To validate the
feasibility of the construction technology of mechanized construction for
wastewater pump room in shield tunnel and the reliability of the bottom sealing
concrete of the pump room, an indoor test is designed to simulate and validate
the safety of the bottom sealing concrete slab in the high water pressure deep
stratum environment. Then, threedimensional(3D) finite
difference software FLAC3D is employed to build a 3D numerical model to
simulate the bottom sealing situation. The FLAC3D internal contact element is
used to simulate the contact surface between the bottom sealing concrete and
the outer shield body, and further examine the influence of considering the
contact on the calculation results of the model. The results show the
following: (1) The design of simulation system is reasonable, the test results
of mechanized construction of pump room bottom sealing test in main shield
tunnel can meet the expected requirements, and the mechanized bottom sealing
grouting can meet the design requirements, indicating the feasibility of the
technology. (2) The contact surface has a great influence on the calculation
results of the model, resulting in a better prediction of the force of the
contact surface. (3) Generally, the underground water pressure in the actual
project is far lower than the test one, the results of the indoor test and
numerical simulation have a certain safety reserve, and the sealing technology
of the mechanized construction of pump room is feasible in the actual project.
