5.6.4.3.7. The seismic effect on the tunnel lining for the structures erected in the regions (zones) having the seismicity of 7 balls and more should be considered by the Manual [16].

5.6.5. Calculation of structures of the underground facilities

5.6.5.1. The analytical models of the structures should maximally correspond to the structures operating conditions and specifics of interaction of the designed structure elements with each other and with the ground.

5.6.5.2. Calculation of the underground structure should be conducted in correspondence with basic provisions of the GOST 27751 taking into consideration unfavorable combinations of the loads and effects probable for the separate elements or for the whole structure that can act simultaneously during the construction or operation. In this case it is necessary to consider the following:

- General combinations of loads consisting from the continuous and temporary (long-term and short-term) loads and effects;

- Special combinations of loads consisting from the continuous loads, most probable temporary loads, and one of the specific loads or effects.

The simultaneously acting temporary loads should be considered according to the SNiP

2.01.07. 5.6.5.3. The structures should be calculated by the marginal states of the first and the

second groups. 5.6.5.4. The calculations by the first group marginal states are obligatory for all structures.

They should be fulfilled for general and special combinations of loads using the reliability factors, load combination coefficients according to the SNiP 2.01.07, coefficients of structure operating conditions, and calculated values of strength characteristics of their materials, and where appropriate, dynamic factors.

The tunnel linings should not be checked on their robustness, excluding the big span linings with minimum covering over the flooring, the calculation of which is conducted by the bridge diagram.

5.6.5.5. The calculations of structures constructed by the closed method by the first group marginal states should be executed taking into consideration the specifics of their operation:

а) For the cast-in-situ concrete and cast-in-situ reinforced concrete linings in the dewatered grounds, or in case of availability of water-proofing the probability of plastification in the most tense cross-sections should be taken into consideration;

b) For the cast iron and pre-fabricated reinforced concrete linings with pull braces the location and size of initial gaps in the joints, deformability of joints and probability of plastification should be taken into consideration.

At the calculation of concrete and reinforced concrete linings the additional coefficient of the structure operating conditions reflecting the inaccuracy in the analytical model for the cast-in-situ linings should be accepted equal to 0,9, and for pre-fabricated linings the

Page 38: Russian Metro Standard (SNIP)

the general combination of loads using the reliability factors on the loads and on the structure operating conditions equal to 1, and for standard values of the strength characteristics of materials.

At the calculation of linings constructed by the cut-and-cover method of works the following requirements should be considered:

- For the reinforced concrete elements of the floorings the values of vertical deflections and crack opening displacement should be defined, in this case the value of deflection from the action of continuous and temporary vertical loads within the span should not exceed 1/200L (L is the length of calculated span) at the limiting value of prolonged opening displacement of the separate cracks up to 0,2 mm;

- For the reinforced concrete elements of walls the values of horizontal deflections and crack opening displacement should be defined, при этом величина deflection from the action of continuous and temporary loads for the walls of underground structures should not exceed 1/300Н, for the ramp walls - 1/200Н (Н is the calculated height of the wall) at the limiting value of prolonged opening displacement of the separate cracks up to 0,3 mm.

The circular outline structures constructed by the closed method should not be checked on deformability.

N o t e – It is allowed not to execute the calculation of structure by the second group marginal states if the

practice of application of analogous structures or experimental testing of the designed structures suggests that

their hardness is sufficient, and the structures provide normal operation of facilities.

5.6.5.7. The reinforced concrete elements of the pre-fabricated tunnel linings without the arrangement of solid water-proofing constructed by the closed method in the watered grounds should be calculated on the load taking into consideration the reliability factors on loads according the clause 5.6.4.2.17 on the base of conditions of impermissibility of fissuring at the all stages of work (manufacturing, storage, transportation, mounting, and operation).

In the tunnel linings constructed in the dewatered grounds, as well as in the linings having the water-proofing along the whole contour the value of crack opening displacement is allowed to be no more than 0,2 mm.

5.6.5.8. The statistical calculations of linings for all types of tunnels constructed by the cut-and-cover and closed method of works on the designed loads can be executed by the construction mechanical methods (for example, according to the [17]).

Calculations of linings of the tunnels constructed by the closed method should be conducted taking into consideration the back pressure of the ground mass, except for the linings designed for the loose grounds (like the running or mud grounds) that can be calculated without considering of the back pressure.

5.6.5.9. The calculations of the crack resistant cast-in-situ and pre-fabricated round outlined (circular, elliptical, etc) linings with pull braces in the deep burial tunnels (no less than three-fold width of opening to the surface ground) in the homogeneous isotropic grounds can be executed by the mechanical methods for solid media on the base of solution of the contact problem regarding the interaction between the lining and ground mass. The initial data at the calculation by these methods are the values of main initial stresses (gravitational or tectonic) in the virgin ground, deformation characteristics of the lining materials and surrounding ground, as well as technology of the tunnel construction according to the [18].

5.6.5.10. It is allowed to conduct the pre-calculation of the structures on the base of assumption of linear work of the structure material and ground mass using the data on the elastic resistance coefficient.

The deformation characteristics of the ground mass (modulus of deformation, Poisson’s ration, elastic resistance coefficient) should be defined on the base of data of engineering-and-geological researches, natural and laboratory researches, as well as the data obtained during the construction of tunnels in the analogous engineering-and-geological conditions.

5.6.5.11. The frictional and adhesive forces between the tunnel lining and ground should be taken into consideration, except for the cases of bedding of the tunnel in loose grounds. In this case the values of tangential stress transferred to the ground should not exceed the values of extreme shearing stresses for the ground.

5.6.5.12. For the pre-fabricated tunnel linings in foundation of which watered fine and pulverescent sands or hydromorphic binder soils are bedded it is recommended to execute testing of the circular joints strength taking into consideration the effect of temporary load from the Underground Railroad train traffic.

following surveying data should be defined: - design longitudinal axis of the shield (tunnel), fastened in the chamber arch at three or

more points; - normal to the longitudinal axis of the shield (tunnel); - reference level mark correlated with the design center of the shield. Herewith it should be considered than the design mark of the shield center is more than the

design mark of the tunnel center by the value of half-difference between the diameters of the internal surface of the shield cover and external circumference of the ring.

