Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of long and large tunnel engineering, and in particular to a long and large tunnel full-process mechanized synchronous construction method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current construction methods of long and large tunnels in China mainly include the drill and blast method and the TBM tunnel boring machine method, wherein the two methods have the following disadvantages:

[0003] (1) Disadvantages of the drill and blast method: ① The disturbance and damage to surrounding rock are large, and tunnel overbreak and underbreak are inevitable, which not only affects the engineering quality, safety and progress of the tunnel construction, but also affects the economic benefits. ② There are many safety hazards in the drilling and blasting process, and tunnel blasting operations may cause ground subsidence, causing surrounding buildings to crack or collapse. ③ There are many workers, poor working environment, and high labor intensity of workers, and the probability of safety accidents is high. ④ Long and large tunnels often take measures such as multiple auxiliary adits, which easily damage the ecological environment and are not conducive to environmental protection. ⑤ The construction efficiency is low. ⑥ The ventilation effect is poor in the head excavation. The high-altitude tunnel has the characteristics of "high altitude, high ground stress, low temperature, low air pressure, and low oxygen", and the low ventilation efficiency, oxygen deficiency of construction personnel, and high content of toxic and harmful gases emitted by internal combustion engines during the construction stage cause poor working environment in the tunnel, greatly affecting the health of construction personnel and threatening personal safety. ⑦ The amount of fissure water in the tunnel bedrock is large, and the risk of reverse slope drainage is large, which endangers the safety of workers and equipment.

[0004] (2) Disadvantages of the TBM tunnel boring machine: ① Poor adaptability to strata. Mainly manifested in encountering faults, fracture zones, extrusion zones, water inrush and hard rock and other unfavorable strata. In recent years, a shield shell protection type boring machine has been adopted, which can excavate in soft and variable strata and also can excavate in medium-hard rock strata. ② High equipment and excavation cost. The boring machine structure is complex, and the durability of materials and parts is high, so the manufacturing price is high. ③ The excavation section is single, mainly circular. Only suitable for tunnels with the same diameter, and the versatility is low when using full section. The circular section has a larger limit waste than the horseshoe-shaped tunnel inner contour. ④ The procurement cycle of TBM equipment is long, and the auxiliary construction supporting system is complex, so it is difficult to play its advantages for short tunnels and medium and long tunnels. ⑤ TBM has requirements for construction site and transportation scheme.
