The observed data of surface settlement and the statistical analysis data of ground loss ratio caused by EPB shield tunnel construction are collected. Combining with the monitoring data and stratigraphic information of the sixteen sections in the interval from tunnel import to Shumuling station of the Chang-Zhu-Tan intercity high-speed rail Ⅱ standard, the ground loss and its factors induced by EPB shield tunnel construction are analyzed. The results show that the cumulative probability of ground loss ratio caused by EPB shield tunnel construction better obeys lognormal distribution; with the buried depth and the depth to diameter ratio increasing, the ground loss ratio decreases and tends to be stable, and the relationship between the ground loss ratio and the tunnel buried depth & the depth to diameter ratio can be approximately expressed by power functions; when H greater than 20m or H/D greater than 3.25, the ground loss ratio is basically stable near 0.75%, and the corresponding stratigraphic information indicates that the overlying strata in the shield tunnel is in the arch effect when constructing. So, it shows that the arch effect of the upper soil layer in the shield tunnel construction can be better control the ground loss ratio. With the increase of the time of shield tunneling through face, loss rate and nominal loss rate of the soil mass gradually increase and tend to be stable. It indicates that the consolidation deformation has great influence on the nominal ground loss ratio, and the maximum value is 4.58 times of the ground loss ratio caused by instantaneous settlement.
