Abstract

construction of near double-hole parallel tunnels frequently occurs in city subway evacuation. Studying the dynamical behaviors of the parallel tunnel construction, performing systematic numerical analysis and grasping mutual influences of different factors on the tunnel evacuation and different effects of surface sedimentation has important theoretical meaning and application value for the building technology of the parallel double-hole tunnel. This paper establishes a three-dimensional numeral model, analyzes influences of three main influence factors (tunnel distribution form, tunnel burying depth and tunnel gap) on the surrounding soil and surface sedimentation in double-hole tunnel synchronous evacuation. The conclusions indicate that the vertical distribution has the biggest influences on tunneling in horizontal distribution, vertical distribution and tilted distribution of two tunnels, followed by tilted distribution. The horizontal distribution has the minimal influence. With growth of the tunnel gap, the mutual influence between two tunnels will become smaller. With growth of the tunnel burying depth, the influences on tunneling will become bigger.
