Everywhere in Saint Petersburg the top strata are represented by quaternary deposits, and the ground water level is approximately 2,5 m down from the surface. Below the quaternary deposits, at depths of 40 to 60 m, are Cambrian (Proterozoic) clays. There are many ancient buildings of a historic and architectural value on the day surface that cannot tolerate day surface settlements. The construction of underground stations, and especially inclined escalator tunnels, causes surface settlements. Technologies of construction of escalator tunnels and station tunnels have been developed in Saint Petersburg to minimize such day surface settlements.
The intelligent technology of designing of the constructions of pillar underground station is adduced. Station is building with applying of low-settle technology, which takes into consideration main stages of the building process. The scheme of interaction of the system «support lining-soil massif» was accepted as basic scheme of calculations. The calculations of the stress-strain condition of constructions was performed with applying of finite-elements method.
Methodology for assessment of state of advance support of face with fiberglass anchors and the working¢s roof – with tube anchors, is given. The results of in-situ experimental observations for efforts in anchors, displacements of excavation and growth of load on the advance supports in its roof are shown.
In-situ testing technique of temporary support is given. The values of stress and normal force in arch and sides of steel support are shown. Determination of vertical load magnitude is done. It was determined that vertical load on support decreases by 1,54 times, if lag of support installation from the face is16 m.
