Abstract
A method of constructing a double-deck subway station by combining two parallel shield tunnels and the cavern–pile method is presented. Taking the practical engineering of the Beijing subway as the background, numerical simulations were carried out to study enlarging construction. Mechanical and deformed performances for opening segments, important nodes, and main components of the station structure were investigated. Subsequently, a comparative analysis was performed to investigate the effects of side piles. Finally, an economic investigation was conducted to validate the practicability of the present method. This paper systematically demonstrates the applicability of the proposed method through a three-dimensional numerical simulation. The results show that it is safe and feasible to create a double-deck subway station by enlarging two parallel shield tunnels using the cavern–pile method.
