Method for Diagnosing the Uneven Settlement of a Rail Transit Tunnel Based on the Spatial Correlation of High-Density Strain Measurement Points

Abstract

Rail transit tunnels span long distances, are large-scale structures and pass through complicated geological conditions; thus, the risk of uneven settlement cannot be ignored. To address this issue, a method for diagnosing the uneven settlement of regional railway tunnels based on the spatial correlation of high-density strain measurement points is proposed in this study. First, with the distributed optical fiber sensing technology, a method for determining the intervals of strain measurement points with strong spatial correlations is proposed based on a support vector machine. Second, combined with the statistical analysis of the influence range of the uneven settlement of a tunnel, an algorithm for diagnosing the uneven settlement of regional railway tunnels based on the spatial correlation of high-density strain measurement points is proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical simulation and actual tunnel data.

Urban Rail Transit Network Planning Based on Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

“…Network. Before determining the planning scale of urban rail transit network, it is necessary to establish the planning scale index of urban rail transit network, including the total length index of urban rail transit route, traffic density index, and transportation capacity index [17]. e total length of urban rail transit lines is…”

Study on deformation characteristics of underground pipeline corridors and uneven settlement factors of foundations in sandy chalky soil layer

“…It was found that with the increase of ground crack settlement, a stress reduction zone near the ground crack appeared at the bottom of the upper plate wall of the tube corridor structure and revealed localized dehollowing phenomena (Deng et al, 2022;Xie et al, 2020;Bian et al, 2017). Diagnosis of inhomogeneous settlement in regional railroad tunnels using spatial correlation of high-density strain measurement points can effectively diagnose the influence range of inhomogeneous settlement (Liang et al, 2023;Hu et al, 2021). After the highway widens the roadbed, under the effect of differential settlement, the old pavement surface layer and the upper base layer are subjected to tensile stress within about 4 cm, and the base layer reaches the destructive strength first.…”
