Description
Summary:The presented work studies deformation processes of escalator tunnels support lining constructed by means of soils freezing in difficult engineering and geological conditions. The features of construction technology are considered. The features of the freezing effects during the active, passive stage of freezing and during the natural thawing of soils are considered. The data of the long-term arch support monitoring, as well as the earth’s surface is presented. The non-standard nature of geomechanical processes, in particular the support lifting during the construction of the escalator tunnel is revealed. Methods of mathematical statistics and error theory were used to process and analyze data of field observations at surface and array displacements and deformations. According to survey observations on a few escalator tunnels in Saint-Petersburg underground the correlation form shown is increased in horizontal diameter of the rings and reduce the vertical dependence of the sedimentation casing from subsidence of the earth’s surface. The data also reveals that with increasing development depth, despite the increase in vertical load, the deformation of the lining is reduced, which is associated with physical and mechanical properties of the array.
