Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of mine construction engineering, and particularly relates to a pressure-relief supporting structure suitable for a deep vertical shaft and a construction method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The vertical shaft is a common shaft engineering in the mining, water conservancy and transportation industries, and is a key passage for ventilation and transportation. The vertical shaft, especially the deep vertical shaft, needs to face the double difficulties of high surrounding rock pressure and high permeable water pressure when the design and construction of the vertical shaft meet the high-pressure and high-yield water stratum in the deep part. In the high-permeable water pressure environment of the deep vertical shaft, the construction operation environment of the vertical shaft is poor, the pouring quality of the concrete shaft wall is difficult to guarantee, and the risk of sudden gushing water is high. Therefore, the grouting and water plugging technology is often used when the vertical shaft meets the strong water-bearing stratum.

[0003] The construction technology of the shaft lining grouting mainly includes three types of ground pre-grouting, working face pre-grouting and wall back grouting. The working face pre-grouting is carried out when the vertical shaft is excavated to a certain distance away from the water-bearing stratum or the water-bearing stratum is exposed, and the protective measures need to be taken when there is high-pressure water.

[0004] In the working face pre-grouting process, in order to ensure that the slurry can effectively diffuse along the fissure under pressure and prevent the slurry from running on the working face, the method of reserving a grouting-stopping rock cap or pouring a concrete grouting-stopping pad on the working face is often used. When there is a dense impermeable layer above the water-bearing stratum, the shaft excavation is stopped after reaching a certain distance above the grouting section, and a grouting-stopping rock cap is reserved for the water-bearing stratum. If the working face of the shaft cannot reserve the grouting-stopping rock cap, an artificial grouting-stopping pad needs to be built. Under high surrounding rock pressure, especially in strong rock burst sections, stress release measures such as increasing the thickness of the concrete shaft wall, using high-grade concrete shaft wall, using high-section high-shotcrete anchor net primary support or constructing advanced pressure-relief boreholes near the working face are often used.

[0005] The grouting and water plugging, thickening of the shaft wall and high-grade concrete support have the following problems:

[0006] 1. Grouting and water plugging: the grouting construction period is long, the cost is high, and the slurry diffusion is difficult to control under high-pressure environment, and the water control effect is unstable;

[0007] 2. Rigid support: thickening the shaft wall or using high-grade concrete significantly increases the material cost and construction difficulty;

[0008] 3. Local pressure relief: advanced pressure-relief boreholes and high-section high-shotcrete anchor net primary support can only release stress near the working face, the range is limited and needs to be constructed in stages, and the process is complex. SUMMARY