The first three shield segments should be installed with the participation of the mining surveyor with accuracy in plane and by the height no more than ± 10 mm without twisting.

After completion of the shield mounting the longitudinal and radial surveying should be conducted by the results of which the following should be defined:

shield and tail of the shield cover. Displacement of the shield center from the design direction of the route in plane and profile

should not exceed ± 50 mm. Taking into consideration the process of the vertical settlement of the tunnel lining rings at the exit from the cover it is recommended to advance the shield in profile 2 - 3 cm above the project mark. This dimension can change on the base of experience of the tunneling in the given geological conditions.

For definition of the shield position in plane the distances between the cutting and tail arcs, cutting arc and cutter, tail arc and tail as well as the distances from the axis marks to the cover bottom and to the real longitudinal axis of the shield should be measured.

At the definition of positions of the cutting and tail arcs relating to the design axis the cutter and tail positions relating to the design route marks should be calculated using the ratio of distances between the arcs and cutting and tail arcs.

To define the shield position in plane and profile the laser direction positioner, optical panel meter, geodetic level, or automatic shield advance device should be used. To define the shield roll the level gauge, plummet, and gradienter should be used.

The design-and-construction organizations conducted the engineering-and-geological researches for the construction project, or other specialized organizations should be engaged in this work.

6.4.1.2. The engineering-and-geological provision of the construction openings with application of the tunneling complexes and tightening weight of heading (liquid, ground) should be executed by the programs corresponding to the individual kind of complex.

5.4.1.3. In case of revelation of discrepancy between the real engineering-and-geological conditions and ones reflected in the project documentation the customer, construction and design organizations should be notified regarding this fact.

6.4.1.4. In case of necessity of correction of the engineering-and-geological conditions the additional researches and investigations should be conducted.

The additional researches and investigations should be executed in case the following unforeseen in the project problems occur during the tunneling:

6.4.1.5. In case of revelation of the hazardous engineering-and-geological conditions in the heading the works should be stopped, manager of the mining works should be notified, and records regarding that should be inserted in the field supervision log.

Further the degree of supposed hazard and risk should be evaluated with participation of the customer, construction and design organizations representatives, and the engineering-and-geological provision group manager.

6.4.2. Scope of works at the construction of facilities by the closed method

6.4.2.1. The scope of engineering-and-geological works includes: - systematic description of the grounds in the heading, arch and walls of opening; - evaluation of the grounds strength and stability; - check of correspondence of the engineering-and-geological conditions and calculated

indices of the physical-mechanical characteristics of grounds accepted in the проектной documentation to the real data revealed during the execution of the construction works;

Page 136 of 295

6.4.2.4. During the elaboration of the engineering-and-geological documentation the fissuring degree in the heading should be evaluated by the Table 6.4.1 with definition of stability of the heading crown and side walls of the opening; the facts of strata pressure, availability of inrushes and over-brakes of ground should be fixed; specifics of the accepted tunneling method, its effect on the conditions and stability of grounds, tunneling speed and availability of processes negatively effecting on the bearing ability of the permanent tunnel lining should be noted.

Stability of grounds in the opening can be evaluated approximately in correspondence with the Table 6.4.2. It is recommended to compile the local classifications by the ground stability applicably to the individual engineering-and-geological conditions taking into consideration the methods of execution of works and heading areas accepted in the project.

6.4.2.5.

heading part of walls. The grounds are spited to the large blocks of

the 10 m3 volume

Low fractured 1 - 2 The average distance between the different systems’ fissures is equal

to 0,7 m, and more. The volume of ground blocks separated by

crossing fissures compiles 0,5 - 6,0 m3

Fractured 3 - 5 The average distance between the different systems’ fissures is equal

N o t e s

1. The number of fissures is defined on two perpendicular planes (for example, heading and wall) at the

length exceeding the average distance between fissures in 8 - 10 times. The fissures of all systems should be

considered regardless from their opening and filling with secondary formations.

2. The category of grounds by the difficulty of development should be defined in the whole for all mass of the grounds developed in the heading. If there are two-three different groups ratio of their categories in per cents

from the heading area should be given.

N o t e s 1. The grounds stability means their ability to keep the balanced conditions in the heading (at the given

engineering-and-geological conditions, at the given method of the mining works and specific heading area)

without any obvious deformations during the time period necessary for installation of shoring.

2. In case the low stable or totally unstable grounds are bedded in the opening roof, the grounds within the

heading should be characterized correspondingly.

3. The ground stability degree can be defined depending on the specific conditions as by one criterion, as by complex of criteria.

In the areas where according to the earlier executed researches (for the designing substantiation) the engineering-and-geological conditions are characterized as complicated, the heading inspection should be conducted especially carefully with the purpose of revelation of hazard and risks due to man-triggered engineering-and-geological processes. Among the latter ones the loss of heading grounds stability causing the subsequent deformations of the grounds in massive and formation of the surface settlement moulds represent the biggest hazard.

6.4.2.6. During the construction process the prognosis of engineering-and-geological conditions of sites running ahead the heading should be executed.

The engineering-and-geological researches data for designing with additions and their instantiation on the base of current information obtained during the elaboration of documentation on the opening should be accepted as the basis of prognosis. It is advisably to use the method of engineering-and-geological analogy for prognostication. The already constructed sections of the given or other lines with doubtless geological analogy and with similar structural and technological solutions can be accepted as the object-analogue.

6.4.2.7. During the hydro-geological surveying being the part of the engineering-and-geological works in the openings the value of the water inflow to the headings should be defined, water temperature measurements and its sampling for the chemical analysis should be conducted.

On the base of real water inflows and hydro-geological monitoring data the values of the water inflows at the tunneled sections and at the sections of the forthcoming tunneling represented in the project documentation should be corrected.

The characteristics of the water inflow in the openings are represented in the Table 6.4.3. T a b l e 6.4.3

basic works according to the Appendix 6.7.А4 should be compiled. 3rd stage – completion of the system operation. Decision about the completion of works on dewatering should be taken by the committee

and approved by act according to the Appendix 6.7.А5 with indication about the further utilization of wells or their liquidation in correspondence with the RD (Regulatory Documents) 07-225 and project.

6.7.2. Artificial freezing of grounds

6.7.2.1. The artificial freezing of grounds should be applied for protection of openings from the water inflows or ground masses where utilization of other methods is ineffective.

