In order to identify the habitat characteristics of water shield (Brasenia schreberi), water quality and sediment characters were investigated. Water shield had peculial habitats such as old reservoir, developed basin-like reservior, a water depth within 1.5 m, constant water level, and thick sediment layer at the bottom. The species had very dense populations under the favorable growing conditions and occasionally grew together with Utricularia japonica. When water shield decreased, Nelumbo nucifera, Nuphar japonicum and Zizania latifolia increased. Natural populations of water shield need protection because it is endangered by the human activities and their harvest. The optimal conditions for the growth of water shield was near neutral pH. low conductivity and low turbidity. Therefore the input of pollutants should be controlled for its growth. The inorganic ion contents such as K, Mg, and Na were higher in the water shield growing area. Especially iron content of the sediments in the reservoirs with water shield was nearly five times as high as that in the reservoirs without water shield. thus iron might be one of the major limiting factors for the growth. It was considered that molybdenum can be another major factor because water shield is a nitrogen fixing plant.

In order to analyze the static and dynamic structural characteristics of the Obermeyer gate under overflow conditions, the force characteristics and vibration characteristics of the shield plate structure are studied based on the fluid-solid coupling theory. In this paper, the effects of the flow rate, airbag pressure and overflow water level on the structural performance of shield plate of air shield dam are explored through the method of controlling variables. The results show that the maximum equivalent stress and total deformation of the shield plate decrease first and then increase with the flow velocity. In addition, they are positively correlated with the airbag pressure. What's more, we find that the maximum equivalent stress of the shield plate decreases first and then increases with the overflow water level, and the total deformation of the shield plate decreases with the overflow water level. What's more importantly, the natural frequency of the shield structure of the Obermeyer gate is concentrated at 50 Hz and 100 Hz, so there is still the possibility of resonance. Once the resonance occurs, the free edge of the shield vibrates back and forth. This work may provide a theoretical reference for the safe and stable operation of the shield of the Obermeyer gate.

The development of shield-driven cross-river tunnels in China is witnessing a notable shift towards larger diameters, longer distances, and higher water pressures due to the more complex excavation environment. Complex geological formations, such as fault and karst cavities, pose significant construction risks. Real-time adjustment of shield tunneling parameters based on parameter prediction is the key to ensuring the safety and efficiency of shield tunneling. In this study, prediction models for the torque and thrust of the cutter plate of ultra-large diameter slurry shield TBMs is established based on integrated learning algorithms, by analyzing the real data of Heyan Road cross-river tunnel. The influence of geological complexities at the excavation face, substantial burial depth, and high water level on the slurry shield tunneling parameters are considered in the models. The results reveal that the predictive models established by applying Random Forest and AdaBoost algorithms exhibit strong agreement with actual data, which indicates that the good adaptability and predictive accuracy of these two models. The models proposed in this study can be applied in the real-time prediction and adaptive adjustment of the tunneling parameters for shield tunneling under complex geological conditions.

Settlement control techniques are critical for the safety of shield tunnel constructions, especially for facing complex situations. In this study, the shield tunnel structure from Huaita east road station to Heping Road station in Xuzhou metro No.3 line (China) is taken as engineering background, which has various complex problems of the upper-soft and lower-hard composite stratum conditions, twin curve shield tunnels, and underpass the foundation of the piled raft. The deformation characteristics of shield tunnelling passing through buildings are explored. Subsequently, comprehensive research methods of numerical simulation and field measurement are adopted to analyzing the effectiveness of settlement control by using the top grouting technique. The results show that the settlement of the buildings has obvious spatial characteristics, and the hysteresis effect can be obviously observed in soil deformation caused by shield construction. Meanwhile, the two shield constructions can cause repeated disturbances, reducing the soil deformation's hysteresis effect. Moreover, the shield tunnel's differential settlement is too large when a single line passes through, and the shield construction of the outer curve can cause more significant disturbance in the tunnel than the inside curve. Notably, the proposed process control parameters and secondary topgrouting method can effectively control the deformation of the shield tunnel, especially for the long-term deformation.

