Abstract: In order to reduce possible pipeline leakage and damage caused by excavation of adjacent metro tunnels, based on soil excavation deformation, pipe-soil relative stiffness and material strength criterion, a method of allowable maximum settlement for rigid interface pipelines was established through analytical derivation for single-track tunnels and double-track ones respectively. Then, design charts of settlement control for pipelines of different materials were proposed. The results show that control standards of large-scale pipelines is relatively stricter, and the order of pipeline risk sources considering settlement control is like reinforced concrete pipeline > centrifugal cast iron pipeline > steel pipeline > nodular cast iron pipeline. Moreover, the modified standards with consideration to pipe-soil relative stiffness is more reasonable, and when pipe-tunnel is vertical and relative stiffness is small, standards will be stricter, which should be paid close attention to.

Key words: metro tunnel excavation, rigid interface pipeline, safety control, pipe-soil relative stiffness, allowable settlement
