Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for accurately predicting the degree of surrounding rock rupture in deep tunnels. Background Art

[0002] The commonly used methods for predicting the degree of surrounding rock rupture in deep tunnels in engineering mainly include topographic and geologic analysis method, AE method (acoustic emission method), drill cuttings method (rock core discing method), and geothermal method.

[0003] The topographic and geologic analysis method obtains a general understanding of the terrain of the area by carefully observing its topography. In alpine and canyon areas, the valleys are areas with highly concentrated stress. In addition, according to the geological report data, the sections with stress concentration and relatively large ground stress that may be encountered during the construction of the auxiliary tunnel are preliminarily determined. However, the topographic and geologic analysis method is mainly applicable to engineering geological environments such as alpine and canyon areas that are easy to observe, and cannot accurately predict the degree of surrounding rock rupture in deep tunnels, and cannot solve the problem of high-precision prediction under various conditions such as the diversity of deep rock rupture modes, the directionality of progressive rupture, and the timeliness of rupture under the excavation disturbance of deep high-stress fractured rock masses.

[0004] The AE method (acoustic emission method) utilizes the result that there is an acoustic emission phenomenon before the rock approaches failure, and detects the internal situation of the rock through an acoustic wave detector. The basic parameters of this method are the energy rate E and the frequency N of large events, which reflect the degree of internal rock rupture and the stress growth rate to a certain extent. This prediction method is the most direct and effective. However, due to the complexity of the internal environment of deep surrounding rock tunnels, the prediction result of the AE method (acoustic emission method) is affected by the internal environment and cannot be accurately predicted, and cannot solve the problem of high-precision prediction under multiple states of excavation disturbance of deep high-stress fractured rock masses.

[0005] The drill cuttings method (rock core discing method) is carried out by drilling the rock. While conducting the advanced prediction drilling, the drill cuttings and the taken rock cores can be analyzed; for rocks with relatively low strength, the rock burst trend is judged according to the ratio of the volume of the drilled cuttings to the theoretical volume of the drilled hole. However, the sampling of the drill cuttings method (rock core discing method) is relatively single, and it cannot accurately predict the internal situation of deep tunnels in complex environments, and cannot solve the problem of high-precision prediction under various conditions such as the diversity of deep rock rupture modes, the directionality of progressive rupture, and the timeliness of rupture under the excavation disturbance of deep high-stress fractured rock masses.

[0006] The geothermal method uses an infrared thermometer. If the geothermal temperature is close to the geothermal temperature at normal burial depth, it indicates weak groundwater seepage and dry and water-free surrounding rock, and the possibility of rockburst is relatively high. However, predicting rock mass fractures through groundwater seepage cannot quantify the indicators and is not accurate enough for predicting the degree of surrounding rock rupture in deep tunnels under complex engineering backgrounds, and cannot solve the problem of high-precision prediction under complex excavation disturbance environmental conditions of deep high-stress fractured rock masses.

[0007] Based on the existing prediction methods and technologies for the degree of surrounding rock rupture in deep tunnels, it is difficult to accurately predict the degree of surrounding rock rupture under various conditions such as the diversity of deep rock mass rupture modes, the directionality of progressive rupture, and the timeliness of rupture under the excavation disturbance conditions of deep high-stress fractured rock masses. The main problems are as follows:

[0008] (1) The topographic and geologic analysis method is mainly applicable to engineering geological environments such as high mountain and canyon areas that are easy to observe, and cannot accurately predict the degree of surrounding rock rupture in deep tunnels, and cannot solve the problem of high-precision prediction under various conditions such as the diversity of deep rock mass rupture modes, the directionality of progressive rupture, and the timeliness of rupture under the excavation disturbance conditions of deep high-stress fractured rock masses;

[0009] (2) The prediction results of the AE method (acoustic emission method) are affected by the complexity of the internal environment of deep surrounding rock tunnels and cannot be accurately predicted, and cannot solve the problem of high-precision prediction under multiple states of excavation disturbance of deep high-stress fractured rock masses;

