Influence of Utility Tunnel on the Lower Part of the Existing Double-Track Shield Tunnel in Loess Soil

The interaction between the double-track shield tunnel and the integrated pipe gallery is complex, and there is still a lack of systematic research. Based on the numerical simulation of the Xi’an case, this paper studies the influence of the construction of the integrated pipe gallery on the deforma...

description The interaction between the double-track shield tunnel and the integrated pipe gallery is complex, and there is still a lack of systematic research. Based on the numerical simulation of the Xi’an case, this paper studies the influence of the construction of the integrated pipe gallery on the deformation characteristics of the existing double-line subway tunnels with different buried depths and clear distances and finds the safe buried depth and clear distance of the tunnel. The results indicated that, in the loess area, the maximum deformation of the existing subway has a linear and inverse relationship with the buried depth and spacing, respectively. Increasing the buried depth can reduce the impact of the upper construction disturbance more than increasing the clear distance ratio. Moreove, under the design conditions of constructing a utility tunnel by the open-cut method, when the buried depth of the tunnel is 4.5 D and the spacing is greater than 4.5 D, or the buried depth is 5.0 D and the spacing is greater than 2.5 D, the combination of subway tunnels can meet the deformation control standards.
