The city of Moscow is currently faced with the extremely aggravating problem connected with traffic. Hereupon, majority of transportation systems are being expanded and upgraded. Construction of new running tunnels and subway stations, road spans, crossovers, underground parking lots, etc. is in process. The new construction affects the existing development sites in the time of surplus fallout, which leads to emergency situations. It is required to provide geotechnical monitoring of soil mass in the influence zone of new construction. To this effect, the wireless online monitoring system has been designed and introduced into surveillance of building structures and soil mass. The system is meant for the integrated and continuous observation of a control object. The operation charts and advantages of the wireless monitoring system are presented. The introduction experience of the automated geotechnical monitoring in the process of construction is described. The observation of a railroad overpass used the tilt sensors and crack meters. The deformation monitoring in soil mass was carried out using borehole deviation devices and extensometers. It is demonstrated that the time of the measurement cycles is related with the position of the shield tunneling face relative to the measurement boreholes. The interpreted data analysis proves correlation of the measured and predicted deformations. The deformation propagation in depth of soil mass is characterized. The data analysis made it possible to predict deformations of ground surface and, thereby, to eliminate a potential accident during shield tunneling under the surface railroad.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
