Using the field experimental monitoring method andnumerical simulation method, after verifying the accuracy of the model, this manuscript begins to unfold theanalysis. The results show that, without any deformation prevention and control measures, The basement raft ofthe underground structure of the transportation hub will produce a deformation difference of 18 mm, and thetensile stress is more than 1.43 MPa, the inhomogeneous deformation and structural cracking will lead tostructural instability and groundwater surges, which seriously affects the safe operation of the transportation hubstation. When control measures are taken, the deformation and stress of the base raft slab of the undergroundstructure of the transportation hub are within the prescribed limits, which can ensure the safe operation of thestation. The displacement of the base slab of the underground structure in the horizontal direction of the crosssection is all pointing to the east, and the overall trend is to shift from the first tunnel to the backward tunnel. Thehorizontal displacement of the base slab in the direction of the tunnel axis all points to the beginning of thecrossing, and the displacement of the slab in the vertical direction is distributed as "rising in the middle andsinking in the surroundings". For a two-lane super-large diameter shield tunnel penetrating an undergroundstructure, there are two mechanical effects: unloading rebound and perimeter rock pressure. The above deformation characteristics are the superposition effect produced by the two, and this fine assessment of the deformation of the raft foundation provides a scientific basis for formulating the deformation control countermeasuresof the crossing project. At the same time, it makes up for the blank of the double-track super-large diameter shieldtunnel down through the transportation hub project.展开更多