Freezing of grounds should be executed either with application of cooling agent, circulating in the closed system – cooling station – freezing columns, or at the direct evaporation of the cooling agent – liquid nitrogen or solidified carbon dioxide in the freezing columns.

Development of the technology of the ground freezing with liquid nitrogen should be executed by the project organization having the experience of work with low-temperature cooling agents.

The vessels and instruments of the freezing stations operating under the pressure should be commissioned according to the PB 03-576.

6.7.2.2. Before the works start it is necessary to inspect the buildings, structures, and underground communications located in the affected area of the frozen grounds. To control their probable deformations the installation of observation stations should be provided.

6.7.2.3. Putting the freezing system into operation should be approved by act according to the Appendix 6.7.B1. The works in the frozen grounds area should be started only after the formation of ice-and-ground barrier of the design thickness and temperature. Permission for the execution of the tunneling works in the frozen grounds area should be approved by act

Page 158: Russian Metro Standard (SNIP)

Page 158 of 295

according to the Appendix 6.7.B2. 6.7.2.4. Construction of the shaft sections and escalator tunnels in the unstable watered

grounds should be executed under the protection of the ring ice-and-ground barrier. In this case the freezing columns should be embedded in the waterproof layer.

In case of unavailability of the waterproof layer or its insufficient thickness the solid or zonal freezing of the ground mass should be applied.

6.7.2.5. At the shaft driving under the protection of the ring ice-and-ground barrier during the each run the ground should first be developed within the unfrozen core to the depth indicated in the WEP, and then the frozen ground should be developed.

In case of considerable water inflow in the heading indicating the discontinuity of the ice-and-ground barrier the works should be stopped, the shaft should be flooded to the static level of the ground waters, and additional freezing of the grounds should be conducted.

6.7.2.6. It is recommended to accept the following distance between the freezing wells, m, no more:

- at the contour freezing: а) for shafts - 1,2; b) for escalator and main line tunnels - 1,1; - at the freezing of open pits with location of wells in two lines: а) internal line - 1,25; b) external line - 1,5; c) between the lines - 3,0; - at the freezing of solid mass: а) by the contour - 1,5; b) inside the contour - 3,0. 6.7.2.7. During the process of the freezing wells drilling works the real temperature and

rate of the ground waters flow, as well as their salinity should be defined. During the drilling process for the each tenth well by the ice-and-ground barrier contour

the real depth of the waterproof layer should be defined. In case of discrepancy between the real and design data the project documentation should be corrected.

At the displacement of the well from the design position additional wells should be drilled and included in the freezing process.

The number of additional vertical wells at the depth of freezing up to 100 m can be no more than 10 %, inclined - 20 %, at the depth of freezing more than 100 m - 20 and 25 %, correspondingly.

The depth of wells at the drilling should no less than 1m exceed the length of the freezing column.

Before the beginning of the design period of active freezing of the grounds no less than 5 days should be provided for leading of the freezing station to the design mode.

6.7.2.8. The control of the execution and acceptance of works on the artificial freezing of grounds should be conducted according to the Table 6.7.1. T a b l e 6.7.1

6.7.2.9. For the pits where the frozen ground is used as the temporary enclosing structure keeping of the grounds in frozen conditions should be executed in the active mode during the whole period of the construction works.

6.7.2.10. Application of the drill and blast method of works in the area of the ice-and-ground barrier is allowed on the base of specially developed WEP taking the measures against the barrier stability failure and on the intactness of the freezing columns.

6.7.2.11. In case the freezing columns get in the area of the opening section they should be disconnected from the system, the cooling agent should be removed from them, and they should be plugged. The remaining parts of columns should be connected to the freezing system again.

6.7.2.12. Decisions regarding the readiness of the site for execution of basic works and regarding the stop of works on the artificial freezing of grounds should be approved by acts according to the Appendices 6.7.B2 and 6.7.B3.

6.7.2.10. In case of substantiation it is allowed to combine the works on artificial melting of the frozen grounds with other construction-and-mounting works.

6.7.3. Injection grouting

6.7.3.1. The injection grouting at the construction of the underground structures should be applied for driving the sections of loose water-saturated and disturbed rocky grounds, arrangement of the pits fencing, protective screens (curtains), strengthening of foundations of buildings and other structures located in the affecting area of the construction, as well as for liquidation of emergency situations occurring during the construction process.

6.7.3.2. The methods of grouting by the type of applied injection materials can be divided to the cementation, silicatization, and tarring, by the method of injection of the solution into the ground – to the ordinary injection and jet grouting.

6.7.3.3. The method of grouting should be selected on the base of engineering-and-geological and hydro-geological researches, ecological requirements, and technical-and-economical comparison of the grouting variants.

Depending on the engineering-and-geological conditions, purpose, and accepted method of injection the injection solutions on the base of mineral binding or polymeric materials having the wide range of rheological and physical-and-mechanical characterictics and providing the increase of hardness and anti-filtration density of grounds, or the water suppression should be applied for the ground treatment.

6.7.3.4. To select the method of grouting and obtaining of the initial data for designing of injection works in addition to the main engineering-and-geological researches the special researches and investigations should be conducted.

At the 1st stage the detailed data regarding the geological structure of the grounds, hydro-geological conditions of the section, and physical-and-mechanical characteristics of the grounds on the base of researches executed according the clause 4.1 or fulfilled additionally for updating of the engineering-and-geological conditions applicably to the specifics of conduction of the injection works should be obtained.

At the 2nd stage the laboratory researches and experimental works on grouting in the natural conditions providing the selection of initial materials for preparation of the solution, definition of its physical-and-mechanical and rheological characteristics should be executed.

After the stipulation of the kind and composition of the injection solution the experimental injection of the ground at the construction site for checking and updating of parameters of the injection grouting, and correction of the grouting technology should be conducted.

6.7.3.5. The experimental grouting, as a rule, should be conducted in the cases when the grouting should be applied for the especially critical structures, or in the extra difficult engineering-and-geological conditions, as well as in case of necessity of guaranteed achievement of the design characteristics of the stabilized ground.