Pure titanium and its alloys have good formability, excellent corrosion resistance and high strength to weight ratios. Therefore, it has been using to heat exchangers, offshore plants, sports equipments, and etc. As broad as its application fields, it also increases welding locations. Conventional GTAW and GMAW are very popular welding methods of titanium, but it has a high heat input and wide HAZ. It has a possibility of inducing Stress Corrosion Cracking. So, laser welding method has been using to get reliable welds by reducing heat input. Weld beads change its color to silver, gold, brown, blue, and gray by shied conditions. And the closer to gray, the more oxidize, nitride and embrittlement. The most effective atom to embrittlement was nitrogen. And shield gas flow was not so effective over the constant flow rates. In this study, weld properties of the pure titanium were investigated by pulsed & CW Nd:YAG lasers and evaluated by various shield conditions. And It is observed that nitrogen is more effective to oxidation and embrittlement of titanium compared with oxygen by oxygen and nitrogen quantitative analysis.

Excavation of long tunnels by shielded TBMs is a safe, fast, and efficient method of tunneling that mitigates many risks related to ground conditions. However, long-distance tunneling in great depth through adverse geological conditions brings about limitations in the application of TBMs. Among various harsh geological conditions, squeezing ground as a consequence of tunnel wall and face convergence could lead to cluttered blocking, shield jamming and in some cases failure in the support system. These issues or a combination of them could seriously hinder the performance of TBMs. The technique of excavation has a strong influence on the tunnel response when it is excavated under squeezing conditions. The Golab water conveyance tunnel was excavated by a double-shield TBM. This tunnel passes mainly through metamorphic weak rocks with up to 650 m overburden. These metamorphic rocks (Shales, Slates, Phyllites and Schists) together with some fault zones are incapable of sustaining high tangential stresses. Prediction of the convergence, estimation of the creeping effects and presenting strategies to overcome the squeezing ground are regarded as challenging tasks for the tunneling engineer. In this paper, the squeezing potential of the rock mass is investigated in specific regions by dint of numerical and analytical methods. Subsequently, several operational solutions which were conducted to counteract the challenges are explained in detail.

터널 해석은 주로 지표침하와 터널 라이닝 내 단면력 산정에 초점이 맞춰지며 이는 시공단계를 고려한 3차원 수치해석 모델을 이용해 결정할 수 있다. 수치해석 시 shield는 응력 제어, shell element로 모델링하는 방법 등으로 모사될 수 있다. 한편 변위 제어를 통한 쉴드 모사는 shield를 적절한 경계조건으로 처리함으로서, 다른 shield 모사 방법에 비해 모델링 작업을 간소화하고 해석의 효율성을 높일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 변위 제어에 의한 shield 모사를 위한 적정 경계조건을 제안한다. 이를 위해 시공단계가 고려된 유한요소해석을 사용하여, 쉴드 및 굴착면에서의 경계조건 변화와 이에 따른 지표침하 관측 수행하였다. 제안된 shield 변위 제어로부터 얻어진 해석결과를 이론적인 해와 비교함으로서, 제시된 shield 모델링 방법의 적정성과 지반 거동 변화를 평가하고자 한다. 해석 결과는 지반 모델의 지표침하를 기준으로 관찰되었으며, 변위제어에 의한 결과와 요소에 의한 모델링 결과가 유사하게 얻어짐을 보여준다. 또한 변위제어의 쉴드 모사에서 회전 구속보다 변위 구속 조건에 지배적으로 영향을 받음을 확인하였다.

터널 공사에 있어서 Shield TBM 장비의 활용이 증가함에 따라 Shield 공법의 효율성 증대를 위한 다양한 연구 또한 수행되어졌다. Shield TBM에 대한 연구들은 대부분 굴착 대상이 되는 지반의 특성을 고려하여 Shield TBM 장비 선정, 굴진속도 계산, 모델식 개발 등에 초점을 맞추고 있으며, 굴착의 주체가 되는 Shield TBM 장비와 장비에 의해 발생하는 트러블로 인한 공기지연에 대한 연구는 수행되어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, Shield 터널 공사 중 Shield 장비의 초기굴진을 대상으로 하여, 굴진 시 발생하는 트러블에 의해 야기되는 공기지연 시간 및 원인을 FMEA기법을 이용하여 분석하였고, 공기지연 방지를 위한 관리 방한의 제시를 목적으로 각각의 트러블 항목들에 대한 우선순위를 결정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 이전까지의 연구들에서 지반적 요소들에 비해 상대적으로 소홀히 다루어진 Shield TBM의 기계적 요소들의 트러블이 공기지연을 일으키는 주요 원인이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 각각의 공기지연 발생 요소 중 공기지연 위험도가 큰 몇몇 항목을 대상으로 트러블 관리방안을 제시함으로써, 본 굴진 및 향후 유사 조건의 프로젝트 수행 시 보다 효율적으로 공사를 수행할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
