摘要：Shield construction has the advantages of stable driving speed, saving manpower, and being able to carry out construction in complex strata, which has been more and more widely used. In the process of shield construction, there is a gap between shield body and segment, which is easy to cause ground settlement when the grouting speed cannot keep up. This paper summarizes the common methods to predict the surface settlement, analyzes the causes of the settlement, and lists an engineering case to illustrate the factors affecting the surface settlement. Finally, it comes to the conclusion that the main causes of the surface settlement caused by shield tunnel construction are formation loss and consolidation settlement, and the use of small cutterhead and composite cutterhead can reduce the surface settlement, It provides a reference for the development of shield construction.
