Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel engineering technology, specifically to a method for supporting small-section tunnel collapses with double rigid support. Background Technology
[0002] Current research on tunnel collapse management and support primarily focuses on large-section tunnels, with fewer targeted methods for managing collapses in small-section tunnels. The collapse problem in small-section tunnels differs from that in large-section tunnels. Due to their smaller cross-sectional area, a collapse in a small-section tunnel can result in the complete destruction of all pre-excavation support measures, such as arch collapse, anchor bolt bending and breakage, and large-scale damage to shotcrete. This can lead to the entire tunnel face being buried in the collapsed rubble, posing a serious threat to the lives of construction workers and severely impacting project progress. Compared to larger-section tunnels, small-section tunnel collapses are characterized by rapid development and destruction. Essentially, all previous excavation and support work on the entire section will be rendered useless and must be restarted. Therefore, it is necessary to research effective, efficient, and targeted support methods for collapse-prone sections of small-section tunnels.
[0003] Current collapse support methods mainly include grouting reinforcement, advanced small guide pipes, and pipe roof support. However, in actual construction, these methods still suffer from drawbacks such as low grout injection efficiency, failure to inject grout on schedule, and outflow through grouting holes, resulting in unsatisfactory support effects. Previous studies have also used methods to control the grouting sequence and pressure, but due to the inconsistent distribution of rock fissures and other indicators in tunnels with different surrounding rock conditions, the effective diffusion range of the grout is unknown. Furthermore, the grouting pressure and sequence require repeated trials to achieve relatively good results, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In the construction of small-section tunnels, due to the small tunnel cross-section, limited operating space, and fractured surrounding rock when crossing fractured zones, on-site workers are at risk of collapse at any time. It is necessary to carry out construction as quickly as possible while ensuring project quality. Therefore, the above methods are not applicable to small-section tunnels. To address this, a double rigid support method for small-section tunnel collapse support is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for supporting small-section tunnels with double rigid support in case of collapse. Addressing the deficiencies of existing technologies and their inapplicability to the support methods and construction concepts for small-section tunnels, this application effectively solves the problems of poor grouting effect, high support difficulty, and collapse risk during arch erection in small-section tunnels located in collapse areas.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for supporting small-section tunnel collapses with double rigid support, wherein the structure implementing the support includes cement mortar system anchor bolts, grouting pipe guides, concrete, pre-drilled holes for advanced small guide pipes, steel arch frames, cement mortar anchor bolts, threaded steel bars, tunnel steel arch frames, shotcrete grout-stopping curtains, tunnel face, and reinforcing bars, and the method includes the following steps:
[0008] A1. Initial support;
[0009] A2. Composition of advanced small guide tubes: Advanced small guide tubes formed by the combination and nesting of grouting pipe guide tubes and steel bars are driven into the reserved holes of advanced small guide tubes.

[0011] A4. Install grouting pipes;
[0012] A5. Closed working face;
[0013] A6. Support and sealing;
[0014] A7. Complete the second layer of "rigid support" by performing grouting through the grouting pipe in step A4;
[0015] A8. Proceed with the next cycle of excavation.
[0016] Preferably, as described in step A1, after the cross-section excavation is completed, cement mortar system anchors and steel arches are installed inside the tunnel steel arch for conventional initial support.
[0017] Initial support includes steel arch frames, steel mesh, and system anchor bolts;
[0018] The steel arch frame is made of I16 steel, and the steel bars are connected at a spacing of 0.5m, with a row spacing of 0.5×0.5m.
[0019] The steel arch frame is connected to the cement mortar anchor rod by welding. The cement mortar anchor rod is HRB400φ22M20 with L=2.5m.
[0020] The parameters of the cement mortar system anchor rods are HRB400φ22M20, L=3.5m, and they are arranged in a quincunx pattern with a spacing of 50×100cm.
[0021] Preferably, as proposed in step A2, an advanced small guide tube, which is formed by the combination and nesting of the grouting pipe guide tube and the reinforcing bar, is driven into the reserved hole of the advanced small guide tube, wherein the connection method between the grouting pipe guide tube and the reinforcing bar is spot welding, the diameter of the grouting pipe guide tube is φ42, and the diameter of the reinforcing bar is φ22.
[0022] Preferably, as proposed in step A3, the nested advanced small guide tubes installed in step A2 are circumferentially connected by threaded steel bars, and the connection method is welding. This completes the first layer of "rigid support". The diameter of the threaded steel bars is φ16.
[0023] Preferably, as proposed in step A5, shotcrete is applied to the area above the arch line of the tunnel face. The concrete type is C25, the thickness is 18cm, and it is overlapped with a steel mesh of type HPB300φ8 with a mesh size of 20×20cm. After sealing, a layer of shotcrete-stopping curtain will be formed on the surface of the tunnel face.
[0024] Preferably, the initial support that has been implemented is sealed, as proposed in step A6.
[0025] Preferably, as proposed in A7, grouting is performed through the grouting pipe in step A4 to complete the grouting reinforcement as a second layer of "rigid support".
