Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel excavation technology. More specifically, this invention relates to a support structure for a slag collection pit in a water diversion tunnel. Background Technology
[0002] The main structure of this project is a water diversion tunnel, with a total length of 4390.945m and a tunnel diameter of D-2.0m. The tunnel also requires a maintenance shaft, 48.7m high, 5.87m long, and 5.20m wide. The shaft will contain an emergency gate (2.5m wide x 2.0m high) and a trash rack (2.5m wide x 2.0m high). This project also includes a permanent adit (No. 1 construction adit), 465.489m long. The geological conditions at the project site fall into two categories: one is lithic tuff, weakly weathered, with alteration along both sides of the joint surfaces. The rock is soft, with well-developed joints, mostly undulating and rough, with some areas being straight and rough or undulating and smooth, slightly open, filled with rock debris or mud, and the rock mass is relatively broken, forming a fragmented structure. The surrounding rock is unstable. Groundwater in the tunnel flows in a drip-to-linear pattern. The estimated normal inflow is 518m³. 3 / d, the surrounding rock category is IV. Another type of lithology is lithic tuff, weakly weathered, with alteration zones on both sides of the joint surfaces. The rock is soft, with well-developed joints, mostly undulating and smooth, slightly open to wide, locally reaching 10cm, filled with rock fragments or muddy material. The rock is broken to relatively broken, forming a fragmented to fractured structure. The surrounding rock is extremely unstable. The groundwater in the cavern flows linearly to inrush. The estimated maximum inrush volume is 1136 m³. 3 / d, the surrounding rock category is V. The saturated compressive strength of the two categories of lithic tuff weakly weathered rocks ranges from 31.2 to 84 MPa. They are soft rocks with heterogeneous rock quality and significant differences.
[0003] During tunnel excavation, blasting technology is also required. The vibration generated during blasting will further adversely affect the lining structure of the slag pit. Conventional support methods include wire mesh, shotcrete, anchor bolts, and concrete lining. To improve seismic performance, the conventional technique is to thicken the lining structure, but this increases the amount of reinforced concrete work and the lateral excavation span of the slag pit, thus increasing the construction difficulty of the tunnel excavation.

It does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
[0033] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the attached figures, the meanings of the reference numerals are as follows: 1. Advanced radial grouting layer; 2. Steel mesh layer; 3. Shotcrete layer; 4. Concrete lining; 5. Radial anchor bolt; 6. Central connection mechanism; 7. Connecting rod; 8. Tensioning component; 61. Central rod; 62. Snap-fit edge; 63. Groove; 64. Sleeve sleeve; 65. Central ring; 71. Telescopic rod body; 72. Connecting ring; 73. Connecting sleeve; 74. Rotating ring; 66. Lug; 81. Steel plate; 82. Guide cylinder; 83. Spring.
[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this invention provides a support structure for a slag collection pit in a water diversion tunnel, including an advanced radial grouting layer 1, a steel mesh layer 2, a shotcrete layer 3, a concrete lining 4, and multiple radial anchors 5. The depth of the advanced radial grouting layer 1 is greater than 2m. The radial anchors 5 are longer than 1.5m, with a spacing and row spacing of 0.6-0.8m and a diameter of 22mm. The thickness of the shotcrete layer 3 is 12cm. The advanced radial grouting layer 1, steel mesh layer 2, shotcrete layer 3, concrete lining 4, and multiple radial anchors 5 are conventional support structures in the prior art and will not be described in detail here. This solution improves the existing support structure for rock types IV and V. The purpose is to enhance resistance to the vibration effects generated during blasting when using blasting technology during tunnel excavation.
[0035] Therefore, multiple seismic connection units are set, each of which includes:
[0036] The central connecting mechanism 6 has one end abutting against the surface of the steel mesh layer 2 and the other end extending into and out of the shotcrete layer 3; the central connecting mechanism 6 can establish a connection relationship between the radial anchor 5, the shotcrete layer 3, and the concrete lining 4 to resist the arc-shaped vibration wave generated during blasting.
[0037] Multiple connecting rods 7 are provided, with one end of each connecting rod 7 hinged to the side wall of the same central connecting mechanism 6, and the other end respectively fitted onto the free sections of multiple radial anchor rods 5. Since during blasting excavation, holes are usually pre-embedded according to the pre-calculated number, diameter, location, and amount of explosives, and then ignited for blasting, the resulting shock waves are multi-point overlapping and mixed. Therefore, multiple connecting rods 7 are set to connect to the same central connecting mechanism 6 to resist the shock waves that are enhanced by multi-point overlapping and mixed.