At the execution of experimental works the design volume and radius of grouting, physical-and-mechanical characteristics of the stabilized grounds should be defined, the technological approaches and parameters of injection (discharge pressure, consumption of the injection materials), period of injection per the unit of the ground volume, and in case of jet cementation the solution and air discharge pressure, speed of lifting and rotation of the monitor, number and diameter of nozzles, consumption of the solution per 1m of the well should be corrected.

If the experimental injection is not conducted no less than 10 % of the injection wells should be accepted as experimental.

Page 161: Russian Metro Standard (SNIP)

Page 161 of 295

By the results of conduction of the injection works the correction of the project documentation by the injection grouting should be executed.

6.7.3.6. During the process of execution of works the technological parameters of the injection works should be corrected depending on the changes in geological and hydro-geological characteristics of the grounds revealed during the process of execution of works.

6.7.3.7. The working documentation on the injection grouting should be elaborated by specialized project organization. The documentation should contain the following technical solutions and data:

- feasibility study of the selected grouting method; - solution on the assignment of the type (kind) of the basement or other structure from the

stabilized grounds, and constructive scheme of the grouting in correspondence with the settled technical problem;

- scale engineering-and-geological plans and cross-sections with inserted design outlines and dimensions of the stabilizing ground masses, as well as requirements to the mechanical, deformational, and other properties of the stabilized grounds;

- data regarding the volumes of the stabilizing ground masses, and total amount of the materials necessary for execution of works;

- location of the injection and reference wells in the stabilized ground mass in plane and by the depth with indication of their depths, slopes, diameters, allowable displacements;

- scopes of works on the control grouting and instructions on their execution; - additional instructions to the measures on the works quality control, safety measures,

environmental protection; - calendar schedule of works where the consequence and periods of execution of their

separate kinds on the base of the scopes, technology and availability of mechanisms and equipment should be stipulated;

- other data having the general construction nature (auxiliary facilities, activities necessary in case of execution of works in winter conditions, etc).

6.7.3.8. The works on the injection grouting should be executed by the specialized construction organization or by the sector experienced in the conduction of drilling and injection works.

6.7.3.9. Organization of works on the grouting should provide: - preparation of the construction site to the works, including the construction (where

appropriate) of the special chambers, openings at the tunneling in the unstable water-saturated ground areas, fencing of the working sites, arrangement of the temporary domestic premises, warehouses, tents, heating of the ready-mix stations;

- provision of the site with electric power, water, compressed air; - geodetic marking of the tunnel axis and outline at the execution of works with the

daylight surface; - delivery, disposition, connection, and testing of the technological equipment; delivery

and storage of the construction materials; - organization of laboratory service. 6.7.3.10. The injection works should be obligatory documented with indication of time of

Page 162: Russian Metro Standard (SNIP)

Page 162 of 295

beginning and completion of works, numbers of wells and boundaries of the sites of execution of works, main technical specifications of the used equipment, composition of solutions, etc. It is also necessary to register data regarding the regimes and consumptions of the solutions, their characteristics, results of hydro-testing of the wells, deviations from the WEP requirements and their reasons.

At the execution of the injection works the common works log-book should be kept, as well as the log-books of drilling and hydro-testing of wells, discharge and control of parameters of the injection solution and backfill stones.

6.7.3.11. In case of revelation of changes in the engineering-and-geological conditions, necessity of alteration of the works execution methods, and in the other substantiated cases the further works should be executed after the insertion of corresponding alterations and amendments in the project documentation only.

6.7.3.12. The following requirements should be imposed on the injection solutions: - high penetration ability; - providing the maximal yield of the backfill stone; - possibility of regulation of the technological (rheological) parameters (viscosity, period

of curing or solidification, etc); - mechanical stability and anti-filtration density of the stabilized ground corresponding to

the purposes of injection. The main types of the injection solutions and their short characteristics are represented in

the Table 6.7.3. At the selection of the type and composition of the injection solution it is necessary to

consider: - geological and hydro-geological conditions of the specific site; - injection purpose (increase of the hardness, stability, or water-proofing of the grounds,

filling of the large cavities or fissures, preventing of the water inflow, etc); - designation of the solution (injection, drilling, for arrangement of the casing, soil-cement

piles, etc); - requirements to the physical-and-mechanical characteristics of the stabilized ground, and

to the technological parameters of the solution (density, viscosity, period of curing, etc); - costs and ecological requirements to the materials used for preparation of solutions. 6.7.3.13. At the ordinary injection of the grounds to provide the high strength

characteristics of the grounds (> 1,0 МPа) the all kinds of solutions (suspensions) on the cement base with additives, extra finely dispersed adhesive mineral “Microdur”, silicate (solid gels) with organic and inorganic hardeners (including the bi-solution silicatization), as well as the polymeric resin solutions should be used.

To increase the water-proofing (anti-filtration density), stability, and to provide the hardness of the stabilized ground within 0,3 and 1,0 МPа the slurries of liquid consistencies with the sodium silicate and bentonite clay, extra finely dispersed adhesive “Microdur”, silicate solutions with inorganic hardeners (mono-solution silicatization), polymeric resin solutions of low concentration should be used.

For the jet cementation of the grounds it is recommended to apply the suspensions of the mineral adhesives (cement, bentonite clay, etc) of liquid consistencies.

To improve the properties of all kinds of solutions the different additives, regulating the rheological features of the solutions (viscosity, period of curing or solidification) and characteristics of the stabilized ground (hardness, water-proofing, etc) should be used.

6.7.3.14. The injection solutions (suspensions) on the base of mineral materials (cement, clay, ash, etc, additives) should be used for filling of the cavities, large pores and fissures, increase of the hardness and water-proofing of the coarse-pored loosed grounds with the filtration factor of 50 m/day and more, as well as for fractured rocky grounds with fracture

opening value of 0,1 mm and more, and specific water absorption of 0,01 l/min⋅mm of the

Page 163: Russian Metro Standard (SNIP)

Page 163 of 295

water column and more. 6.7.3.15. It is recommended to use the extra finely dispersed adhesive “Microdur” for

injection of porous grounds (including the pulverescent and fine-grained sands) with the filtration factor of 0,3 m/day, and fine fractured rocky grounds with fracture opening value of 0,05 mm and more, as well as in the cases when the considerable increase of the hardness of the used grounds is required, or application of the resin solutions is prohibited by the ecological requirements.

