[0030] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] The present invention provides a method for calculating the collapsibility of loess at the tunnel base. By using a numerical model to simulate tunnel excavation, a stress ratio curve is obtained and a pressure calculation model is established. According to the pressure calculation model and Flamant's solution, the actual stress values at each position are calculated, and the collapsibility of loess is obtained based on the actual stress values. The construction is guided according to the collapsibility of loess, solving the problem that the design and construction according to the current loess specification are unreasonable. By providing a calculation method for loess collapsibility that can adapt to different working conditions, a more valuable reference system is provided for construction, making the construction plan more reasonable and ensuring construction quality and efficiency. The method for calculating the collapsibility of loess at the tunnel base of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of the pressure calculation model in the method for calculating the collapsibility of loess at the tunnel base of the present invention. The method for calculating the collapsibility of loess at the tunnel base of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with Figure 1 to illustrate the method for calculating the collapsibility of loess at the tunnel base of the present invention.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a method for calculating the collapsibility of loess at the tunnel base, including the following steps:

[0034] Establish a numerical model for the tunnel to be constructed, and use the numerical model to simulate tunnel excavation to obtain the vertical stresses at each position along the tunnel base;

[0035] Calculate the ratio of the vertical stress at each position to the initial vertical stress at the corresponding position, and obtain the relationship curve between each position and the corresponding vertical stress ratio. Normalize the relationship curve to obtain the stress ratio curve of the vertical section of the tunnel;

[0036] Establish a pressure calculation model according to the stress ratio curve, calculate the actual stress values at each position according to the pressure calculation model and Flamant's solution, and obtain the collapsibility of loess based on the actual stress values.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when normalizing the relationship curve, it further includes:

[0038] Divide the abscissa value of the relationship curve by half of the width of the tunnel cross-section to obtain the stress ratio curve, so as to show the stress ratios at each position point at the base of the vertical section of the tunnel.

[0039] Furthermore, it further includes:

[0040] Define the part where the vertical stress ratio in the stress ratio curve is less than 1 and the vertical stress ratio gradually increases as Zone I, the part where the vertical stress ratio in the stress ratio curve is greater than or equal to 1 and the vertical stress ratio gradually increases as Zone II, the part where the vertical stress ratio in the stress ratio curve is greater than or equal to 1 and the vertical stress ratio gradually decreases as Zone III, and the part where the vertical stress ratio in the stress ratio curve is equal to 1 and the vertical stress ratio no longer changes as Zone IV;

[0041] According to Flamant's solution, obtain the expressions corresponding to Zone I, Zone II, Zone III, and Zone IV, and establish a pressure calculation model based on the expressions.

[0042] Specifically, it also includes:

[0043] Take the position point at the center line representing the tunnel base in the stress ratio curve as the characteristic point m, take the position point with the maximum vertical stress ratio value in the stress ratio curve as the characteristic point o, and obtain the vertical stress ratios of the characteristic point m and the characteristic point o;

[0044] According to the vertical stress ratios of the characteristic point m and the characteristic point o and the pressure calculation model, obtain the actual pressure values of each position point of the tunnel base.

[0045] Preferably, the value range of the vertical stress ratio of the characteristic point m is (0.36, 0.54), and the value range of the vertical stress ratio of the characteristic point o is (1.10, 1.18). If the tunnel construction has less disturbance to the base, smaller values can be used; if the tunnel construction has greater disturbance to the base, larger values can be used.

[0046] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0047] Take the position point where the vertical stress ratio is 1 in the part where the vertical stress ratio in the stress ratio curve gradually increases as the characteristic point n, and use the pressure calculation model to obtain the actual stress values of the characteristic point m and the characteristic point n.

[0048] Furthermore, when using the pressure calculation model to calculate the actual pressure value, it also includes:

[0049] Use Flamant's solution, the uniform load calculation formula on a strip foundation, and the additional stress load calculation formula at any point of a triangle to superimpose and calculate the actual pressure values at different depths below the characteristic point m and the characteristic point n.

[0050] Specifically, the formula for the actual stress value is as follows:

[0051] σ = σ0 + η t p0

[0052] Where σ is the actual stress value, σ0 is the initial vertical stress, p0 is the initial vertical stress from the ground to the center of the tunnel base, and η t is the vertical additional stress coefficient.

[0053] Preferably, the vertical additional stress coefficient η t is calculated according to the tunnel span and the vertical distance between the position point to be calculated and the base surface.

[0054] Specifically, the calculation formula for the initial vertical stress from the ground to the center of the tunnel base is as follows:

[0055] p0 = γh

[0056] where p0 is the initial vertical stress from the ground to the center of the tunnel base, γ is the soil density, and h is the vertical distance from the ground to the center of the tunnel base.

[0057] The specific implementation manner of the present invention is as follows:

[0058] Establish a numerical model for the tunnel to be constructed, and use the numerical model to simulate the tunnel excavation to obtain the vertical stress at each position along the length direction of the tunnel base;

[0059] Calculate the ratio of the vertical stress at each position to the initial vertical stress at the corresponding position, and obtain the relationship curve between each position along the length direction of the tunnel base and the corresponding vertical stress ratio. Normalize the relationship curve, that is, divide the abscissa value (the position coordinate value along the length direction of the base) of the relationship curve by half of the width of the tunnel vertical section to obtain the stress ratio curve, that is, the abscissa is each position point along the width direction at the tunnel vertical section and the ordinate is the vertical stress ratio corresponding to each position point (as shown in Figure 1 ), Figure 1 The curve in shows the stress ratio curve along the width direction on the right half side of the tunnel center line. That is, the positive direction of the X-axis represents each position point of the tunnel base from the center line to the right side, and the P-axis represents the vertical stress ratio;

[0060] In the stress ratio curve, the part where the vertical stress ratio is less than 1 is the unloading area and the part greater than 1 is the loading area. That is, Figure 1 in , the line segment mn is area I, the line segment no is area II, the line segment op is area III, and the right side of point p is area IV. Obtain the expression for each area according to Flamant's solution, and establish a pressure calculation model according to the expression;

[0061] The value range of the vertical stress ratio of the characteristic point m is (0.36, 0.54), and the value range of the vertical stress ratio of the characteristic point o is (1.10, 1.18). If the tunnel construction has less disturbance to the base, smaller values can be adopted. If the tunnel construction has greater disturbance to the base, larger values can be adopted;

[0062] Taking the calculation of the actual stress value at point m as an example, since the vertical additional stress coefficient η tIt is calculated based on the tunnel span and the vertical distance between the position point to be calculated and the base surface, and the calculation formula for the actual stress value at point m can be obtained as follows:

[0063]

[0064] Among them, σ m is the actual stress value at a certain position point below point m, B t is the tunnel span, is the vertical stress ratio of the characteristic point m (which can refer to the above value range), is the vertical stress ratio of the characteristic point o (which can refer to the above value range), p0 is the initial vertical stress from the ground to the center of the tunnel base, and z is the vertical distance between the position point to be calculated and the base surface;

[0065] Figure 1 In , the characteristic points m, n, o, and P are all relatively key research nodes, and the actual stress values at different positions and different depths below each characteristic point can be calculated respectively in the above manner;

[0066] The actual stress values at different position points below the base can be calculated using the pressure calculation model, and the collapsibility of loess under the actual stress state can be obtained through experiments according to the operation process of the collapsibility coefficient in the current loess specification, so as to know the subsequent construction design.

[0067] The present invention has been described in detail above in combination with the embodiments in the accompanying drawings. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make various variations of the present invention according to the above description. Therefore, some details in the embodiments should not constitute a limitation to the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the scope defined in the appended claims.
