Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a model test simulation tunnel step excavation mold and a use method thereof, which is particularly suitable for simulating the step excavation process of tunnels, tunnels and chambers in geomechanics model tests. The mold has convenient assembly and disassembly, accurate and stable test data, can improve the excavation test efficiency of the model test, and belongs to the field of model test technology. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, more and more geotechnical engineering researchers have used geomechanical model test technology to conduct research. Compared with research methods such as theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, model tests have the advantages of being intuitive, simple, and short in cycle. Using model tests, by controlling parameters and variables, the characteristics of surrounding rock pressure changes during the excavation of tunnels, lanes, underground chambers, etc. can be studied intuitively.

[0003] In order to meet the needs of economic development and people's production and life, the cross-sectional dimensions of tunnels, lanes, and underground chambers excavated in geotechnical engineering are constantly expanding, and the construction difficulty is becoming increasingly greater. At present, there are many feasible methods for excavating ultra-large cross-sectional tunnels, among which the most widely used is the step method. Under different geological conditions, the excavation footage and step sequence of the step method need to be determined according to the changes in surrounding rock pressure. Due to the complex geological conditions on site and the large cross-sectional dimensions, it is difficult to install a sufficient number of sensors for monitoring during the construction process, resulting in interruption and loss of collected data. The change in surrounding rock pressure is very critical to the safety of construction. The acquisition and early warning of surrounding rock pressure during step excavation are crucial to safe construction.

[0004] It is convenient and feasible to use geomechanical model tests to study the excavation of tunnels, lanes, and underground chambers. According to the similarity ratio of the model test, similar materials and loading equipment are used to simulate the geological and mechanical conditions of the tunnel prototype. The model is filled and the sensors are buried in the model test bench. After the material is air-dried, it is preloaded to balance the ground stress. Manual excavation is used to simulate the on-site excavation steps, so as to obtain the characteristics and laws of the surrounding rock pressure changes, and guide the on-site construction according to the test results.

[0005] At present, the common practice is to embed sensors around the model tunnel during the model filling process to monitor the pressure changes of the surrounding rock during the excavation process. However, some of the embedded sensors are easily damaged and fail during the model filling process, and during the loading process, the sensors will move with the compression of the filler and enter the excavation surface, seriously affecting the subsequent excavation and data collection. The step excavation method commonly used in geomechanical model tests is artificial step excavation, that is, using a special-shaped shovel to chisel, shovel, and cut the model tunnel face according to the step excavation steps, which has low work efficiency. Due to the large errors in manual operation, the tunnel often over-excavates or under-excavates, making it difficult to accurately reflect the actual tunnel excavation status, and thus it is impossible to collect and record the surrounding rock pressure changes when the tunnel is excavated using the step method, resulting in the meaninglessness of the model test.

[0006] Prior to the present invention, the invention with application number 2017104277233 provided a test device and test method for simulating surface deformation caused by step-method tunnel construction, which consisted of a box, three sets of propulsion models and a detection device. The box was provided with through holes, which could simulate the construction process of step-method tunnel construction causing surface deformation in the laboratory, so as to understand the influence of step-method tunnel construction on surface deformation. This patent simplifies the tunnel step excavation steps into 3 steps, which cannot restore the real tunnel excavation process in terms of quantity and form. Its tunnel module is large, and the friction resistance encountered during the propulsion process is large. There is no load applied to the top of the model tunnel, and the simulated geological conditions are single. The monitoring uses a mechanical micrometer, which requires manual reading, and the workload is large and the process is cumbersome.

[0007] The invention with patent number 2013105372256 provides a tunnel micro-step method process teaching simulation body. The simulation body tunnel is equipped with 4 process display sections that display the railway tunnel micro-step method process flow, a formal tunnel section display section and a tunnel portal display section. The process display section is cast with concrete and can be used for indoor railway teaching. However, this patent is large in size and can only be used for teaching demonstration. It cannot simulate and monitor the changes in surrounding rock pressure during tunnel excavation.

[0008] In view of this, it is necessary to invent a mold and a method of using the mold that can simulate the step method of tunnel excavation in a model test, so as to improve the excavation efficiency and monitoring accuracy of the model test tunnel. Summary of the invention

[0077] like Figures 8 to 12 As shown, the present invention provides a method for using a model test simulation tunnel step method excavation mold, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0078] (1) When the model platform is filled to the height of the tunnel floor, each excavation module 1 is connected to form an excavation footage section through a fastener 42. According to the excavation footage requirements of the model test, several excavation footage sections are assembled, and the assembled excavation footage sections are connected through a data plug 23 and a data interface 24, and finally connected to the data acquisition device 2 to form a tunnel excavation profile prefabricated model;

[0079] (2) Place the prefabricated model connected to the tunnel excavation contour at the tunnel excavation location, continue to fill the model and compact and air-dry it, and after the model is completed, connect the data cable 22 to the laptop to monitor the changes in tunnel pressure when the model is loaded to the ground stress equilibrium;

[0080] (3) After the monitoring data is stable, excavation of the model tunnel is carried out. The knob 423 at the connection between the module to be excavated and other modules is rotated in the opposite direction using a cross-shaped screwdriver to loosen the upper fastener 421 and the lower fastener 422, and the fastener 42 is removed;

[0081] (4) Using a disassembly tool, insert it into the disassembly hole 5, clamp the mortise structure, and remove the excavation module 1 from the excavation footage section to complete the excavation work of the module;

[0082] (5) Repeat steps (3) and (4) according to the needs of the simulated excavation process until the tunnel is excavated in steps. After all the excavation work is completed, save the monitoring data and analyze the impact of each step excavation on the surrounding rock pressure of the tunnel.
