Abstract

In order to study the sensitivity of multiple karst cave factors on surface settlement during Tunnel Boring Machine(referred to TBM hereinafter) tunnelling, a three-dimensional numerical model is built by taking a subway project as an example and combining MIDAS GTS NX finite element software. Secondly, the influence of the radius, height, angle, vertical net distance, and horizontal distance of the karst cave on the maximum surface settlement is studied and sorted under the two working conditions of treatment and untreated using the grey correlation analysis method. Additionally, a multi-factor numerical model of the untreated karst cave is established. Finally, based on the preceding research, a multi-factor prediction model for the maximum surface settlement is proposed and tested. The results reveal that when the karst cave is not treated, the radius and height of the karst cave have a significant effect on the maximum surface settlement. After the cave treatment, the influence of the cave parameters on the maximum settlement of the surface is greatly reduced. The calculating modelcreated in this study offers excellent prediction accuracy and good adaptability.