[0026] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a method for supporting small-section tunnel collapses with double rigid support, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] 1. Due to the adoption of the pre-embedded small guide pipe + steel bar nested combination, and the use of threaded steel bars for circumferential connection between the nested pre-embedded small guide pipes, an arch-shaped protection is formed at the tunnel arch, which plays the role of load-bearing arch and effectively prevents the intrusion of collapse and falling rocks into the tunnel cross-section clearance.
[0029] 2. A row of circumferential advanced small guide pipes was installed below the load-bearing arch for grouting, forming a "double rigid support" support combination system together with the load-bearing arch, which optimized the reinforcement effect;
[0030] 3. By using shotcrete to spray concrete on the part above the arch line of the tunnel face, a layer of shotcrete-stopping curtain will be formed on the surface of the sealed tunnel face. This prevents the grout from flowing out of the borehole of the advance guide pipe, making more efficient use of the grout and effectively preventing poor reinforcement effect caused by grout overflow and leakage. This saves construction costs and improves construction efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

The method includes the following steps:
[0040] A1. Initial support;
[0041] A2. Composition of the advanced small guide tube: An advanced small guide tube formed by the combination and nesting of the grouting pipe guide tube 2 and the steel bar 11 is driven into the reserved hole 4 of the advanced small guide tube.
[0042] A3. Complete the first layer of "rigid support" by using threaded steel bar 7 to circumferentially connect the nested advanced small guide tubes installed in step A2.
[0043] A4. Implement grouting pipe guide 2;
[0044] A5. Closed working face;
[0045] A6. Support and sealing;
[0046] A7. Complete the second layer of "rigid support" by performing grouting through the grouting pipe 2 in step A4;
[0047] A8. Proceed with the next cycle of excavation.
[0048] Furthermore, as described in step A1, after the cross-section excavation is completed, cement mortar system anchor bolts 1 and steel arch frame 5 are installed inside the tunnel steel arch frame 8 for conventional initial support.
[0049] 5. Initial support including steel arch frame, steel mesh, and system anchor bolts;
[0050] Among them, the steel arch frame 5 is made of I16 steel, and the steel bars are connected at a spacing of 0.5m with a row spacing of 0.5×0.5m.
[0051] The steel arch frame 5 is connected to the cement mortar anchor rod 6 by welding. The cement mortar anchor rod 6 is HRB400φ22M20 with L=2.5m.
[0052] The parameters of anchor rod 1 in the cement mortar system are HRB400φ22M20, L=3.5m, and it is arranged in a quincunx pattern with a spacing of 50×100cm.
[0053] Furthermore, as proposed in step A2, a [material / material] is inserted into the pre-drilled hole 4 of the advanced small catheter. Figure 3 The grouting pipe 2 and the reinforcing bar 11 are nested together to form a pre-embedded small guide tube. The connection between the grouting pipe 2 and the reinforcing bar 11 is spot welded. The diameter of the grouting pipe 2 is φ42, and the diameter of the reinforcing bar 11 is φ22. To better understand the appearance and nesting form of the nested pre-embedded small guide tube, a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the specific nested pre-embedded small guide tube is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.
[0054] Furthermore, as proposed in step A3, the nested pre-conduit pipes installed in step A2 are circumferentially connected using threaded steel bar 7 via welding. This completes the first layer of "rigid support." The diameter of threaded steel bar 7 is φ16. A detailed connection diagram of the load-bearing arch is shown below. Figure 5 As shown.
[0055] Furthermore, perform Figure 1 Grouting pipe guide 2 in the middle,
[0056] Furthermore, as proposed in step A5, sprayed concrete 3 is applied to the portion of the face 10 above the arch line. The concrete 3 is of type C25 and has a thickness of 18cm. It is overlapped with a steel mesh of type HPB300φ8 with a mesh size of 20×20cm. After sealing, a layer of sprayed concrete stop curtain 9 will be formed on the surface of the face 10.
[0057] Furthermore, as proposed in step A6, the initial support that has been implemented is sealed.
[0058] Furthermore, as proposed in A7, grouting is carried out through the grouting pipe 2 in step A4 to complete the grouting reinforcement as a second layer of "rigid support".
[0059] The working principle of this device is as follows:
[0060] Because of the use of a nested combination of advanced small guide pipes and steel bars 11, and the use of threaded steel bars 7 for circumferential connection between the nested advanced small guide pipes, an arch-shaped protection is formed at the top of the tunnel, which plays the role of a load-bearing arch and effectively prevents the intrusion of landslides and falling rocks into the tunnel cross-section clearance.
[0061] A row of circumferentially advanced small guide pipes was installed below the load-bearing arch for grouting, forming a "double rigid support" support combination system together with the load-bearing arch, which optimized the reinforcement effect;
[0062] By using shotcrete 3 to spray concrete 3 on the part above the arch line of the tunnel face 10, a layer of shotcrete-stopping curtain 9 will be formed on the surface of the sealed tunnel face 10. This prevents the grout from flowing out of the borehole of the advance guide pipe, making more efficient use of the grout. It effectively prevents poor reinforcement effect caused by grout overflow and leakage, saves construction costs and improves construction efficiency.
