Abstract
In China, with the rapid development of subway construction, the site deformation induced by subway construction is an interesting and hot issue in civil engineering. Focusing on the mechanism and characteristics of site deformation induced by parallel shield tunnel construction in typical soil-rock composite strata of Changchun region, and relying on the subway tunnel between Northeast Normal University Station and Gongnong Square Station, which belongs to the Changchun Metro Line 1, the tunnel construction process is simulated using FLAC3D software. In this paper, the numerical modeling and parameters for shield tunneling are described in detail, and the mechanism and characteristics of site deformation induced by shield tunneling are discussed systematically. Furthermore, the influence of construction parameters on site deformation, including construction sequence, tunnel spacing and earth chamber pressure, are studied. The results can provide reference for similar projects in the future.
