Abstract

Shield tunneling is one of the most important technologies for building of underground engineering. Many grouting holes were prefabricated for the requirement of backfill grouting, which is easy to induce local damages and potential disasters, such as leakage and cracking. Accordingly, an integrated workflow for damage detection and stability evaluation was performed based on nondestructive testing (NDT) and numerical simulation. As a case study, this method was applied to an underwater shield tunnel. Firstly, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) was used to detect the conditions in grouting holes. Then, the infrared camera was used to determine the damaged positions induced by grouting holes. According to NDT results, the numerical models were developed to analyze the mechanical behaviors of structure. It indicated the geophysical inversion results are consistent with field conditions. The influence area increases with a significant value of water pressure, and stress magnitude would increase to 45KPa if the increment of water pressure reaches to 10KPa. As a promising application, structure stability was evaluated in the light of analytical results.