6.7.3.16. The extra finely dispersed adhesive “Microdur” suspensions have the properties of the ordinary cement suspensions and differ from them by the grain-size composition, that provides their viscosity comparable with the viscosity of water and dispersion-free adhesives (soluble in water polymeric resins). They can be applied in all ground conditions where application of the cement and silicate and polymeric materials solutions is possible.

6.7.3.17. The silicate solutions should be used to increase the hardness and water-proofing of porous grounds with the filtration factor from 0,5 to 80 m/day, and fine fractured rocky grounds with the fracture opening value of 0,05 mm and more, as well as for initial or secondary (after the injection of the cement-based solutions) treatment of grounds.

To provide the high strength characteristics of the ground (2,0 МPа and more) the bi-solution silicatization, and mono-solution receipts with the hydrofluorosilicic acid hardener should be used. The other silicate receipts provide the hardness of the stabilized ground within 0,3 - 1,0 МPа, and water impermeability of the ground, and can be applied as for treatment of grounds before and after their cementing, as independently, according to the hydro-geological characteristics of the grounds and requirements to the grouting.

6.7.3.18. The injection solutions on the base of polymeric resins (as a rule, carbamide resins of the КМ marks, with the oxalic acid hardener) should be used for injection to the fine fracture sand porous grounds with the filtration factor of 0,3 m/day, however, application of the polymeric resins can be restricted by the ecological requirements.

6.7.3.19. In the cases when the treated grounds have increased content of carbonates or organic particles (0,1 - 3,0 %), or it is necessary to decrease the filtering-off degree of the liquid phase of suspensions on the base of mineral adhesives at the injection of fractured porous grounds, it is recommended to conduct the preliminary treatment of the grounds with lean acid solutions (hardeners to the resin solutions).

6.7.3.20. The scope of works on the injection grouting includes the drilling, wellhead completion and location construction and well testing, preparation and injection of the injection solution, retrieving of the drilling equipment (injectors, cup-type, etc), as well as the works on the quality control of the grouting.

6.7.3.21. The scope of works in the jet cementing of the grounds includes the drilling of the pilot wells and lowering of the monitor into the well, it’s installation at the design depth, preparation of the injection solution, lifting of the monitor with simultaneous supply of the injection solution through the nozzles, wash-out of the cavities in the ground and their filling with soil-cement material, retrieval of the working body and moving of the aggregate to the next point.

6.7.3.22. All design wells before the drilling start should receive numbers indicating the regular position of the wells at the field of operation regardless from the drilling and injection periods.

All additional wells drilled during the injection works should receive the numbers of the nearest design wells with addition of «п» symbol (repeated), «к» symbol (reference), etc.

6.7.3.23. Drilling and injection of the wells should be conducted, as a rule, from the external outlines to the internal ones, from the lower to the upper wells, and by the method of consecutive approximation of the wells – by stages. At such consequence the next separate wells or groups of wells are reference relating to the previously used or formed at the jet cementation soil-cement piles.

The real displacement of the wellheads from the design position should not exceed 0,1 m. 6.7.3.24. The exploration and injection wells at the sections with high water head should be

drilled through the preventer units in order to prevent the water breakthrough with

Page 165: Russian Metro Standard (SNIP)

Page 165 of 295

uncontrolled removal of ground and provide the possibility of prompt injection of the solution into the well for liquidation of removal.

6.7.3.25. Depending on the hydro-geological conditions of the section and accepted technology of injection at the injection of solution the conductors (to provide the given direction of wells, shoring and hermitization of wells), or packers (for hermitization of wells) in case of treatment of the fractured grounds through the drilling rod or cap column, as well as pill injectors or cap columns in case of treatment of the loosed grounds should be used.

The injection suspensions on the base of extra finely dispersed adhesive “Microdur” should be injected into the grounds only through the cap columns.

6.7.3.26. It is recommended to execute the drilling of wells and injection of solutions by the method of downward (the well is drilled at the depth of the first run, injected, then the injected area is drilled-out, and the well is drilled at the length of the second run, etc) or upward runs (the well is drilled-out to the whole depth, and treatment of the ground is executed by the sequential runs, from the well bottom to the wellhead).

The depth of runs (length of treated wells) should not exceed 10 m. In the unstable disturbed grounds at the crossing of sections with big water inflow their depth should be decreased to 3 m.

6.7.3.27. The additional wells should be drilled in the case the areas with the solution loss 10 times exceeding the average loss for the given stage of wells, areas with inadequate injection, or well sections that cannot be drilled to the design depth by the production circumstances are revealed among the injected wells.

6.7.3.28. The equipment for execution of the injection works should be selected depending on the method of grouting (injection, jet cementing), scope of works, type of the injection solution, and technological flow-sheet of its preparation and injection.

The mixing and injection equipment should provide the proper mixing of the solution components and required injection pressure, high work speed at the minimal labor and material expenses, minimal blockage of the construction sites, convenient transportation, mounting and demounting, and safety maintenance.

6.7.3.29. Materials during the process of preparation of the solutions by the mechanized method should be dozed by mass. Water and water solutions of silicates, resins, and additives should be dozed by volume. The accuracy of dozing for water and cement compiles up to 3 %, for the given component volumes of the silicate and resin-based solutions, as well as additives – up to 5 %.

The each next component should be fed to the vessel of the mortar mill after obtaining of homogeneous mixture of previously fed components in the full volume.

The additives for improvement of the solution properties should be prepared beforehand in the kind of higher concentration solution, and injected into the tempering water in the amount providing their working concentration in the injected solution.

6.7.3.30. The components of the cement-based solutions should be fed into the mortar mill in the following order: water – bentonite clay - cement – sodium silicate. The prepared slurry should be continuously mixed or moved up to the moment of its injection to the well, and should be used during no more than four hours after its preparation.

6.7.3.31. Suspension of extra finely dispersed adhesive “Microdur” should be prepared in the high-speed mortar mill with the blender rotary speed no less than 3000 rpm at the electric motor power no less than 2 KW, or in the turbulence mixer with actuator and automated dozing of the adhesive, water, and additives.

The order of the components feed into the mortar mill: water – super-plasticizer С-3 – accelerator of curing – mineral adhesive extra finely dispersed adhesive “Microdur” (gradually and by batch).

