Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel engineering, and particularly relates to a grouting blocking method for heat conduction fracture insulation reinforcement of tunnels and a grouting pipe. Background Art
[0002] For railways passing through the Hengduan Mountains, the tunnel has a large buried depth and active geological movements, and often encounters the problem of heat conduction fractures (layers) with high geotemperature. The rock temperature of the tunnel reaches 40°C to 60°C. The tunnel passes through three heat conduction fractures (layers), and the local hot water gushing temperature is as high as 60°C. If no reinforcement and heat insulation measures are taken, the tunnel may not be able to be built and become an abandoned project.
[0003] For high geotemperature tunnels with a rock temperature less than 40°C, during construction, heat insulation and cooling design schemes are often adopted, mainly including high-power ventilation and heat insulation lining structure design. Among them, high-power ventilation needs to be maintained for a long time, with high energy consumption and relatively low cooling efficiency; the lining structure design adopts measures such as increasing the lining thickness and adding heat insulation layers, which are one-time investments, but the excavation area is large, and the final effective net space is small, and the comprehensive cost of construction and materials is very high. For heat conduction fractures (layers) with a rock temperature higher than 40°C and hot water gushing at 60°C in the crossing section, if the above methods are adopted, the cost is even higher. Therefore, in the tunnel construction in high geothermal areas, a permanent construction scheme with good heat insulation effect and low cost is needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a grouting blocking method for heat conduction fracture insulation reinforcement of tunnels and a grouting pipe, which can form a permanent heat insulation cylinder layer surrounding the tunnel during the curtain grouting construction process in high geothermal areas, realizing the dual functions of reinforcement and heat insulation, with good heat insulation effect; and there is no need to increase the lining thickness or add a heat insulation layer, reducing the cost.

[0031] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.
[0032] The heat insulation reinforcement grouting blocking method for tunnel heat conduction fracture of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0033] Step 1. The heat insulation reinforcement grouting blocking method for the heat conduction fracture layer of high geothermal tunnels is characterized in that the method includes the following steps:
[0034] Step 1. Construct the grout stop wall 3: Determine the reinforcement range and heat insulation range, wherein the heat insulation range surrounds the reinforcement range. The reinforcement range is calculated based on the initial and final values of the surrounding rock mechanical parameters so that the surrounding rock can reach structural stability. Measure the initial thermal conductivity of the surrounding rock, and calculate the thermal conductivity after reinforcement, determine the heat dissipation of the surrounding rock after reinforcement. When there is no heat insulation range set, calculate the heat conduction to the tunnel internal environment temperature. According to the tunnel construction requirements, there is a temperature design value for the tunnel construction environment, then the required heat insulation range can be calculated.
[0035] Construct the grout stop wall 3 in front of the heading face, and the outer contour of the grout stop wall 3 is located outside the tunnel excavation contour line; wherein, the distance between the outer contour line and the excavation contour line is 3 - 5m, and the area between the outer contour line and the excavation contour line is used as the area for constructing the heat insulation grouting hole 2.
[0036] The radial area of the grout stop wall is large, and multiple holes are drilled in the grout stop wall later. To improve the tensile and flexural strength of the grout stop wall and avoid its own cracking during drilling. A steel mesh is arranged in the grout stop wall 3, and the steel mesh is parallel to the heading face, and the grout stop wall is constructed by pouring fine-grained concrete and vibrated thoroughly.
[0037] During grouting, first carry out cement-based material reinforcement grouting, and then carry out heat insulation material grouting to avoid injecting heat insulation materials with poor strength into the reinforcement area, reducing the strength of the surrounding rock in the reinforcement area and affecting the excavation safety.
[0038] Step 2: Reinforcement curtain grouting: On the grout stop wall 3 and within the tunnel excavation contour line, construction of reinforcement grouting holes 1 is carried out, and the end holes are located in the reinforcement area, that is, surrounding the tunnel curtain for one week. Cement-based grouting materials are injected into the surrounding rock through the reinforcement grouting holes 1 to play the role of reinforcing the surrounding rock. There are multiple reinforcement grouting holes 1. The specific settings are as follows: They are set in the area within the excavation contour line and are located on multiple circumferences spaced in the radial direction with the tunnel axis as the center. There are multiple reinforcement grouting holes 1 on the same circumference and they are arranged at intervals. As Figure 1 shown, specifically, the number and diameter of the reinforcement grouting holes 1 are both calculated according to the characteristics of the surrounding rock and the ultimately achieved reinforcement strength. After grouting reinforcement, the mechanical properties of the surrounding rock are improved to ensure the safety of the excavation construction.
