Abstract

For nearly thirty years, Shanghai has been constructing underground works designed to improve the city's infrastructure. A number of projects were undertaken using shield tunnelling method in order to determine whether this method could be used successfully in Shanghai's geology, which is characterized by silt and silty or puddly clay. These underground projects have included subway tunnels, sewage and water supply tunnels, road tunnels, and offshore discharge tunnels. This paper describes eight subsurface projects in Shanghai that have used the shield tunnelling method successfully. Pendant environ trente ans, Shanghaï a construit des ouvrages souterrains dans le but d'améliorer l'infrastructure de la ville. De nombreux projets furent entrepris en utilisant la méthode àécran de façon à determiner si cette méthode pouvait ětre utilisée avec succès compte tenu de la géologie de Shanghaï, qui est caracterisée par de la vase ou de l'argile boueuse. Ces projets en souterrains ont inclus des tunnel de métro, le tout à l'égout et des tunnels d'alimentation en eau, des tunnels routier, et de déversement au large. Ce papier décrit huit projets en souterrain àShanghaï qui ont utilisé avec succès la méthode à écran.