6.7.3.32. At the mixing of components of the silicate and resin solutions in the mortar mill the hardener should be added to the silicate and resin, При смешивании компонентов

Page 166: Russian Metro Standard (SNIP)

Page 166 of 295

растворов силикатов и смол в растворомешалке отвердитель добавлять к силикату и смоле, and not the reverse; the design time of the gel formation should be controlled by means of solution sampling with registering of the moment of the gel formation.

6.7.3.33. The injection solution should be injected to the well directly after the hydraulic testing.

6.7.3.34. Depending on the solution kind the injection should be executed by the single-component scheme – using one pump, by the single solution supply conduit (the solution components should be mixed in the mortar mill before the injection) or by the double-component scheme - using two pumps, by two solution supply conduits (the solution components should be mixed in the hydraulic blender at the wellhead).

6.7.3.35. Injection of the solution should be executed by the clamping method using the pumps with variable-speed drive, or by semi-circulating method using the pumps with non-controlled drive.

6.7.3.36. The normal injection is the mode where the solution injection is conducted continuously, with gradual decrease of the solution supply; in this case the solution pressure corresponds to the limit pressure, or gradually increases to the limit pressure, and all injected solution gets into the ground.

The composition of injected solution should not change when at the continuous injection the supply of the solution decreases with the constant pressure, or the solution pressure increases at its constant supply.

Density of the solution should be increased if the pressure does not rise at the maximal supply of solution, or the solution supply does not fall at the limit pressure.

6.7.3.37. In case the solution leaks out to the surface or to another well the place of leak should be immediately plugged (oakum, wooden wedges and plugs, quick-setting mortar). The thickening of solution, decrease of the injection pressure, etc, can also be effective.

In case it is impossible to stop the solution leakage during the injection process the well should be left for settling to the period from several hours to 2 - 3 days.

TRANSFORMERS POWER CALCULATION METHOD

The power of transformers for the electromechanical installations power supply (power transformer) and transformers for the lighting networks and other consumers power supply (lighting transformer) should be defined on the base of results of calculation of the total power of electrical receivers connected to the SB1 and SB2 of the TSS and SS substations, correspondingly.

The calculations should be executed in the table form with distribution of the electrical receivers by the groups taking into consideration their characteristics and operating modes indicated below.

1. Calculation of capacity of electrical receivers connected to the SB1 1.1. The calculation results should be reflected in the Table 1. 1.2. The design power of escalators should be defined on the base of number of escalators

operating in the peak hours upward with passengers and downward without passengers, depending on the height of lifting according to the Appendix 5.10B.

The average value of the design power factor cos ϕ at the moving upward should be accepted to be equal to 0,82, at the moving downward - 0,2.

N o t e – it is recommended not to consider the input to network from the electrical drive of the escalator at

the moving downward in calculations, as in this case the total design power will be lower.

1.3. The design power of the electric receivers of the ventilation and pumping plants should be defined by the formulas:

Рр = Кз ⋅ Рн;

Qp = Pp ⋅ tg ϕ, where Рр is the active design power, KW;

Рн is the installed (rated) power, KW; Кз is the loading factor; Qp is the design reactive power, KV·Ар;

tg ϕ corresponds to the cos ϕ value for the calculated electrical receiver.

The recommended average values of cos ϕ for different consumer groups are represented in the Table 1.

The number of electrical receivers, their installed (rated) power and loading factors should be accepted according to the project data, or on the base of assignments of the corresponding installations’ developers. The power of reserve aggregates should not be considered in the calculations.

1.4. The design active and reactive power of the uniform by the operating mode installation groups should be defined as the sum of Рр and Qp values for the each electrical receiver.

To define the design power of SB1 the ΣРр and ΣQp values should be multiplied by their operation coincidence factor - Кор.

It is recommended to accept the Кор values taking into consideration the following suppositions:

- the ventilation installations should be related to the consumers with continuous schedule of work. On the base of operating data the design Кор factor for the tunnel ventilation installations should be equal 0,8, and for the local ventilation installations - 0,4;

- the pumping plants should be related to the consumers with periodical schedule of work, their Кор factor should be within the range 0,12 - 0,5. At the definition of the design power the Кор factor should be accepted within the indicated range depending on the supposed mode of their operation. In case there are no data regarding the Кор factor it should be accepted as 0,5;

- the electrical heating devices should be related to the consumers with periodical schedule of work, their Кор factor should be accepted equal to 0,5. In case of application of electrical heating of staircases by the electric cables or other devices the Кор factor for them should be

Page 205: Russian Metro Standard (SNIP)

Page 205 of 295

no less than 0,8; - for other installations not having the defined operating modes the Кор factor should be

accepted to be equal to 0,3. 1.5. The design power of electrical receivers connected to the SB1 should be defined by the

formula:

( ) ( ) .2

pp ∑∑ += QPS

2. Calculation of capacity of electrical receivers connected to the SB2 2.1. The calculation results should be reflected in the table 2. 2.2. The design power of the lighting installations should be defined as the sum of design

power of LI of the working and emergency lighting of the station, adjacent sections of tunnels and near-tunnel structures, as well as other electrical receivers connected to the SB2.

The design active and reactive power of the LI should be defined as the sum of Рр and Qр

values of the separate lighting installations; Qр = Ррtg ϕ, tg ϕ corresponds to the capacity

factor cos ϕ of the lighting installation. At the definition of the design load of the tunnel lighting the LI of the working and

emergency lighting should be considered. The design power of the other electrical receivers should be defined according to the clause

1.3.

To define the design power of SB2 the Для ΣРр and ΣQр values for LI should be multiplied by the coincidence factor Кор equal to 0,9; for the other electrical receivers Кор should be accepted to be equal to 0,5.

2.3. The total design power of the electrical receivers connected to the SB2 should be defined by the formula:

STATION PASSENGER PREMISES LIGHTING INSTALLATIONS CALCULATION

METHOD

The formalized method of calculation of LI is designated for calculation of the necessary number of LI elements at the unknown light intensity curve of the lamp. The calculated values of the utilization factor consider the multiple reflections and differentiation by the weighted average values of the reflection index of premises.

