TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel engineering, and particularly relates to a method for predicting ground stress increment caused by construction gap of TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) with slope change. BACKGROUND
[0002] The excavation path of a TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) is not necessarily a straight line in a horizontal plane, and in order to meet the site condition restrictions, the TBM has to be excavated along a large slope path uphill and downhill. During the tunnel excavation process, the ground loss will cause the surrounding rock of the TBM excavation boundary to move towards the tunnel center, and especially for a large slope tunnel, the ground loss rate changes with the tunnel depth. During the construction process, the construction gap caused by the ground loss will inevitably disturb the surrounding ground. At present, the calculation object of the prediction program of the ground disturbance caused by the TBM excavation is mostly a straight tunnel in a plane, and there are few reports on the calculation program of the ground stress increment caused by the ground loss for a large slope tunnel. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for predicting the ground stress increment caused by the construction gap of the TBM with slope change. SUMMARY
[0003] The present application aims at solving the above problems, and provides a method for predicting the ground stress increment caused by the construction gap of the TBM with slope change. Based on the three-dimensional source-sink method principle and the triple integral principle, the method can accurately calculate the ground stress caused by the construction gap, in combination with the actual three-dimensional space characteristics of the large slope tunnel.

[0057] The soil body is a semi-infinite body with the ground surface as a boundary and only containing the lower part of the semi-infinite body. Assuming that the soil body is an infinite body without a boundary, a unit volume void at a point F(x0, y0, z0) in the infinite body causes displacement components in the x, y and z directions at a point P(x, y, z) as follows:
[0058]
[0059]
[0060]
[0061] wherein r1 = [(x-x0) 2 +(y-y0) 2 +(z-z0) 2 ] 1 / 2 ;
[0062] A point F'(x0, y0, -z0) is set at the mirror image position of the point F(x0, y0, z0). A unit volume void at the point F'(x0, y0, -z0) causes displacement components in the x, y and z directions at the point P(x, y, z) as follows:
[0063]
[0064] wherein r2 = [(x-x0) 2 +(y-y0) 2 +(z+z0) 2 ] 1 / 2 ;
[0065] Based on the basic equations of elastic mechanics, the strain and stress solutions caused by a unit volume void are obtained as follows:
[0066]
[0067]
[0068] wherein G is the shear modulus of the stratum; and μ is the Poisson's ratio of the stratum.
[0069] The stresses in the x, y and z directions caused by a unit volume void are as follows:
[0070]
[0071]
[0072]
[0073] In order to meet the actual semi-infinite body boundary conditions, the shear stress generated by unit volume of void on the ground surface is applied to the ground surface in the opposite direction, and the stress components generated by point P(x, y, z) are obtained:
[0074]
[0075]
[0076]
[0077] In the formula, b, c, u, t are function arguments; r3 = [(x-u) 2 +(y-t) 2 +z 2 ] 1 / 2 ;
[0078] Based on the principle of superposition, the stress increment of any point caused by unit volume of void is obtained:
[0079]
[0080] (S2) Establish a three-dimensional space model of the large slope tunnel, determine the ground loss percentage generated by the TBM in the tunneling process combined with the construction path of the large slope tunnel, and obtain the actual construction gap of the large slope tunnel, specifically:
[0081] As shown in Fig. 2 , a three-dimensional space model of a large slope tunnel with a slope of γ (i.e., the angle between the tunnel axis l2 and the horizontal straight line l1 is γ, and the unit symbol is °) is established, wherein it is agreed that the downward tunneling of the TBM is the positive direction and the upward tunneling is the negative direction;
[0082] The center O' of the tunnel face of the large slope tunnel is at a depth of h (unit symbol: m). Since the depth at the x coordinate on the tunnel axis l2 varies with x and γ, this embodiment only discusses the depth h(x0) at point (x0, y0, z0) under a certain slope:
[0083] h(x0) = h + x0tanγ;
[0084] Assuming that the ground loss percentage is a non-constant value that varies with x and γ after the TBM tunneling without timely support, this embodiment only discusses the ground loss percentage η(x0) at point (x0, y0, z0) under a certain slope:
[0085]
[0086] In the formula, η is the maximum ground loss percentage, which is related to the engineering geological conditions, and also related to factors such as construction technology;
[0087] The three-dimensional construction gap volume generated along the unit length range of the large slope construction path is:
[0088] V s (x0)=πR 2 η(x0),
[0089] In the formula, R is the excavation outer diameter of the TBM;
[0090] Without considering the timely grouting and anchor reinforcement, the gap of the excavation boundary (for example, the position of the surrounding rock vault) moving to the center of the working face is:
[0091]
[0092] (S3) The unit volume gap obtained in step S1 is subjected to an integral operation in the volume domain of the actual construction gap of the large slope tunnel, the volume domain includes the space volume A surrounded by the TBM boundary circle ring advancing l (unit symbol is m) along the tunnel axis l2 and the space volume B surrounded by the boundary circle ring after the surrounding rock moves advancing l along the tunnel axis l2, and the integral results of the space volume A and the space volume B are subtracted to obtain the calculation formula of the ground stress increment of the surrounding rock along the x axis, the y axis and the z axis caused by the actual construction gap of the TBM, respectively:
[0093]
[0094]
[0095]
[0096] In order to characterize the three-dimensional spatial distribution of the stress field around the tunnel, the calculation path is selected as follows: on the one hand, a straight line l3 parallel to the large slope tunnel axis l2 is taken as the calculation path, and the radial distance r0 between the tunnel axis l2 and the straight line l3 is nR (n=2, 3, 4, …); on the other hand, a certain vertical section a is selected on the large slope tunnel axis l2, and the intersection point of the vertical section a and the tunnel axis l2 is taken as the center of the circle, and a circle (radius r0=nR, n=2, 3, 4, …) is drawn in the section a, and the hoop distribution of the stress field at different r0 is calculated.
[0097] In summary, compared with the prior art, the embodiment is based on the three-dimensional source and sink method principle and the triple integral principle, and combines the actual three-dimensional spatial position of the construction gap, so that the additional ground stress can be accurately predicted, and the embodiment has the advantages of high calculation efficiency, easy parameter value selection, conformity to engineering practice and the like.
[0098] Although the above embodiments have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the present application is not limited to the embodiments disclosed herein, but that various modifications and changes can be made thereto without departing from the scope of the application as set forth in the claims.
