Effectiveness of Advanced Support for Shallow-Buried Tunnel Excavation Under-Crossing Provincial Highway in Water-Rich Fractured Zone by ZHANG Haiwang, WANG Zhenming, WAN Fa, LI Yanchong, LIAO Wenguang, HUANG Xiangyi

“…The findings show that ① The fluid-solid coupling numerical model effectively simulates and predicts the support process during the construction of shallow-buried tunnels under-crossing provincial highways in water-rich fractured zones. ② Dual support and pipe shed support schemes can effectively reduce and control surface subsidence compared to the small conduit scheme. ③ The arching effect generated by pipe sheds induces substantial stress concentrations during initial support at the vault springing of outermost pipe shed elements. …”
