Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of TBM advanced curtain grouting, and in particular relates to a TBM advanced curtain grouting process. Background Art

[0002] TBM, or tunnel boring machine, is divided into open tunnel boring machines and shield tunnel boring machines. The construction processes such as excavation, support, and slag discharge are carried out in parallel and continuously. It is a factory-based assembly line tunnel construction equipment that integrates mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, optical, and gas systems. It has the advantages of fast excavation speed, environmental protection, and high comprehensive benefits. It can realize the construction of deep-buried long tunnels in complex geographical features that are difficult to achieve with traditional drilling and blasting methods.

[0003] When a tunnel boring machine enters a high-pressure water-rich tunnel section for construction, sudden water gushing may occur at the heading face at any time. Advance grouting must be carried out to block water before safe excavation can be carried out. The reserved positions for advance drilling of existing measures are around the front shield and the tail shield, and the hole is inclined outward at an angle of about 7°. Since the advance drilling of the front shield requires the installation of a drilling rig on the telescopic shield, the telescopic shield space is occupied by the main engine beam and the main push cylinder, and the drilling rig cannot be installed. The diffusion angle of the tail shield is too large, and the advance drilling cannot block the groundwater that is infiltrated by external water, making it impossible for the tunnel boring machine to operate normally, which greatly increases the construction difficulty of the tunnel boring machine and reduces the construction efficiency of the tunnel boring machine.

A TBM advanced curtain grouting process according to claim 1, characterized in that: The method of using a funnel to fill concrete into the expanded groove, and when the expanded groove is filled, using a vibrating rod to assist in filling and continue to fill concrete until the concrete in the groove is filled densely and the filling port is closed before setting, also includes the following steps: S31: Use an impact drill to drill two rows of holes with a spacing of 100mm and a diameter of 20mm at an interval of 500mm in the slot. The holes are 100mm deep and arranged in a plum blossom shape. M16×140 expansion bolts are installed in the holes. The exposed parts of the bolts are wrapped with 12# lead wire and two 500mm lead wires are led out. S32: Use the reinforcement to position the drainage pipe at the height of the crack inside the groove, with an interval of 1000mm. Use hemp thread to plug the front 100mm of the pipe tightly against the groove wall, and use the lead wire led out of the expansion screw to tie and fix the hemp thread; S33: Pass the tail of the drain pipe through a 3mm thick steel plate to expose the butterfly valve.

3. A TBM advanced curtain grouting process according to claim 1, characterized in that: The dimensions of the rectangular groove are 150 mm in width and 400 mm in depth.

4. A TBM advanced curtain grouting process according to claim 1, characterized in that: The drain pipe is made of a DN20 steel pipe, the drain pipe is 500 mm long, the water inlet hole is located 100 mm from the front end of the drain pipe, and the specifications of the water inlet hole are a hole diameter of 12 mm and a hole spacing of 30 mm.

5. The TBM advanced curtain grouting process according to claim 1, characterized in that: The grouting plug has a total length of 1 m, a capsule part of 0.6 m in length, and a diameter of 32 to 89 mm.

6. A TBM advanced curtain grouting process according to claim 1, characterized in that: The grouting material is a mixture of cement and water glass, the volume ratio of the cement slurry to the water glass is 1:1, and the mass ratio of the cement slurry to the water glass is 1:

7. A TBM advanced curtain grouting process according to claim 1, characterized in that: The method uses the same bag-type high-pressure grouting plug as the shallow grouting. The grouting plug is placed 2m inside the hole, and a sufficiently long high-pressure water pipe is provided to extend to the hand pump outside the hole. A special valve is provided, and water is injected into the capsule. The water pressure makes the capsule swell and adhere to the hole wall. After that, the valve at the interface of the water injection high-pressure pipe can be closed to maintain the pressure of the grouting plug capsule. The hand pump is removed, and a special high-pressure valve is installed at the grouting pipe mouth. The high-pressure grouting pipe is connected to start grouting. Before waiting for the grouting to end, the following steps are also included: S101: Drill a hole in the center of the face, install the central rotation axis of the column frame, and add a drilling rig symmetrically on the column frame. When changing holes, just retract the upper and lower cylinders of the column frame to rotate the column frame to a specified angle, then extend the cylinders, fix the column frame, and slide the drilling rig platform up and down along the column frame to simultaneously position two drilling rigs for drilling.

8. The TBM advanced curtain grouting process according to claim 1, characterized in that: The method uses the same bag-type water-injected high-pressure grouting plug as the shallow grouting. The grouting plug is placed 2m inside the hole, and a sufficiently long high-pressure water pipe is configured to extend to a hand pump outside the hole. A special valve is configured, and water is injected into the capsule. The water pressure causes the capsule to swell and fit closely to the hole wall. After that, the valve at the interface of the water injection high-pressure pipe can be closed to maintain the pressure of the grouting plug capsule. The hand pump is removed, a special high-pressure valve is installed at the grouting pipe outlet, and the high-pressure grouting pipe is connected to start grouting. After waiting for the grouting to be completed, the following steps are also included: S102: When the grouting is finished, close the valve and wait for solidification for 12 hours, open the grouting valve to check whether the slurry is solidified, open the high-pressure water injection pipe interface valve on the capsule bag, and the capsule can be taken out and reused after the pressure is released.

9. The TBM advanced curtain grouting process according to claim 1, characterized in that: The shallow grouting method further includes the following steps before achieving the purpose of blocking water in surface fissures: S71: The holes are arranged at an interval of 1m in the trench, and the number of shallow water-blocking holes is 45 in total. The maximum grouting pressure is 3.5Mpa based on the maximum head pressure of 350m at the groundwater level. The grouting pressure is 1.5 times greater than the groundwater pressure. The planned maximum grouting pressure is 3.5*1.5=5.25Mpa.

10. The TBM advanced curtain grouting process according to claim 1, characterized in that: The method of passing the tail of the drainage pipe through the 3mm thick steel plate to expose the butterfly valve also includes the following steps: S34: The steel plate is 300mm wide and covers the expansion groove. The edge is fastened to the rock surface with M16×140 expansion bolts at intervals of 500mm. A 70×200 high concrete feeding port is reserved in the upper half of the expansion groove at a spacing of 1m along the covering steel plate.
