Abstract

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.
