Structure form, steel bar and service time were considered to be the main factors of the tunnel disease state, based on the disease inspection results of subway tunnels in Beijing. The conclusion indicated that the diseases of shield tunnel such as ovalization of tunnel cross section, lining cracks, crushing and dislocation of duct pieces and water leakage were caused by the deformation of segment joints. Lining crack was the main disease form in monolithic tunnel. The width and depth of cracks were greatly influenced by tunnel operation time and had the characteristics of discreteness and random. Steel bar used in concrete lining could significantly enhance safety of tunnel structures. Water leakage in subway tunnel was influenced by rainfall and usually could be observed at the gaps of tunnel structures, such as bolt holes and segment joint of shield tunnel or the construction joints, deformation joints and lining cracks of monolithic tunnel. The most lining cavities were found located at the vault and the cavity shape was similar to strip, square or oval with lining cracking nearby. The carbonation depth of lining concrete was proportional to tunnel operation time and its value and speed at ballast bed was most, sidewall less and vault least. It is hoped that the results can provide some reference for the disease law analysis and treatment of urban tunnel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
