Tunnel design

Tunnel structure

Overall layout

Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Tunnel is composed of surface road, underwater tunnel and six ramps on both sides. The main section of the tunnel is arranged from south to north.

 

Design features

The main tunnel of Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Tunnel is separated from the left and right. The cross section of the main tunnel is oval, which is used for ordinary passenger cars. The cross section of the service tunnel is approximately circular at the upper end and gentle at the lower end, which is divided into two layers. The upper layer is for regional maintenance vehicles and rescue survey, and the two sides are for lighting, archery, monitoring, traffic and other facilities. The lower layer is divided into two parts, and one side is for high voltage One side of the cable space is the water pipe, communication pipeline and other comprehensive pipe gallery space.

Construction achievements

Technical problems

construction technique

During the construction of Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Tunnel, there are the following key technologies:

1. Drilling and blasting method, shotcrete and anchor construction method support; 2, advance geological prediction; 3, anti collapse water gushing technology.

 

Construction problems

During the construction of Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Tunnel, there are mainly the following difficulties and characteristics

 

1. The engineering hydrogeology of Jiaozhouwan tunnel site in Qingdao is extremely complex. There are 22 kinds of rocks, which are igneous rocks with multi-stage intrusive contact, and the composition of rock mass is complex and changeable. Jiaozhou Bay Tunnel is the world's shallowest subsea tunnel with drilling and blasting method, and it is prone to collapse, water inrush and other disastrous accidents in construction. For example, four large collapse and water inrush accidents occurred in QingHan subsea tunnel, which makes it difficult and risky to prevent collapse and water inrush.
