Abstract:With the development of shield tunneling construction technology and the solution of many problems, the problems of segment cracking, assembly difficulty and waterproof hidden danger caused by the faulted slabs of segment affect the construction and operation increasingly, which has the direct impact on the engineering quality. The faulted slabs of shield tunnel segment are mainly attributed to the differential displacement between the tunnel segments. Taking Shanghai Metro Line II West Extension Shield Tunnel Project as the background, on the basis of analyzing the stress of the different tunnel segments in detail, the D' Alembert principle is used to theoretically analyze the segment displacement. Finally, the calculation formula of the displacement for the different types of segments is analyzed and given, and the formula of faulted slabs between the segments is deduced. This formula shows out a ration relation among the faulted slab segment, segment stress, elastic gasket property and other factors in order to provide the theoretical basis for eliminating the faulted slab in the tunneling process of shield tunnel segments, ensuring the constructing precision and improving the construction quality.
