    Abstract:Research purposes: Micropiles are defined as small-diameter (typically less than 300 mm). Due to the small resistance of a micropile, micropiles are always designed as a group in earth slope stabilization. Micropiles-slope system is a complex three-dimensional space system and the mechanism of loading is very complex, and there is lack of scientific method to analyze the ultimate resistance of micropiles in slope stabilization. In this paper, the ultimate resistance of micropiles in earth slope stabilization was studied systematically, and influential parameters were also analyzed. Research conclusions: (1) The ultimate resistance of micropiles increases significantly as the pile spacing in row decreases, however, the reinforcing efficiency of a micropile in the group will decrease. This means that, for economical design, the special attention should be paid on the reinforcing efficient of a micropile under the premise of ensuring the ultimate resistance of group piles. (2) The ultimate resistance of micropiles is not sensitive with the pile spacing in line. (3) The total resistance of reinforcement system increases with the increase of anchorage length, and micropiles deformation transforms from rigid-body rotation to substantial flexural distortion due to the increase of anchorage length. For earth slope stabilization, the optimal anchorage length is about 2 times of the length above sliding surface. (4) The research results provide theoretical guidance for the design and safety evaluation of micropiles in earth slope stabilization.

    Abstract:Research purposes: Composite lining is often used in the railway, highway and other traffic tunnels, and the primary support is generally designed by layer structure method or engineering analogy method, while the secondary lining is usually designed by load structure method, so it is difficult to evaluate the structural safety uniformly due to the difference of analysis methods. The current tunnel design code only specifies the safety factor requirements of secondary lining, but the composite lining is not a single structure, so it is necessary to study the general safety factor of primary support and secondary lining. And it is necessary to study the load-structure model of primary support to establish the design method of total safety coefficient.  Research conclusions: (1) For composite lining structure with shotcrete and rock bolt support, the surrounding rock pressure increases with the increase of the buried depth, therefore the tunnel support parameters should be adjusted according to the buried depth. (2) The unified design method of composite lining including primary support and secondary lining can be established by the load-structure model. (3) The general safety factor of composite lining tunnel should include the safety contribution of both primary support and secondary lining. When using steel reinforced concrete as secondary lining, the general safety factor should be not less than 3.0, or else not less than 3.6. (4)Different distribution of safety factor on primary support and secondary lining suggested by different design methods is shown in table 2. (5) The result of reanalysis on the structural safety of existing high-speed railway tunnel using this design method shows that when the buried depth is about 300 m, the supporting parameters of tunnel in surrounding rock of Ⅲand Ⅳ grade can be further optimized. (6) The research results can provide ideas and methods for structural design of composite lining tunnel.

    Abstract:Research purposes: Sandy cobble stratum has significant weak cementation, high sensitivity, and poor self-stability ability after disturbance, and there are few related engineering cases and researches on small clear distance shield tunnel underpassing through multiple arch bridge repeatedly in similar sandy cobble stratum. Based on shield tunnel of Chengdu metro line 5 and line 6 underpassing through multiple arch bridge, three dimensional finite element method is applied to analyze the influence of shield tunnel approaching excavation on displacement and internal force of multiple arch bridge in sandy cobble stratum, and the results are compared with that under condition of ground reinforcement, which provides theoretical guidance for the construction of shield tunneling.  Research conclusions:(1)When shield tunnel closely passes through multiple arch bridge which is not reinforced, the unreinforced bridge has large vertical and lateral displacements, the maximum displacement value is 3.92 mm and 0.52 mm respectively. The inhomogeneous settlement of pier and shield tunnel construction cause the axial force, shear force and bending moment of the arch bridge to change, and the maximum internal force occurs at arch foot.(2)For arch bridge foundation and surrounding strata of tunnel, grouting reinforcement can significantly reduce the overall displacement of the multiple arch bridge, the maximum vertical and lateral displacement of the bridge is 2.96 mm and 0.39 mm respectively, with a decrease of 24.5% and 25.0%, respectively. The axial force and shear force changes slightly, the bending moment value decreased significantly, decreasing by 13.1%. (3) The grouting reinforcement method can ensure the operation safety of multiple arch bridge during the shield tunnel construction, and the research results can provide theoretical guidance for the construction of sand cobble stratum shield tunneling.

