The other type is that the monitoring elements are distributed in the location of the adjacent pipe pieces in the model soil, as shown in FIG. 13. It can be understood that in FIGS. 12 and 13, the infusion tube 32 is not drawn, but it does not mean that the infusion tube 32 is missing, it only to describe the distribution of the present monitoring elements better. In other embodiments, the location and number of monitoring elements to be laid out should be selected with the actual simulation needs.

[0069] In this embodiment, the model soil is divided into four layers, the model soil is silty powdery clay and powdery clay in the upper part of the shield shell, the model soil is medium coarse sand in the lower part of the shield shell, and the model soil for shield tunneling is powdery fine sand.