The given method allows executing of the direct and inverse tasks of the LI calculation (definition of the average illuminance or necessary number of lamps).

The LI calculation should be executed in the following consequence: 1. On the base of plane and cross-sectional drawing of the premises the premises index

should be calculated: i = b / 2hp,

where i is the premises index; b is the width of premises, m; hp is the design height, m. The design height hр should be accepted for the following LI elements: а) direct light (light distribution class - П, share of the light flux from the lamp directed to

the lower hemisphere is more than 80 %) - h; N o t e – The light distribution class should be defined taking into consideration the architecture of the station

on the base of supposed ratio of the light fluxes re-distributing by the LI elements to the upper and lower parts of premises.

b) preferably direct light (light distribution class - Н, share of the light flux from the lamp directed to the lower hemisphere is 60 - 80 %) - 5h + 3h0 / 8;

c) evenly distributed light (light distribution class - Р, share of the light flux from the lamp directed to the lower hemisphere is 40 - 60 %) - h + h0 / 2;

d) preferably reflected light (light distribution class - В, share of the light flux from the lamp directed to the lower hemisphere is 20 - 40 %) - 3h + 5h0 / 8;

- reflected light (light distribution class - О, share of the light flux from the lamp directed to the lower hemisphere is 20 % and less) - h0; where h is the height of location of lamps over the calculated surface;

h0 is the height of the ceiling over the calculated surface. 2. in correspondence with the accepted decoration materials the reflection indices of the

ceiling ρпот, walls ρст and floor ρпол surfaces (Recommendations [10]) are defined, and the

weighted average value of reflection index of the premises surface ρср.вз is calculated:

,ρρρ

ρполстпот

полполстстпотпотср.вз

SSS

SSS

++

++=

where Sпот, Sст, Sпол are the areas of ceiling, walls, and floor;

ρпот, ρст, ρпол are the reflection indices of ceiling, walls, and floor.

3. By the calculated values of the premises index i and weighted average value of the ρср.вз factor for the selected light distribution class of the lighting installation element the utilization factor и is calculated:

и = kic,

where i is the premises index;

Page 210: Russian Metro Standard (SNIP)

k, c are the factors defined formally through the weighted average value of reflection index.

Or, at the known light flux of the light sources, the necessary number of LI elements N is

calculated by the formula

where Еср is the average horizontal illuminance;

Енор is the critical (minimal) horizontal illuminance;

S is the area of the illuminated surface;

Кз is the factor of safety;

z is the irregularity ratio.

ON THE CABLE MARKING

1. General provisions The cable marking taking into account the maximal pithiness, easiness of decoding and

demonstrativeness should contain the following information:

а) type of current;

b) voltage;

c) cable mark;

d) cable number in case of availability more than one cable in the feeding line;

e) номер источника питания - substation;

g1) the same, electrical installation;

g2) » distributing point;

g3) » control cabinet;

g4) » electrical receiver;

i) number and cross-section of the cable conductors;

к) track number.

2. Labels Structure and dimensions in mm for the marking labels are represented in the Figure 1,а.

The labels should be suspended to the cable using the 1mm diameter copper or galvanized

steel wire. The wire should be turned around the cable twice. The ends of the wire should be

one turn twisted.

The ring near the label should have the diameter no less than 10mm (figure 1,b), in order to

the label could easily move.

Depending on the location of the cable the labels should be suspended according to the

Figure 1,c. The labels’ suspension should be executed in every 100 m along the length of the

straight cable section. At the cable laid in parallel the label should be suspended in one and

the same place (near the piquet marks).

The label should also be suspended near the end and connecting sleeves, on the both sides

at the places of laying of cable through the walls, near the entrance under the platform, to the

collector, and to the other premises.

3. Insertion of designations Digital and symbol designations should be inserted on the label using the electrical pencil

made from the nichrome wire with diameter no less than 1 mm and connected to the 6V

transformer.

At the insertion of designations no one of the figures or symbols should not be similar with

other one (for example, symbol «З» with the figure «3»); the height of figures and symbols

should be equal to 6 mm. to separate the designations the «dash» symbol should be applied.

4. Designations At the front side of the label the а), b), and c) designations should be inserted.

At the label of the cable of TTC, communication, or automation devices additionally the:

«TTC», «Communication», or «Automation» should be indicated.

At the back side of the label the other information depending on the electrical network type

should be indicated.

CONTROL OF THE ELECTRIC CORROSION PREVENTIVE MEASURES

EXECUTION AND EFFECTIVENESS

1. The following should be executed during the acceptance process:

- inspection of the superstructure for revelation of places of connection or contact of the

track rails with structure elements;

- electrical measurements:

а) transient resistance between the track rails and tunnel lining (earthing bus);

б) resistance of conducting and insulating joints of the track rails;

в) resistance of insulating joints of the track rails with IB;

г) conditions of insulating sleeves of cables and flanges of pipelines;

д) availability of galvanic contact between the reinforcement bars of reinforced concrete

blocks, between the reinforcement bars of blocks and earthing bus.

2. Revelation of places of connection or contact of the track rails with structure elements

should be conducted first by the inspection of places and sections of the most probable

connections, and then (after the elimination of revealed connections) by special

measurements.

The most probable places of track rail connections:

а) with the tunnel lining – at the places of location of gates;

б) with pipelines – at the places of their passage under the tracks;

в) with cable sheathes – through the IB outputs and switch point drive structures;

г) with reinforcement bars of trough reinforced concrete blocks – through the free length of

reinforcement bars;

Page 290: Russian Metro Standard (SNIP)

Page 290 of 295

д) with reinforcement bars and details of bridge or overhead road structures – through the

fixing bolts of the superstructure.

To reveal the connections with track rails by the measurement method the 50 - 60 V DC

power supply on the 50 - 100 А current should be inserted instead the middle bus of IB. Using

the portable pointer voltmeter with 10 V range scale and more the difference of potentials

«rail-lining» (earthing bus, structure, etc) should be measured along the tunnel. At the place of

connection the voltmeter reading should be equal to zero.

In case of conduction of measurements at the train traffic the application of DC power

source is not necessary, as the difference of potentials «rail-lining» created by the traction

current should be measured.

Similarly the connections on the metro-bridges, overhead roads, in the electric depot are

defined.

