description This paper proposes a set of field test technology system for layered settlement of composite strata based on weak reflectivity fiber Bragg grating sensing technology based on the shield project of “Keyuan Station ~ Shenzhen University Station” section of Shenzhen Metro Line 13, and through the comparison and verification of three-dimensional numerical simulation and field monitoring, the law and distribution characteristics of disturbance settlement of ground surface and overlying strata during shield tunneling are systematically analyzed, and the vertical and horizontal zoning (layer) system for the spatial and temporal evolution of layered settlement of composite strata during shield tunneling is constructed. On this basis, the targeted settlement control technical measures and recommendations are proposed. The findings show that the weak reflectivity fiber grating sensing technology can better perceive the evolution law and distribution characteristics of vertical and horizontal settlement of composite strata caused by shield tunneling, which is in good agreement with the numerical simulation results, and has the advantages of automation and high precision, it can be used as a supplement and alternative method for traditional measurement methods. The stratum deformation is small and layered settlement is not obvious in shield approaching stage (−5D~0), after shield crossing and shield tail falling (0~3D), the stratum is the longitudinal main deformation zone of shield tunneling disturbance, and the influence range of the whole tunneling disturbance is about (−1D~3D). Meanwhile, according to the influence degree of shield tunneling disturbance, the overlying strata of the tunnel can be divided into main disturbance layer and secondary disturbance layer, and the main disturbance layer is located in the range of 0.5D above the tunnel. In addition, based on the different stages of shield tunneling and the vertical and horizontal zoning (layers) of existing structures such as buildings (structures), the settlement control measures and suggestions are proposed. The research results demonstrate the feasibility of weak reflectivity fiber grating for distributed and continuous strata monitoring. It has important guiding value for improving the understanding of settlement law produced from shield construction in composite strata and analyzing and predicting potential risks resulting from shield construction. It also provides reference value for future subway design and construction.