In the pre construction tunnel excavation,these conditions occur frequently such as large deformation of tunnel primary support structure,part of the steel arch distortion and fracture,support structure instability,the initial supporting structure to penetrate the lining clearance,removing and replacing arch. After the tunnel links,lining concrete cracking,spelling, the cross section deformation and clearance-intrusion phenomena appear in local section of tunnel lining,which brings great security risks to tunnel construction and operation. Aiming at the problems of tunnel lining,after full analysis of the causes of deformation and cracking,this paper studies the process parameters of the test section for lining demolition for arch,analyzes stress and deformation rules of tunnel support and lining structure by strict monitoring,and puts forward reasonable engineering treatment measures.
    Research conclusions:(1)The regional geological structure of Liangshui tunnel is very complicated,for the weak thin slate,phyllite or carbonaceous phyllite in high stress,large deformation of surrounding rock appears and causes long passages of primary support deformation and lining.(2)Based on the construction experience,combined with the amount of field test section of surrounding rock large data analysis,double the initial support and double lining engineering measures are taken,the initial supporting arch strength is further optimized,which can effectively control the large deformation of tunnel lining.(3)According to high security risk for the demolition of arch construction,the measures with short,quick support, demolition of temporary arch,setting locking anchor pipe and following the rapid tunnel two lining,can further reduce and control the security risk. (4)The treatment measures proposed by this paper are based on the large section double line tunnel of railway through the geological conditions of soft rock deformation and rare condition of failure and deformation of initial support and lining,which has a certain guiding value for the similar tunnel construction.

    Abstract:Research purposes: For the high-speed railway lines with more embankment-bridge transition section, the control of the deformation difference between the road and bridge transition section is an important factor to ensure the smooth operation of the train, especially in deep seasonal frozen regions. In this paper, a transitional section of Harbin-Qiqihar Railway is used as a pilot monitoring section, based on the field test data of ground temperature change, frost deformation and settlement deformation, the ground temperature change, frost deformation of subgrade surface and settlement  of subgrade basement of embankment-bridge transition section of high speed railway in cold regions are analyzed, the ground temperature and deformation characteristics are revealed, thus the stability of embankment-bridge transition section can be evaluated.  Research conclusions: (1) At the initial stage of construction, graded crushed stone is easier to be endothermic and exothermic compared to coarse grained soil as for backfill materials of bridge back; the temperature difference in corresponding depth of these two kinds of fillers decreases gradually and tends to 0℃, and finally the new thermodynamic equilibrium is formed. (2) During the freezing process, the maximum deformation of embankment-bridge transition section is 4.6 mm, meeting the requirements of specification. (3) Graded crushed stone being adopted as backfill materials of bridge back, the change process of frost heave deformation of subgrade surface layer with the temporal and spatial can be divided into four stages: the rapid development period of frost heave, frost heave relatively stable period, frost uplifting stage and thaw felling period. (4) The relationship between frozen depth and frost heave deformation of surface layer of embankment-bridge transition section is nonlinear when graded crushed stone is applied. But, the maximum frozen depth of embankment influences the maximum cumulative frost heaving value of the subgrade surface. (5) The settlement of the southern slope is greater than the northern slope. The closer to the northern slope-toe, the settlement and deformation amplitude of substrate becomes smaller. During the period between completion of subgrade construction and track laying, the settlement of basement increases slowly. Currently, the settlement deformation amount of each measuring points of the basement meets the standard requirements. (6) The research results can further provide reference for engineering design, construction and maintenance in the future.

The exceeding of ambient noise functional zone on both sides of the railway has become a common problem, and parts of railway projects have not yet passed the environmental acceptance check due to the noise problem. In order to normalize and unify noise control target and noise control measure choice in environmental impact assessment and design, in order to solve the problem of noise control in the environmental acceptance check projects, it is necessary to carry out the research on the principle and measures of railway noise management and the application of the conditions.  Research conclusions: (1)Railway noise control should give priority to take engineering measures on the noise source and acoustic pathways and implement the active control of noise, at least to ensure a reasonable indoor acoustic environment quality. (2)Train noise sources are mainly concentrated in wheel and rail area under the body more than 2.0 meters, barrier above the rail height 2.05 m can effectively shield direct sound from the wheel and rail area and the lower part of the body area.

    Abstract:Research purposes: In order to evaluate the driving stability and comfort performance of straddle-type monorail transit, the dynamic interaction between vehicle and track beam is studied. A spatial coupling vibration model of monorail system is established before the calculation program is self-compiled for simulation analysis. The dynamic characteristics of standard PC track beam are calculated and assessed, and the influence of different speed and passenger volume on dynamic responses is discussed.  Research conclusions: (1) The relationship between midspan displacements of track beam and vehicle speed is not obvious in vertical and transversal directions. The transversal and vertical accelerations of track beam and lateral responses of pier top increase with the rise of the travel speed. Augment of passenger volume will increase the vertical deflection of track beam. (2) The transversal and vertical accelerations of vehicle increase with the rise of the speed, and decrease with the enlargement of the passenger volume. (3) Standard track beam performs well, and the monorail vehicle can pass through the track beam smoothly under designed condition of speed and passenger volume.

