Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tunnel engineering technology, specifically relating to a lining structure and calculation method for limiting groundwater discharge in deep-buried water-rich tunnels based on ecological protection. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the construction of highways and railways has developed rapidly. The central and western regions of my country are predominantly mountainous, and as the road network continues to extend into these areas, more and more deep, long, and large mountain tunnels are being built. However, the construction of many mountain tunnels often requires traversing high-pressure, water-rich rock layers, involving numerous groundwater issues.

[0003] Regarding groundwater treatment measures, adopting a "discharge-oriented" design philosophy, allowing groundwater resources to be discharged unchecked, can easily lead to a significant drop in surface water levels, thereby threatening the ecological balance. Conversely, adopting a "blocking-oriented" groundwater treatment method can prevent the loss of groundwater resources and protect the ecological environment, but it can easily cause the lining to be unable to withstand excessive water pressure. The water resources and ecological environment of the tunnel site area and the water pressure that the lining can withstand are contradictory. How to determine a reasonable discharge limit that can both protect the ecological water level environment of the tunnel site area from damage and prevent the lining from bearing excessive water pressure is a problem that has not yet been well solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The water resources and ecological environment of the tunnel site area and the water pressure borne by the lining are contradictory. Based on this, this invention proposes a lining structure form and calculation method for limited groundwater discharge in deep-buried water-rich areas based on ecological protection. The purpose is to achieve limited discharge of groundwater in tunnels through this invention, which is a groundwater discharge method that can better balance lining pressure and ecological protection, so as to ensure the safety and reliability of the lining structure and guarantee the local ecological water demand.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] The tunnel lining structure for limited groundwater discharge is divided longitudinally into a conventional section and a discharge section. The discharge section features hollow drainage anchors connected to internal drainage channels, guiding groundwater to the tunnel drainage system. This discharge section achieves limited groundwater discharge, effectively balancing lining pressure and ecological protection. It ensures both the safety and reliability of the lining structure and guarantees local water needs for ecological purposes.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, a pressure sensor is pre-embedded on the top of the outer side of the discharge section lining structure to calculate the actual groundwater head height at the top of the lining structure based on the water pressure.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the hollow drainage anchor bolt is equipped with a control valve.

[0009] As a preferred option, the lining structure of the emission section adopts steel shell stiffening plates.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the drainage system includes a central drainage ditch located at the bottom of the tunnel arch, and the drainage channel inside the lining structure is connected to the central drainage ditch through a transverse drainage pipe.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the drainage system includes a water storage chamber located at the bottom of the tunnel arch, which is connected to a transverse drainage pipe.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the water storage chamber is provided with a water intake well cover.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the water storage chamber is located on both sides of the central drainage ditch.

[0014] The calculation method for limited groundwater discharge in tunnels adopts the aforementioned tunnel groundwater limited discharge lining structure, wherein the calculation method for the discharge time of the air-vented anchor bolts is as follows:

[0015]

[0016] In the formula, t is the water discharge time of the hollow drainage anchor bolt;

[0017] h s The actual water head height of the groundwater at the top of the lining structure, calculated based on pressure sensors;

[0018] h0 is the expected groundwater head height determined by combining ecological environment requirements and lining bearing capacity;

[0019] h m The height of groundwater head discharged per unit time by a hollow drainage anchor bolt;

[0020] n represents the number of hollow drainage anchor bolts in operation.

[0021] As a preferred option, such as the current season's h w h c When h0 takes h c ; such as the current season's h w <h c When h0 takes h w ;

[0022] h w This is the groundwater head height required for normal plant growth in the tunnel site area;

[0023] h c The groundwater head height is the maximum bearing capacity of the lining.

[0024] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: The present invention proposes a limited discharge lining structure form and calculation method for deep-buried water-rich tunnels based on ecological protection. Through an innovative active sensing control device for the lining structure, it can better balance the lining pressure and the groundwater discharge method for ecological protection, so as to achieve both structural safety and reliability and ensure the local ecological water demand.