The revelation of damaged insulating inserts in the cross-ties (in case it cannot be made by

inspection) should be conducted by measurement of resistance of the circuit «screw – base

plate - rail» with devices М-416, МС-08, М-1101 (see table). The insert is considered to be

damaged if the measured circuit resistance is equal or close to zero.

3. Measurement of the transient resistance between rails and tunnel lining (earthing bus)

are executed using the resistance meter – device of М-416 or МС-08 (07) type.

The measurement should be conducted by the scheme according to the Figure 1.

The measured rail string is separated from the other rail network by removal of the middle

bus of IB or its isolation with non-metal gaskets.

measurement schemes

The measurements area should not include connected to the middle bus of IB cables of negative booster lines and inter-track connectors.

The device is connected by one clamp to the middle output of IB of measuring string, by

another – to the middle output of the IB of adjacent rail string (figure 1а). In the tunnels with

cast iron liners another clamp can be connected to the liner or any structure connected with it

by metal (figure 1б). The measurements should be conducted in correspondence with

instruction on the device operation.

The transient resistance of measured rail string should be correlated with 1 km of the track,

Оhm·km, by the formula

RP-T = RизмL / 1000,

where Rизм are the device readings, Оhm;

L is the length of the measuring section, m.

At the measurement of transient resistance of track rails at the sections with one traction

string of track the both rails should be connected by temporary lintel.

4. Measurement of resistance of the conducting joints of track rails should be conducted

using the special joint-meters (for example, ЦНИИ-56 type) by the scheme indicated in the

figure 2, or using two millivoltmeters with measuring limits of 10 - 100 mV – by the scheme

in the figure 3.

Figure 2. – schemes of measurement of track rail assembled joint resistance (а) and testing of

joint-meter (б)

Figure 3. – Scheme of measurement of track rail assembled joint resistance by two

millivoltmeters

The 1,2V, 10 А⋅h alkali accumulators are used as the DC sources (for example, two НКМ-

10 elements, connected in parallel) of other source having sufficient power.

The joint-meter schemes are assembled by the principal of incomplete bridge completed

with two ports at the installation on the track (1m length solid rail and rail joint with two rail

ends, with the total length of 1 m). Zero reading of indicator (bridge is balanced) in the

measuring diagonal of the bridge is achieved by changing of regulated bridge ports. At the

measurement the indicator point should be installed on zero. The count of the measured

resistance of the rail joint id conducted by the position of joy stick at the potentiometer scale.

The measured resistance does not include the resistance of rail ends forming the joint. At the

measurement it is necessary to control the position of joint bars and joint connectors totally

between the end and middle clamps of the rod with the «joint» mark, and keeping of good

contact between the clamps and rail.

At the measurement using two millivoltmeters (figure 3) the resistance of joint in meters of

the rail length is defined by the formula

RCT = U1 / U2 - 1,

where U1 is the voltage drop per 1 m of rail with joint;

U2 is the voltage drop per 1 m of rail without joint.

In this case the synchronous registering of U1 and U2 should be conducted no less than five

times, and should be defined as average value.

5. Measurement of resistance of the isolating joints of rails with IB is executed by two

millivoltmeters (figure 4) with measuring limits: mV1 - 1000-0-1000 and mV2 - 100-0-100

mV.

For measuring the DC source similar with indicated in the clause 4 should be used. At the

short-term connection of the source to the rails simultaneously the voltage drop at the half of

joint (mV1) and at the 1 m length rail (mV2) should be measured. The similar measurements

are executed for the other half of joint (shown with dash line). Then the measurement is

repeated on the other rail.

Resistance of the joint related to the resistance of 1 m rail is defined by the formula

RДС = U1/U2 + U3/U4 - 1,

where U1 and U3 is the voltage drop at the halfs of choke joint for the given rail string;

U2 and U4 is the voltage drop at 1 m rail.

It is allowed to use the special devices for measurements, such as joint-meters.

Figure 4. – Scheme of measurement of joint isolation resistance of track rail with IB

6. Measurement of the track rail isolating joint resistance is executed by the circuit «joint

bar-rail» (figure 5) using the auxiliary power source (а) or resistance meter МС-08(07), М-

416 (б).

At the measurement by the 5а scheme no less than 9 – 10V DC power supply is connected

(for example, two series-connected batteries of КБСЛ-0,5-4,5V type), the current and voltage

in the indicated circuit are measured using the high-resistant device, then the isolation

resistance of the «joint bar-rail» circuit is calculated.

Measurement by the 5б scheme can be conducted using the МС-08(07) or М-416 devices.

7. Control of the isolating cable sleeves conditions is executed by the schemes according to

the Figure 6. At the train traffic the 6,а scheme is applied, without the train traffic - the 6,б

scheme.

1 - cable; 2 – isolating sleeve; 3 – power source

Figure 6. – Scheme of approximately control of isolating cable sleeve conditions without the

power source (а) and with the power source (б)

The cable between the millivoltmeter connection points should not contact with the

structure elements, brackets, etc. The sleeve is considered to be serviceable if at the мV

device the point is not deviated from the zero position, and the V device registers difference

of potentials. The accuracy of evaluation can be increased using the measurement by the 6,б

scheme with application of 50 – 60V battery.

At the measurement the length of cable sections to which the measuring devices are

connected should be the same.

At the more than 1000V cables the measurement is conducted at the dead working voltage.

8. Control of conditions of insulating flanges on pipelines.

Measurement at the insulating flanges should be conducted according to the Figure 7.

Figure 7. – Scheme of control of conditions of insulating flange with neutral insert (а) and

without insert (б)

The resistance between the neutral insert and external sections of pipelines is measured by

the МС-08(07) or М-416 device. The insulating flanges are considered to be serviceable if the

resistances exceed 10 Ohm. If there is no neutral insert the control of conditions of insulating

flanges should be conducted by the schemes indicated in the clause 7.

9. Definition of galvanic contact between the reinforcement bars of concrete blocks,

between the reinforcement bar and earthing bus.

Availability of galvanic contacts should be defined by the М-416 or МС-08(07) device

according to the Figure 8.

For contact with reinforcement bars the embedded or mounting metal items can be used, or

the concrete can be uncovered for access to the reinforcement bars. Is the measured resistance

is more than zero, there is no galvanic contact.
