In
order to enhance the quality of living and to meet government’s
policy and worldwide trend, a lot of public constructions are
being built during recent years. These constructions include
telecommunications, electric power, water pipe, sewage pipe,
household waste pipes and lifeline constructions. There are many
on-going underground utilities have been built in Taichung.
No-dig methods, such as pipe jacking and shield tunneling
methods, have been used to replace open-cut excavations to avoid
traffic impact and social cost. Methods used for underground
constructions in gravel formation, however, are still under
exploration due to lack of experience.
This objective of this study is to focus on investigation of
Taichung base waste water outflow pipeline construction and to
synthesize the construction cases and field data to compare with
other references. Taichung base waste water outflow pipeline
constructions are divided four sections. Collected data include
the followings: Taichung base waste water outflow pipeline
construction status, geology, boring logs, granular size and
distribution of gravel formation, overburden depth, pipe jacking
and shield machine(structure of machine body and cutting face),
attrition and repair of shield machine, shield tunnel
(rotational force and jacking force ), pulling out speed, soil
emission, encountered problems, solution used to overcome
problems, ground surface settlement and impact, raise or slip of
ground in process of construction, length of excavation and
jacking, jacking installation and jacking force, condition and
effect of underground water, and effect of unlined construction.
Gravel formations are the most common formation in Taichung area
in Taiwan, most of the gravels are hard and having high strength
and strong interlock between gravels. Thus, it is difficult to
cut using any machine. Those machines will be easily worn and
torn seriously, especially the cutting face for the pipe jacking
and shield tunneling methods, in the gravel formation. The
results show that the jacking force, torque of cutting face, and
pressure of screw machine during tunnel excavation will interact
with each others. As the torque increases, then the excavation
speed and thrust may decrease. In order to increase the volume
of excavation, the pressure inside the screw and the rotation
speed should be lower down and increased, respectively. The
cutting disks inside the cutting face should be replaced after
certain tunneling length, and the actual length is shorter than
the expected. Monitoring results from the ground settlements and
inclinometers show that only small changes are recorded and they
are within the tolerance range.
In addition, this research results are compared with the
previous data. These data are all synthesized, analyzed and
compared. Results obtained from the studies could be used for
construction and design in gravel formation in the future. |
