Optimization of geometry design of quasi-rectangular section tunnel by the force criterion

The noncircular section tunnels are finding increasingly more often application in shield tunneling due to the advantageously high section utilization efficiency. For instance, a quasi-rectangular section tunnel in Ningbo Rail Transit in China. At the same time, the scientific researches lack guidelines on the optimum shape design for the noncircular section tunnels by the force criterion. This article puts forward an approach to optimizing geometry of a double-track quasi-rectangular section tunnel. The stress–strain analysis of the tunnel lining used the Hyperstatic Reaction Method. Furthermore, the search algorithm is proposed for the optimized quasi-rectangular section tunnel geometry based on the analysis of the integral indicators of stresses, axial forces and bending moments in the tunnel lining.

Keywords: tunnel, optimization, stress state, lining, rock–lining interaction, quasi-rectangular section, section geometry, construction, shield tunneling.
