Abstract
Closed-type shield tunneling methods were developed together with computer-aided automatic control systems. However, automatic control systems are based on empirical relationships and do not have a precise theoretical background. In this paper, a model of the theoretical dynamic load acting on the shield during excavation is developed, taking into account shield tunnel engineering practices; i.e., the excavated area, the tail clearance, the rotation direction of the cutter face, sliding of the shield, ground loosening at the shield crown, and the dynamic equilibrium condition. To evaluate the validity of the model qualitatively, the simulation of shield behavior and the sensitivity analysis of the model parameters on the shield behavior are carried out in both straight and curve alignments for both sandy and clayey ground. The results for the shield behavior are examined, comparing them with the empirical and the theoretical one, and it is confirmed that the proposed model represents the shield behavior reasonably well.