[0010] (3) The sampling of the drill cuttings method (core disking method) is relatively single, and cannot accurately predict the internal situation of deep tunnels under complex environments, and cannot solve the problem of high-precision prediction under various conditions such as the diversity of deep rock mass rupture modes, the directionality of progressive rupture, and the timeliness of rupture under the excavation disturbance conditions of deep high-stress fractured rock masses;

[0011] (4) The geothermal method cannot quantify the indicators for predicting rock mass fractures through groundwater seepage and is not accurate enough for predicting the degree of surrounding rock rupture in deep tunnels under complex engineering backgrounds, and cannot solve the problem of high-precision prediction under complex excavation disturbance environmental conditions of deep high-stress fractured rock masses. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Based on this, the present invention proposes a high-precision prediction method for the degree of surrounding rock rupture in deep tunnels, which can accurately predict the degree of surrounding rock rupture under various conditions such as the diversity of deep rock mass rupture modes, the directionality of progressive rupture, and the timeliness of rupture under the excavation disturbance conditions of deep high-stress rock mass fractures.

[0013] The present invention provides a high-precision prediction method for the degree of surrounding rock rupture in deep tunnels, including the following steps:

[0014] (1) First, conduct a comprehensive geological survey to gain a preliminary understanding of the basic geological conditions of the surrounding rock of the deep tunnel and provide an environmental basis for in-situ observation;

[0015] (2) Through in-situ observation, the branch detects the surrounding rock of deep tunnels. Combined with the geological survey, borehole photography is carried out in areas prone to surrounding rock fracture. The real-time images of surrounding rock fractures transmitted back by borehole photography can accurately grasp the development of cracks inside the surrounding rock;

[0016] (3) Analyze and judge the images sent back by the borehole camera, use ultrasonic detection technology to conduct secondary detection for the parts of the deep tunnel surrounding rock where cracks are prone to occur or where large cracks have already occurred, and use the borehole camera technology to secondary determine the accurate situation inside the deep tunnel surrounding rock, predict and prevent excavation for large cracks that have already occurred, and conduct disturbance stress testing for surrounding rock cracks that are still developing;

[0017] (4) Based on the borehole camera technology and ultrasonic detection technology, the disturbance stress test is used to detect the surrounding rock cracks that are still developing. The borehole camera technology and ultrasonic detection technology are combined to detect and analyze the cracks in the surrounding rock of the deep tunnel in stages, ensuring the accuracy of the prediction of the surrounding rock cracks.

[0018] (5) After comprehensive evaluation of the development of cracks in the surrounding rock of deep tunnels using borehole photography technology, ultrasonic detection technology and disturbance stress testing, a mathematical formula is used to predict the development of cracks in the surrounding rock of deep tunnels. Based on a large amount of practical data, the prediction formula for the development of cracks in the surrounding rock of deep tunnels is finally obtained as follows:

[0019] ;

[0020] Where: Indicates the development of cracks in the surrounding rock of deep tunnels; Indicates the surrounding rock cracks measured by borehole camera technology; Indicates the surrounding rock crack conditions measured by ultrasonic detection technology; It indicates the surrounding rock crack conditions measured by the disturbance stress test; are the safety factors of the three methods respectively;

[0021] (6) For the determination of the safety factor, the practical experience of borehole imaging technology, ultrasonic detection technology and disturbance stress test is integrated, and the response surface method is used to optimize and determine the three safety factors. The safety factor can be appropriately adjusted according to different geological conditions, but the coefficient must be optimized through the response surface method.

[0022] (7) By comprehensively using geological investigation, in-situ observation, mathematical fitting methods, and the response surface method to optimize the safety factor, a high-precision prediction method for the degree of surrounding rock rupture in deep tunnels applicable to different geological conditions can be finally obtained.