[0039] Step 3: Construction of heat insulation grouting holes (2): On the grout stop wall 3 and outside the tunnel excavation contour line, construction of heat insulation grouting holes 2 is carried out. Grouting pipes are inserted into the heat insulation grouting holes 2. Multiple heat insulation grouting holes 2 are set in the area outside the excavation contour line and are located on multiple circumferences spaced in the radial direction with the tunnel axis as the center. There are multiple heat insulation grouting holes 2 on the same circumference and they are arranged at intervals.
[0040] As Figure 2 、 3 and Figure 4 show, the present invention also discloses a grouting pipe used in the method for heat conduction fracture heat insulation reinforcement grouting interruption in tunnels. The grouting pipe includes: a pipe head 21, a pipe body 22,, an inner pipe 25 and a bubble refiner 26. The pipe head (21), the pipe body (22), the joint (23) and the pipe tail (24) are all made of PVC material.
[0041] Among them:
[0042] The pipe body 22 is a pipe body, which is composed of multiple pipe segments connected in sequence. External threads are provided at the ends of each segment; the segments are connected by a joint 23. The joint is a pipe body with internal threads provided at both ends and is threadedly connected to the pipe segments at both ends. The pipe body 22 is arranged in the heat insulation grouting hole 2 until the bottom, and the end inserted into the heat insulation grouting hole 2 is the front end; the pipe head 21 is installed at the front end of the pipe body 22 and is a frustum-shaped shell with a small head at the front end and a large head at the rear end, and the front end is an open shape. An opening is coaxially provided on the rear end shell with the front end; the size of the opening is the same as the size of the front end opening; a bubble refiner 26 is coaxially arranged in the pipe head 21. The bubble refiner 26 is a cylindrical bubble stone with openings at both the front and the rear. The front and rear ends of the cylinder are closely attached to the pipe head 21. A variable-diameter annular channel is formed between the bubble refiner 26 and the pipe head 21.
[0043] The inner tube 25 is inserted into the tube body 22 and placed against the inner wall on one side of the tube body 22; it is inserted into the tube body 22 and against the inner side within the tube body 22; its front end is located within the annular channel, and the inner tube 25 is used to introduce gas into the annular channel; the diameter of the inner tube 25 is 3 - 5 mm, so that the amount of gas flowing out from the front end is suitable for pumping the slurry and keeps the flowing gas at a certain pressure. Specifically, a through hole can be axially opened on the rear housing of the tube head 21 so that the front end of the inner tube 25 penetrates into the annular channel. The tube tail 24 is a tubular housing with both ends open and is threadedly installed at the rear end of the tube body 22. A through hole is opened on the housing of the tube tail 24, and the through hole is for the entrance where the inner tube 25 penetrates into the tube body 22.
[0044] Step Four: Heat-insulating curtain grouting: Use composite chemical slurry for grouting. The slurry is made by mixing polyurethane, epoxy resin, and surfactant in a ratio of 9.5:1:0.5, with good fluidity and large surface tension. Inject the composite chemical slurry into the tube body 22 from the rear end of the tube tail 24 and flow to the bubble refiner 26; meanwhile, pump air into the rear end of the inner tube 25, enter the annular channel, and be refined into tiny bubbles by the bubble refiner 26 at the front end, and mix into the composite chemical slurry flowing to the bubble refiner 26 to form a composite chemical slurry saturated with bubbles. Then it continues to flow and flows out from the front end of the tube head 21 and is injected into the surrounding rock. After solidification, the slurry forms a slurry body with closed bubbles inside. Eventually, a structure of an outer cylindrical heat-insulating layer surrounding and reinforcing layer is formed within the surrounding rock, achieving the dual functions of reinforcement and heat insulation. Due to the presence of bubbles, it plays a role in storing gas and preventing rapid heat conduction. Coupled with the fact that the selected composite chemical slurry itself is a material with heat-insulating properties, the heat-insulating effect is better after solidification within the surrounding rock.
[0045] Inject composite chemical slurry for grouting within the surrounding rock, combine with the surrounding rock to form a structure of a heat-insulating layer surrounding and reinforcing layer, without the need for additional construction to add a thermal insulation layer, nor the need to increase the thickness of the lining. Moreover, during the tunnel construction process, high-power ventilation is not required, reducing the construction cost.