(2) When pile top elevations are lower than -5 m, the collapsible soil depth of the soil surrounding the pile is less than 6 m and the collapsible class is lower than Ⅱ, the soil surrounding the pile does not apply negative friction to piles.

    Research purposes : Normally,with the length of steel truss over 80 m,bridge deck system should set stringer break - joint, to reduce joint force the bridge deck system bears in main structure. 108 m steel truss decking of Tongjiang Heilongjiang Railway Bridge adopts light - weight deck structure with pretensioned prestressing concrete track bed by bolting horizontal and longitudinal beams. In order to adapt to the layout of track bed,improve the smoothness of the track and reduce maintenance workload of bridge structure, comparative analysis is conducted through the establishment of finite element model,to investigate feasibility of setting continuous vertical beams in the steel truss deck system of the bridge.
    Research conclusions:With continuous vertical beam,the effect on bridge deck system within the integral steel beam is enhanced,to alleviate the stress on the main truss,especially the lower chord. Axial tension of the longitudinal beam increases significantly,causing the enlargement of external bending moment of the horizontal beam especially the end of it,and the enlargement of the horizontal deflection. The setting of joint brackets causes slight increase in the longitudinal axial tension,but greatly reduces the external bending moment of horizontal beam and horizontal deflection,longitudinal cross - section should appropriately increase to meet the needs of its own strength. The research results can provide valuable reference for the design of similar bridges.

    Abstract:Research purposes: As a new method of metro station construction, the pile-beam-arch(PBA) tunneling method is developing rapidly. Neglecting the interaction between underground structure and soil, existing research results mainly focus on surface settlement and pipeline deformation. In particular, there is a lack of research on soil deformation caused by the construction of holes and piles in the four-hole and three-span structure. Based on the Suzhou Street Station of Beijing Metro line 16, the law of surface subsidence in the phase of pilot tunnel excavation was studied through the date of field monitoring. Metro station construction was dynamically simulated with FEM to study soil deformation during the construction in the four-hole and three-span structure.  Research conclusions: (1) "Effect of group cavities" will appear when a plurality of adjacent pilot tunnels are excavated together.

In addition to the bottom soil that has vertical upheaval due to unloading after excavation, the other soil mainly was mainly horizontal deformation. After station construction, certain horizontal displacement that moves to the center of station raised in the soil over the vault. Horizontal displacement, caused by stretching deformation of the supporting structure, toward the outside station obvious took place in the soil on both sides of the vault and the soil around the pile end moved to metro station.

    Abstract:Research purposes: The rails at the transition between bridge and tunnel will crawl longitudinally under the effect of temperature gradient, which influences the stability of CWR. Taking the rail at the temperature transition zone as the research object, the differential equation of rail displacement was established, the mapping relationship between rail temperature distribution and longitudinal displacement was deduced, and the law of influencing rail crawl of ballastless track was revealed in this paper.  Research conclusions: (1) The longitudinal deformation and its range of nonlinear resistance model is much larger than the linear resistance model; for the rail maximum displacement, the non-linear distribution of rail temperature is 5.3%~38.6% higher than that of the linear distribution. It is suggested to consider the non-linearity of rail temperature and longitudinal resistance to accurately obtain the rail displacement at the transition. (2) When the rail temperature difference is constant, with the maximum temperature force gradient ratio k varying from 1.5 to 3.5, the largest rail longitudinal displacement increases only 7% when the transition zone length is 10 m but it increases 26.7% and 32.8% respectively when the length is 40 m and 50 m. Thus, more attention should be paid to the nonlinear rail temperature distribution for the transition with high rail temperature difference and long rail temperature transition zone. (3) The increase of limit resistance of fasteners will reduce the rail crawl significantly, but the influence degree is limited. The rail displacement decreases 40.8%~49.2% with the limit resistance varying from 6.5 kN/(m·rail) to 12 kN/(m·rail), but when the resistance changes from 24 kN/(m·rail) to 30 kN/(m ·rail), the slippage only is only 12.8%~24.4%. (4) The analytical expressions can accurately describe the mapping relationship between the parameters and the rail longitudinal displacement and provide useful references for further study of force characteristics of rail at the transition and improving the stability of CWR. 
