Abstract:Urban underground road has the characteristics of large section, shallow burying and complex construction environment, and often causes the adverse effects on the existing buildings on the ground. Relying on the Jinan Yuhan Road Tunnel Project, the field monitoring data and numerical simulation method are used to study the response of large-section ultra-shallow buried tunnel construction and the existing buildings with the different directions. The study result shows that the building damage would be caused by the difference settlement of pile foundation closing to the tunnel if the long edge of the existing building is perpendicular to the tunnel. The failure form is inclined failure if the long edge of the existing buildings runs parallel to the tunnel. The non-uniform settlement relative maximum of the building pile foundation parallel to the tunnel will happen in the tunneling process, and the non-uniform settlement relative maximum of the building pile foundation perpendicular to the tunnel is likely to occur at each stage of the whole process. When the buildings on the ground exist, the variation trend of characteristic point settlement is basically consistent with that of natural ground settlement. During the tunneling construction under the action of building load, the stress releasing process becomes longer, and the later consolidation settlement will also relevantly increase, which results that the land surface settlement is obviously greater than that of natural land surface settlement.
