[0041] B. When excavating to one side line of the confluence area with another large tunnel 2 with a large excavation section size, continue to excavate the half-width A of the small tunnel 1 along the depth direction of the small tunnel 1 in the confluence area, and at the same time gradually expand the excavation area of the half-width A where the small tunnel 1 and the large tunnel 2 meet at an obtuse angle until excavating to the other side line of the confluence area with the large tunnel 2.

[0045] F. After step E has been carried out for 15 m, in the confluence area, remove the temporary support structure, and then starting from the part where the excavation area of the small tunnel 1 is gradually expanded, respectively along the depth direction of the large tunnel 2, excavate the large tunnel in the reverse direction according to a predetermined size while excavating, and carry out the initial support of the large tunnel 2 while excavating.

[0046] In step B, the gradual expansion of the excavation area of the half-width A means that the top and side wall parts of the half-width A are gradually extended outward along the depth direction of the large tunnel 2 towards the outside of the small tunnel 1, and the extended side wall part forms an angle of 45 degrees with the side wall part in the normal depth direction of the small tunnel 1.

[0047] In step C, the gradually expanding excavation area is symmetrically opposite to the gradually expanding excavation area of half-width A in step B with respect to the center line X of the small tunnel 1.

[0048] In steps B and C, in order to eliminate the influence brought by stress concentration, arc trimming treatment is carried out on the confluence part where the extended side wall part and the side wall part in the normal depth direction of the small tunnel 1 form an angle, and the radian is 3π / 4.

[0049] In step D, the temporary support structure is composed of multiple detachable and assembled steel frame structures, which are processed from I-beams. The top of the steel frame structure is adaptively expanded according to the height and width of the tunnel top in the confluence area; the component parts of the steel frame structure are connected by mortise and tenon joints to achieve convenient and stable connection, and the connection between multiple steel frame structures adopts a strengthening structure.

[0050] During the excavation process, the pre-grouting process is used to reinforce the excavated small tunnel 1 and large tunnel 2; the radial spacing of each grouting pipe is kept at 2 m, and the cross-section of the overall grouting pipe is arranged in a regular hexagon; and the excavation footage and support plan are determined through numerical analysis simulation.

[0051] In order to further improve the technical effect of the present invention, in this embodiment, the steel frame structures are evenly spaced according to the space size of the confluence area and are formed by stamping, and its overall structure conforms to the space form in the confluence area. Connection strengthening members are arranged at the joints of the component parts of the steel frame structure, and the connection strengthening members and the component parts are fastened together by bolts.

[0052] In this embodiment, in view of the influence brought by stress concentration generated after the side walls of different tunnels in the structure conversion area are confluent, special arc trimming treatment is taken. In addition to the aforementioned arc treatment for the tunnel side walls, the following measures are also taken for the arc trimming treatment:

[0053] a. After the arc treatment is carried out on the confluence part where the extended side wall part and the side wall part in the normal depth direction of the small tunnel 1 form an angle, prestressed anchor rods are evenly drilled to half of the preset depth in the entire area of the treatment position, and a metal grid is anchored on the surface of the treatment position to completely cover the surface of the treatment position;

[0054] b. Continue to drill the prestressed anchor rods until the preset depth is reached; a second layer of metal grid is anchored again on the surface of the above-mentioned metal grid;

[0055] c. A plurality of grouting holes and pressure-relieving anchor cable holes are evenly drilled around the prestressed anchor rods in the treatment position, and prestressed pressure-relieving anchor cables are installed; the orifices of the grouting holes are temporarily blocked;

[0056] d. Spray shotcrete on the entire surface area of the treatment location to evenly distribute the tunnel's underlying load on the above-mentioned structure and avoid stress concentration.

[0057] e. Remove the temporary plugging of the grouting holes and carry out closed grouting reinforcement; then spray shotcrete again on the entire surface area of the treatment location to seal the grouting holes.

[0058] The above-mentioned arc trimming treatment utilizes the change in structural form and the coordinated cooperation of rock bolts, grouting, metal grids, yielding anchor cables, and shotcrete to cause appropriate and controllable expansion of deep formation fissures, transfer the stress concentration area to deeper depths, and then strengthen it to achieve the coupling of the formation and the strengthening treatment, eliminate the influence brought by stress concentration, enable the structure in this area to have the characteristics of adapting to long-term tunnel deformation and wide failure range, and improve the ability to jointly resist formation deformation.

[0061] A. Excavate the small tunnel 1 with a small excavation section size according to the predetermined dimensions, and carry out the initial support of the small tunnel 1 while excavating.

[0062] B. When excavating to one side edge of the convergence area with the large tunnel 2 having a large excavation section size, continue to excavate the half-width A of the small tunnel 1 in the depth direction of the small tunnel 1 in the convergence area, and at the same time gradually expand the excavation area of the half-width A where the small tunnel 1 converges with the large tunnel 2 at an obtuse angle until excavating to the other side edge of the convergence area with the large tunnel 2.

[0063] C. In the convergence area, starting from the other side edge of the large tunnel 2, excavate the other half-width of the small tunnel in the direction opposite to the above excavation direction of the small tunnel 1, and at the same time gradually expand the excavation area until excavating to the said one side edge of the large tunnel 2.

[0064] D. Carry out the initial support for the top excavation part of the small tunnel 1 in the convergence area, and use a temporary support structure to temporarily support the top and side wall parts of the small tunnel 1 in the convergence area.

After step E has advanced 13 meters, within the confluence area, remove the temporary support structure, and then starting from the gradually expanding excavation area part of the small tunnel 1, respectively along the longitudinal direction of the large tunnel 2, simultaneously and reversely excavate the large tunnel according to a predetermined size, and carry out the initial support of the large tunnel 2 while excavating.

[0067] In step B, the gradually expanding excavation area of the half-width A means that the top and side wall parts of the half-width A are gradually extended outward along the longitudinal direction of the large tunnel 2 to the outside of the small tunnel 1, and the extended side wall part forms an angle of 50 degrees with the side wall part in the normal longitudinal direction of the small tunnel 1.
