The results showed that when the internal friction angle and cohesion of the upper stratum were fixed, the ultimate support force decreased with the increase of the internal friction angle and cohesion of the lower stratum. With the increase of the diameter of the tunnel, the ultimate support force increased significantly. The depth coefficient was defined as the ratio of the depth of the upper stratum to the diameter of the tunnel. The smaller the depth coefficient was, the more sensitive the ultimate support force was to the variations of the shear strength parameters of the stratum. But for a single stratum, the change of depth coefficient has no effect on the ultimate support force. The conclusions had a certain guiding significance for the practical engineering.
