Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tunnel safety judgment, and in particular to a method for judging the safety thickness of a tunnel in a deep-buried, water-rich fault fracture zone and a test component thereof. Background Art

[0002] Since the southwest region is mountainous and has undulating terrain, most of the routes will pass through mountain tunnels. In addition, the southwest region has abundant underground karst water, and unfavorable geological conditions such as fault fracture zones are often encountered during tunnel excavation. The rock mass in the fault fracture zone is broken, groundwater is developed, and the stability is low. When the tunnel is excavated to this area, the surrounding rock stress field and seepage field are redistributed under the disturbance of construction. Under the action of rock mass stress and seepage pressure, water gushing and mud instability will occur, which will seriously threaten the safety of construction personnel, cause property losses and delay the construction period.

[0003] During the excavation of the tunnel from the ordinary surrounding rock section to the fault fracture zone, the surrounding rock deterioration degree gradually increases, and the length of the anti-burst rock mass between the tunnel face and the fault surface gradually decreases. Under the fluid-solid coupling effect of the fault fracture zone, the anti-burst rock mass is very likely to be sheared and unstable, resulting in a large amount of mud and sand from the fault fracture zone pouring into the tunnel. Therefore, before the tunnel is excavated to the fault fracture zone, it is necessary to determine the anti-burst safety thickness in advance and reserve enough anti-burst rock mass in front of the face to ensure the safety of tunnel excavation.

[0004] Application No. 2016101444691 provides a tunnel water inrush model test system and method under high ground stress and high seepage pressure. The test model is excavated at the reserved tunnel entrance, and the strain, pressure and displacement are monitored during the test through a monitoring and control system.

[0005] This existing technology monitors the face by direct detection, so this monitoring method is carried out synchronously with the progress of tunnel excavation. It is impossible to predict at what distance from the tunnel excavation to the broken fault zone that water and mud bursts will occur, that is, the safe thickness to prevent water and mud bursts cannot be assessed, so preventive excavation for water and mud bursts cannot be carried out. Only when the face reaches the limit of water and mud bursts will there be detection data. Summary of the invention

Then, by facing the laser rangefinder 51 to the tunnel tunnel face, when the tunnel face is displaced, the laser rangefinder 51 will feedback the displacement, thereby realizing the detection of whether the tunnel face is stable.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, the monitoring system includes a collecting barrel 52, a pressure sensor II53 and a data acquisition instrument 54.

In this test scheme, [X] = 25%;

[0051] Then, when the value calculated by the detection data is greater than the safety limit [X], stop tunnel excavation and record the tunnel face excavation distance; x i The monitoring data at the target distance is the monitoring system's detection of whether there is water or mud inrush at the tunnel face. The monitoring system will record the detection data and then calculate the safety limit value [X] based on the monitoring data. i In fact, the Figure 4 The specific value of the vertical coordinate in the monitoring system is the data recorded by the monitoring system, such as the displacement obtained by the laser rangefinder 51, the water and mud inflow obtained by the pressure sensor II53, and the water pressure difference obtained by the water pressure gauge 5. i It can be any of the above data or the data obtained after comprehensive evaluation of the three data, where x i The numerical units are unified units.