[0038] Since the spacing and row spacing of the radial anchor bolts 5 are both 0.6 to 0.8 m, the number of connecting rods 7 located on the same central connecting mechanism 6 is preferably 4 to 6. If there are fewer than 4, although the vibration resistance is good, the construction time and cost will increase. If there are more than 6, the vibration resistance is insufficient, especially for rock types of surrounding rock categories IV and V.
[0039] The tension member 8 is fixed on one side to the portion of the central connecting mechanism 6 extending out of the shotcrete layer 3, and on the other side to the reinforcing cage within the concrete lining 4. During construction, the central connecting mechanism 6, connecting rod 7, etc., need to be installed and fixed to the reinforcing cage before concrete is poured. Since the central connecting mechanism 6, connecting rod 7, etc., are prone to displacement during concrete pouring, the tension member 8 is provided for appropriate pre-fixation and to generate a certain pre-pressure, ensuring that the central connecting mechanism 6 abuts against the steel mesh layer 2 and the reinforcing cage.
[0040] In the above technical solution, without changing the existing commonly used support structure, a seismic connection unit is added to establish a connection between the radial anchor rod 5, the shotcrete layer 3, and the concrete lining 4, in order to resist the arc-shaped seismic waves generated during blasting. Multiple connecting rods 7 are set to connect to the same central connecting mechanism 6 to resist the seismic waves that are reinforced by multiple overlapping points. By setting the seismic connection unit, the increased workload is only a simple installation operation, without the need to thicken the lining structure, that is, without increasing the amount of reinforced concrete work or the transverse excavation span of the slag pit. This significantly reduces the construction difficulty of the tunnel excavation, improves construction efficiency, and saves construction time.
[0041] In another technical solution, the central connecting mechanism 6 includes:
[0042] The center rod 61 has multiple snap-fit edges 62 spaced apart on its outer side wall, and at least one strip-shaped groove 63 is formed on the outer side wall of the center rod 61.
[0043] A pair of sleeves 64 are respectively fitted onto both ends of the central rod 61. The inner sidewall of each sleeve 64 is provided with multiple locking grooves spaced apart. At least one threaded hole is opened radially on the sidewall of each sleeve 64. The locking groove is engaged with the outside of the locking ridge 62. A bolt is screwed into the threaded hole, and the lower end of the bolt extends into the groove 63. The sleeve 64 is fitted onto the central rod 61 along the length direction of the locking ridge 62. After reaching the required length, the bolt is rotated downward along the threaded hole until the lower end of the bolt extends into the groove 63, thereby realizing the connection and fixation between the sleeve 64 and the central rod 61.
[0044] The central ring 65 is movably sleeved on the central rod 61 and located between a pair of sleeves 64.
[0045] In the above technical solution, the tunnel wall is not as smooth as the walls of ordinary furniture, and the distribution of the radial anchor bolts 5 is not as precise as the pre-calculated distances and positions, resulting in certain errors. Therefore, the connection method of the center rod 61 and the sleeve 64 is adjustable to adapt to different distances. Additionally, the center ring 65 can be adjusted to different angles.
[0046] In another technical solution, the connecting rod 7 includes:
[0047] The telescopic rod 71 has a pair of connecting rings 72 at each end, one of which is hinged to the central ring 65; the length of the telescopic rod 71 is adjustable to accommodate radial anchors 5 at different distances.
[0048] The connecting cylinder 73, which is smaller in the middle and larger at both ends, is sleeved on the free section of the radial anchor rod 5. A rotating ring 74 is movably sleeved in the middle of the connecting cylinder 73, and the rotating ring 74 is hinged to another connecting ring 72. This cylindrical sleeve design prevents the telescopic rod 71 from detaching from the radial anchor rod 5 during concrete pouring.
[0049] In another technical solution, the end of the sleeve 64 located inside the steel cage is provided with at least a pair of lugs 66, and the surface of the lugs 66 is provided with an annular groove.
[0050] The tension member 8 includes:
[0051] At least one steel plate 81 is provided with at least one pair of threaded holes. A guide cylinder 82 is provided on the surface of the steel plate 81 facing the lug 66. The guide cylinder 82 is provided with threaded holes. The lug 66 and the threaded holes are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. The steel plate 81 abuts against one or more reinforcing bars of the reinforcing cage.
[0052] At least one pair of springs 83 are sleeved inside the guide cylinder 82, and the other end of the springs 83 abuts against the annular groove.
[0053] In the above technical solution, by setting lug 66, steel plate 81, spring 83 and pre-compressing connection and fixation with the steel cage, the central connecting mechanism 6 is pre-compressed and positioned, reducing the displacement of the central connecting mechanism 6 during concrete pouring and thus affecting its vibration resistance function.
[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and illustrations shown and described herein.
