TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of tunnel stability evaluation, and particularly relates to a lining tunnel stability evaluation method under asymmetric force and fluctuating load. BACKGROUND
[0002] After tunnel excavation, the surrounding stress often changes, and the surrounding rock mass undergoes irreversible deformation after the stress is redistributed. In order to ensure the stability of the underground structure after excavation, lining materials are often used for support in engineering. The pressure of the surrounding rock is borne by the internal support lining and the tunnel together, and only for the tunnel, the internal and external pressure acts simultaneously, and in the later construction and service process, the entire structure simultaneously bears various load fluctuations from the external environment. Therefore, the stress of the tunnel needs to be limited to prevent excessive plastic deformation or direct collapse. For convenience of calculation, the existing technology simplifies the action of the stratum on the tunnel as a ring-shaped symmetric pressure with equal size, but in most cases, the ground stress distribution at the tunnel location is not equal, especially in the geological structure zone, the imbalance is very obvious, and the stress concentration phenomenon is very obvious, resulting in excessive deformation or direct collapse of the tunnel.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the stability evaluation method for lined tunnels subjected to wave loads under asymmetric forces includes the following steps:
[0042] Step 1: Sampling is carried out around the tunnel, Kaiser effect and acoustic emission experiment are carried out on the sample, the maximum horizontal principal stress of the stratum where the tunnel is located and the maximum horizontal principal stress σ1 and σ2 are obtained, and according to the spatial orientation of the tunnel, it is converted to the two-direction maximum and minimum principal stress of the tunnel section, which is denoted as σ H and σ h . The asymmetric coefficient ω = σ H / σ h is calculated. Obviously, ω is greater than 1, and the greater ω is, the more uneven the stress distribution is, the higher the stress concentration degree is, and the greater the adverse effect on the tunnel is.
[0043] Step 2: The tunnel construction structure is shown in Figure 2 , the inner and outer diameters of the tunnel are r0 and r1 respectively, the action of the stratum on the tunnel can be simplified as a two-direction asymmetric load, wherein P1 = σ h , P2 = σ H = ωP1, the action of the lining on the tunnel can be simplified as a pressure p0, and the stress condition of the tunnel is shown in Figure 3 .
[0044] According to the stress condition shown in Figure 3 , the following boundary conditions can be established at the boundary:
[0045] At the inner boundary,
[0046] At the outer boundary,
[0047] In the formula, σ r , σ θ are the radial and tangential normal stresses of a microelement on the cement body in polar coordinates, τ rθ is the shear stress; r represents the radial direction; and θ represents the polar angle.
[0048] Step 3: In the case of asymmetric load, the elastic solution has no explicit analytical solution, so the stress function is assumed to be in the form of formula (3), which satisfies the compatibility condition,
[0049]
[0050] In the formula, X1-X8 are undetermined coefficients.
[0051] The boundary conditions are brought in, and the unknown coefficients X1-X8 are solved to be in the form of matrix
[0052]
[0053] According to the meaning of the stress function, the elastic stress distribution is expressed as:
[0054]
[0055] where the superscript "e" represents the elastic state, σ r , σ θ , τ rθ , respectively, in the elastic state.
[0056] Step 4: For the symmetric case, when the structure yields due to the action of internal and external pressure, the whole region consisting of the yield radius and the inner diameter yields, and the yield region is a symmetric circular ring, as shown in Fig. 4a. For the asymmetric case, due to the existence of stress concentration, the points on the same radial line yield out of step, which leads to the yield region not being a central symmetric shape, as shown in Fig. 4b. Figure 4 Figure 5
[0057] The limit elastic principal stresses σ e 1 and σ e 2 of the first yield point at the inner diameter satisfy the Mohr-Coulomb condition, i.e., equation (6), and the derivative of the angle θ is 0, i.e., equation (7), according to which the position of the first yield point and its stress state can be determined.
[0058]
[0059]
[0060] where
[0061]
[0062] Step 5: To keep the structure stable under arbitrary stress, it is necessary to ensure that 1) the accumulation of plastic strain increment of the structure is reduced to prevent excessive deformation; and 2) the internal plastic work of the structure is avoided to prevent low-cycle fatigue failure.
[0063] Here it is assumed that the structure is subjected to a series of fluctuating external forces p i (x, t), i = 1, 2,... n, whose range of variation is p i (x, t) = {p i (x, t) - , p i (x, t) +} = (u i - , u i + p 0 i (x, t), where p 0 i (x, t) is the reference load, and ui - and ui + are load multipliers.
[0064] Therefore, the fluctuating load region Ω can be expressed as
[0065] Ω = {p = ∑p 0 i (x, t), u i ∈ (u i - , u i + )]} (9)
[0066] If the structure is to avoid the above two types of damage, then in this fluctuating load space Ω, each physical quantity must satisfy the following conditions
[0067]
[0068]
[0069]
[0070]
[0071] Δu i = 0 on S u (10)
[0072] where v is the load multiplier; σ E ij is the elastic stress generated by the fluctuating load; is the plastic strain rate cycle allowed by the mechanism; is the plastic dissipation power; Δu i and are the plastic displacement increment and strain increment within a cycle, respectively. V represents the region of the force body, and in V represents on the force body.
[0073] From equation (10), it can be found that the difficulty of solving is to construct a suitable self-balancing residual force field and to deal with the very explicit yield condition, so as to reduce the calculation scale of solving the engineering complex actual problem. Therefore, the plastic analysis of a certain fluctuating cycle can be used here to help construct the stress field that meets the conditions.
[0074] When the tunnel reaches plasticity, a point that occurs plastic deformation satisfies the balance equation, i.e. equation (11) at the same time. Due to the existence of plastic deformation, the stress is redistributed, which can be calculated approximately according to the elastic zone and without losing accuracy,
[0075] The plastic zone stress distribution is
[0076]
[0077]
[0078] wherein respectively represent σ r , σ θ in the plastic state.
[0079] Step 6: after obtaining the elastic and plastic stress distribution, the expression of residual strain can be written as
[0080]
[0081] respectively represent σ r , σ θ in the self-balanced stress field. This indicates in mechanics that the residual strain is a function of internal and external pressure and unbalanced coefficient, when the structure is damaged or large deformation occurs, the residual strain satisfies the reverse Mohr-Coulomb yield condition, and after being brought in, we get
[0082]
[0083] When formula (14) is just established, it is explained that P1 reaches the maximum allowable stress value, that is, P1=P max , and P max is solved. Formula (14) is an implicit function, and the physical quantity is substituted into formula (14) to specifically obtain P max .
[0084] In particular, when ω=1, formula (14) can be degenerated to the symmetric case, that is, formula (15),
[0085]
[0086] The application innovatively calculates the safety load of the wellbore structure from the theoretical analysis, simplifies the complex calculation process of general elastic-plastic analysis, does not need to consider the complex loading history, and considers the size of the wellbore, the stress size of the surrounding stratum, the material properties of the wellbore structure, and the prediction result is high in accuracy.
[0087] Taking a Guangdong tunnel as an example, the inner and outer diameters are 4.49m and 5.76m respectively, the cohesion of the tunnel is 6.87MPa, the internal friction angle is 27.2°, the unbalanced coefficient ω calculated through the ground stress test is 1.23, and P1=22.45MPa. P max =16.11MPa is calculated, so the load borne by the tunnel can be adjusted to be less than the value, so that the tunnel is always in a stable state.
