Study of Collaborative Management of Intelligent Highway Tunnel（智慧公路隧道协同管理研究）

Aiming to solve the problems of collaborative management of intelligent tunnel and tunnel management under different traffic conditions, the tunnel is regarded as a part of highway, and five features of the intelligence are proposed from the definition of intelligence. In order to realize a collaborative management of intelligent highway tunnel, the spatial extent of tunnel is defined at first. Then, a collaborative management road topology based on road critical nodes is proposed; and a holographic collaborative control information system based on tunnel structure, facilities, vehicle, operation, management, and environment is established. Finally, collaborative control of people, cars, roads and environment could be realized, so as to improve the management level of the intelligent highway tunnels.     

Key Construction Technologies for Overlapping Twisted Shield bored Tunnels in Weak Water rich Strata(富水软弱地层中麻花型盾构隧道群施工关键技术)

The purpose of the study is to solve the key technological problems in the construction of the project. The optimal construction sequence of the overlapping twisted shield tunnels is determined according to the engineering geological conditions, the surrounding working environment, and theoretical analysis on the spatial relationship of the four tunnels, and verification control are carried out via monitoring means. The tunnel construction is properly timed, smart self propelled movable support jumbo is adopted, and grouting reinforcement technology is used to ensure the construction safety of the overlapping twisted shield bored tunnels. The grouting pre reinforcement technology and the clay shock technology are adopted to ensure the safety of the surrounding buildings. The technologies for the construction of the overlapping twisted shield bored tunnels described in this paper is of great significance for the construction of similar overlapping tunnels with high shield launching/receiving risks and crossing under important structures with small clearance.     

Scientific and Technological Innovation and Operation related Issues for Island Tunnel of Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Fixed Link Project（港珠澳大桥岛隧工程建设的科技创新和 运营后应关注的若干问题）

The author explains why a giant undersea immersed tube tunnel was selected for the sea area of the main channel of the east side of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Fixed Link Project, instead of employing a bridge or shield tunnel; and summarizes several domestic and international leading innovative technologies applied in the island tunnel construction of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Fixed Link Project, including the use of huge self stabilized steel cylinders as retaining structure of foundation pits for constructing the artificial islands, the large area and ultra deep "sand compaction pile (SCP) composite foundation" reinforcement technology, "semi rigid segment joints", "sandwich" steel RC combined inverted trapezoid closure joints, and crack control and anti corrosion/durability design for RC tube structure. All these technologies reflect Chinese wisdom and Chinese speed. The author also points out some technical issues to which attention should be paid after the immersed tube tunnel of the project is put into operation: （1） Will the post construction settlement and differential settlement of the immersed tube tunnel further develop after the project is open to traffic? How much is the final convergence value? If it exceeds the limit, what control measures should be taken?（2） How to deal with the issue that the joints of large/small elements or segments are open? How to ensure that all the large and small joints between segments of the tube are "watertight"? Furthermore, the author presents some suggestions and control measures: （1） For excessive post construction settlement (especially differential settlement) spotted on large joints, it is suggested to incorporate "micro disturbance grouting" for post treatment. （2） If a joint opens under the excessive positive bending moment at the floor slab, it is believed that the open joint on the floor slab can be closed again by cutting off some prestressed tendons in the roof slab of the segment to reduce the positive bending moment of the section.     

Key Rock Mechanics Problems and Countermeasures on Huge Diversion Tunnel of Baihetan Hydropower Station（白鹤滩水电站巨型导流洞关键岩石力学问题与对策）

The large scale diversion tunnel of Baihetan Hydropower Station has complex geological conditions, thus various problems of rock mechanics appeared during the process of excavation. Typical damage and fracture mechanics are analyzed in depth, including the collapse along weak rock joint, stress controlled spalling, failure modes of fractured rock mass, relaxation damage of fractured rock columnar joints, localized stress affected by structural surfaces and stress controlled problems of superior fracture combinations. Engineering countermeasures are also summarised, which includes supporting measures, construction methods, supporting time, and monitoring and feedback methods for different types of failure. Through these measures, rock mechanics problems are successfully solved. Stability control of the surrounding rock of underground caverns under complicated geological conditions are achieved, ensuring successful completion of the enormous diversion tunnel of Baihetan.      

锦屏二级水电站深埋特大引水隧洞关键技术

Seven tunnels across Jinping Mountain are arranged for Jinping Ⅱ Hydropower Station, with a total length of about 120 km. Among them, four headrace tunnels have a length of 16.67 km, an excavated diameter of 12.4-14.6 m, and a cover depth of 1 500-2 000 m in general. The maximum cover depth is 2 525 m, and the maximum external water pressure is more than 10 MPa. The tunnels are featured by great length, great depth and large diameter. It is the largest and most difficult among the underground tunnel groups built or under construction in China and even the world. With complex hydrogeological conditions and special topographical conditions along the tunnels, many challenging problems, such as rock burst under high in situ stresses, groundwater inrush in karst strata and failure of loading bearing structure, were encountered during construction. A great amount of groundbreaking studies were carried out regarding these problems. The key technical problems during construction of extremely large and deep tunnels were solved successfully. Safe and rapid tunnel construction and stable operation were achieved. The hydropower station started operation in 2014 and has been in a safe and stable operation state. The successful construction of headrace tunnels of Jinping Ⅱ Hydropower Station can provide some experiences and reference for deep tunnel projects in the world.     

Innovation and Practice of Parallel Dual mode Slurry/EPB Shield Construction Technology and Freezing Cutterhead Opening Technology（并联式泥水/土压双模式盾构施工技术与冷冻刀盘开舱技术的创新与实践）

Two major concerns have been drawn in the process of shield construction: one is the difficulty in selecting a shield machine; the other is the high risk of opening for cutterhead changing. Based on the existing shield systems, a parallel dual mode shield with freezing cutterhead is developed by optimising internal structure and equipment and carrying the freezing device. The dual mode shield construction technology and freezing cutterhead technology are successfully carried out on project cases including Guangzhou Metro Line 9, Guangzhou Metro Line 21 and 220 kV Shijing Huanxi Electric Tunnel (Xiwan Road Shisha Road Section). The parallel dual mode slurry/EPB shield not only has the functions and advantages of slurry shield and EPB shield but also can switch into slurry/EPB mode for different strata and environments easily. Thus, it can achieve rapid shield tunneling. By combining the shield with the freezing system, the soil around cutterhead can be frozen to provide conditions for chamber opening under atmospheric condition. Meanwhile, it is also compatible with dual mode shield.
