The　filling　of　the　grout　in　the　shield　tail　clearance　of　the　shield　is　a　significant　measure　to　ensure　the　construction　quality　of　shield　tunnel.　The　process　of　the　pressure　dissipates　and　material　hardening　of　grouting　have　a　great　impact　on　the　deformation　and　force　of　the　soft　soil　layers　and　shield　tunnel.　However,　the　related　researches　focusing　on　this　issue　are　rarely　reported　in　the　literature.　By　considering　the　interaction　between　shield　machine　and　soil,　the　interaction　between　lining　grouting　layer　and　soil,　as　well　as　the　hardening　process　of　grouting　materials　and　the　dissipation　process　of　grouting　pressure,　a　finite　element　method(FEM)　numerical　simulation　model　of　shield　tunneling　was　conducted　in　this　study.　Based　on　a　case　of　shield　tunnel　in　Qingdao,　this　FEM　model　was　verified　by　measured　ground　settlement　and　convergence　deformation.　To　obtain　the　development　principle　of　the　deformation　and　force　of　the　soil　layers　and　shield　tunnel　due　to　the　pressure　dissipates　and　material　hardening　of　grouting,　the　FEM　numerical　models　without　considering　the　hardening　process　of　grouting　materials　and　the　initial　solidified　time　of　grouting　materials　being　2　hours,　6　hours　and　12　hours　were　calculated,　respectively.　The　FEM　results　show　that　the　settlement　and　horizontal　displacement　of　the　soil　layers　within　8　hours　of　grouting,　and　the　surrounding　earth　pressure　and　internal　force　of　the　shield　tunnel　increase　significantly,　while　increase　slowly　after　the　grouting　time　exceeds　8　h.　©　2024　Beijing　University　of　Technology.　All　rights　reserved.
