Abstract: The open-face shield tunneling the sand stratum can affect the surrounding soil and may cause collapse with excessive deformation. Based on the open-face shield construction of NO.2 Beijing’s Metro of Line 6, the structure and the comprehensive excavation system of the domestic first open-face shield was explained. The law of disturbance was analyzed by monitoring subsidence and horizontal displacements of the soil. Some measures to reduce soil disturbance were also presented. Results showed that the deformation law of the soil is the most complicated when the shield approaches to the monitoring holes. It is important to have a good control on the soil deformation when the shield is passing through and leaving monitoring holes. The range of the disturbance area can be 1.5 times the hole diameter from the shield. The conclusion can be used as a reference for controlling the deformation induced by shield construction in sandy stratum.
