Abstract
When shield tunneling is carried out in poor geological areas with high water head and low strength, there is a great construction risk, and the external water pressure is one of the key factors affecting the stability and safety of the tunnel during shield tunneling. Taking the Yinguruxin tunnel of Xin’an County as the engineering background, the geological conditions and water-bearing characteristics of the water-rich area in the tunnel excavation path are analyzed by means of drilling and high-density electrical method, and the pumping test is used to evaluate the groundwater linkage in the water-rich area. The 2022 version of Midas GTS NX is used to study the distribution characteristics of external water pressure during tunnel excavation in fault zones, and the influence of different drainage rates on the external water pressure of the tunnel is analyzed. The results show that the rock mass in the unfavorable geological section of the tunnel excavation is broken and rich in water, but the complexity of the stratum leads to uneven water richness in the axis direction of the tunnel. The drainage rate is the key to affecting the external water pressure of the lining. The drainage rate is the key to affecting the external water pressure of the tunnel. The correct drainage rate is an effective measure to reduce the external water pressure of the tunnel. The internal and external water pressure of the tunnel decreases with the increase of the drainage rate. When the drainage rate reaches 66.67% of the water inflow, the external water pressure of the tunnel can be reduced to 0.3 MPa to ensure the safety of the earth pressure balance shield machine in the tunneling process. The conclusion provides a useful reference for the high water pressure control of the tunnel shield tunneling process.
