To improve natural ventilation performance in urban tunnels, a method of adding solid screens below shafts, was proposed to accumulate fire-induced smoke and weaken negative influence of plug-holing. A series of simulations were carried out to analyze the reliability of this method based on Large Eddy Simulation. Thermal and spreading characteristics of smoke were studied in detail, with systematically varying the angle of solid screen and the longitudinal wind speed in the tunnel. Results show that without wind in the tunnel, all smoke is blocked from spreading downstream after adding the solid screen, thus the smoke layer thickness downstream of the fire increases, and the plug-holing is prevented. The stack effect is enhanced due to the thicker and higher-temperature smoke layer. With wind in the tunnel, the smoke spreads across the solid screen and continues spreading downstream, but the solid screen with different angles can still increase the effective mass flow rate of exhausted smoke greatly. The solid screen with an acute angle performs better than that with an obtuse angle in exhausting smoke. Meanwhile, the practical engineering application of solid screens in tunnels with natural ventilation was demonstrated in detail.

Experimental and theoretical study on longitudinal deformation and internal force of shield tunnel under surcharge

Zhi Ding, Xiao Zhang, Shao-Heng He, Yong-Jie Qi, Cun-Gang Lin

Summary: This study investigates the longitudinal behavior of a shield tunnel by designing and constructing a reduced-size indoor model. The results show that the longitudinal settlement of the tunnel follows a normal distribution, with the maximum settlement occurring at the central ring and increasing linearly with the applied load. Stress concentration typically occurs on the side of the tunnel waist under surcharge, resulting in transverse elliptical deformation of the entire structure.

Deformation analysis and protection measures of existing metro tunnels effected by river channel excavation in soft soils

Chao He, Yinghao Cai, Chenqiang Pu, Shunhua Zhou, Honggui Di, Xiaohui Zhang

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of river channel excavation on adjacent metro tunnels and proposes protective measures based on an engineering project in Fuzhou, China. A three-dimensional finite element model is developed to calculate the displacements and distortion of tunnels under different excavation sequences and soil reinforcement measures. Real-time monitoring confirms that the vertical displacements and diametrical distortion of tunnels are primarily caused by the excavation of the river above the tunnels, while horizontal displacements are induced by the excavation next to the tunnels. The study recommends a combination of cement slurry with a portal form and concrete with a plate form for soil reinforcement and tunnel protection.

Understanding the traffic flow in different types of freeway tunnels based on car-following behaviors analysis

Ting Shang, Jiaxin Lu, Ying Luo, Song Wang, Zhengyu He, Aobo Wang

Summary: The study reveals significant variations in car-following behavior across different types of tunnels and consecutive sections of the same tunnel. As tunnel length increases, the driving stability of following vehicles decreases, but the level of driving safety risk is not positively correlated with tunnel length. Significant vehicle trajectory oscillation is observed within the inner sections of long and extra-long tunnels, and a significant relationship between the acceleration of following vehicles and the location within the tunnel section is found.
