Abstract

At present, the empirical formula is used to calculate the influence radius of surface settlement and the width of settlement trough, which lacks theoretical support. Aiming at this problem, this paper derived the theoretical calculation formula for predicting the influence radius of formation settlement based on the slices method. Then, the expression of the width of settlement trough was obtained according to the relationship between the settlement influence radius and the settlement trough width. The rationality of the formula was verified by the Heathrow Express tunnel and the Green Park tunnel. Through analysis and discussion, it was found that in the clay stratum, the settlement calculation formula can more accurately predict the surface settlement, while there is a big error in predicting the stratum settlement within 4 d near the tunnel vault. In the sand layer, the internal friction angle is less than 40°, and the reinforcement surface is applied to the unsupported face to reduce the radius of influence; in the clay formation, when the cohesion is less than 50 kPa, the influence radius can be reduced by applying reinforcement measure to the unsupported face.
