Abstract:

In response to the challenges of low bearing capacity and complex construction procedures in traditional pipe roofing method, a novel pipe roofing method, namely small?diameter pipe roofing method is proposed, which is applied in the construction of the Heping South Street Station of Shenyang Metro. A three?dimensional finite difference model for this project is established, to investigate the ground deformation characteristics during the construction. The influence of pipe?roof parameters on four indicators: maximum surface settlement at the mid?span after the station construction, ground disturbance caused by pipe roofing construction, pipe roofing stiffness, and cost is clarified. Finally, the pipe?roof parameters are optimized using fuzzy mathematics theory. The research results show that when constructing a subway station using the small?diameter pipe roofing method, the stage of removing the pilot tunnel wall and constructing the roof is the critical for controlling ground deformation. The most critical parameter affecting the above four indicators is the steel tube diameter. The optimized combination of parameters is steel tube diameter of 400 mm, steel tube center distance of 800 mm, steel tube wall thickness of 10 mm, concrete strength grade inside the tube is C40, and the steel tube strength grade is Q390.
