Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel construction, in particular to a T-shaped damping inverted arch structure for a tunnel. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of China's economy, the role of transportation is becoming increasingly critical, and the requirements for roads are also increasing. Many highway tunnels are multi-lane large-span tunnels. Large-span tunnels have high requirements for construction and tunnel structure stability. In order to reduce the damage caused by tunnel floor heave, inverted arches are often used to set the tunnel floor. Due to the large span of the tunnel, the curvature of the inverted arch is required to be large, which means that the tunnel excavation workload is increased.

[0003] At present, the prevention and treatment of tunnel floor heave disease mostly adopts the method of anchoring. Invention patent CN111502706A discloses a tunnel inverted arch structure and method suitable for floor heave deformation control. A plurality of energy-absorbing anchor rods are arranged at the tunnel bottom to improve the ability of the tunnel bottom to resist deformation. However, for complex stratified rock mass, the surrounding rock structure is diverse, the soft interlayer and stratification are very developed, and the stability is very poor, which cannot guarantee the supporting effect of the anchor rod. Moreover, the anchor rods of the tunnel inverted arch structure are arranged perpendicular to the inverted arch surface, which cannot constrain the tangential deformation of the tunnel bottom. Invention patent CN107630706A discloses a tunnel bottom structure and construction method for eliminating tunnel inverted arch uplift in high ground pressure areas. A plurality of pressure relief holes are arranged at the tunnel bottom for excavation and backfilling with gravel to release ground stress. Although this method has a simple structure, arranging pressure relief holes in a large area at the tunnel bottom not only increases the construction workload, but also causes stress redistribution, which increases the damage and disturbance area of the surrounding rock mass and reduces the integrity of the surrounding rock mass. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the problem of structural damage caused by large floor heave amplitude of large-span tunnel inverted arches, the present application provides a T-shaped damping inverted arch structure for a tunnel. The inverted arch structure adopts a rigid-flexible combination mode, giving the tunnel surrounding rock a certain deformation space to release the strain energy generated by high ground stress. When the concrete retaining wall deforms to the limit, it takes on the role of resisting deformation, making the tunnel bottom segmented in the horizontal direction and improving the stability of the tunnel bottom, effectively controlling the tunnel floor heave.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present application is realized by the technical scheme as follows: a T-shaped damping inverted arch structure for a tunnel is designed, characterized in that the inverted arch structure comprises a concrete partition wall, a drainage pipeline, a grid, a gravel layer, a concrete base and a spring damping device, wherein the concrete base, the gravel layer, the grid, the drainage pipeline and the concrete partition wall are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, the width of the concrete base is smaller than that of the gravel layer, and the concrete base is arranged in the middle of the top surface of the gravel layer; the grid is laid in the middle of the bottom surface of the gravel layer, the top end of the drainage pipeline is connected with the middle of the bottom surface of the grid, and the bottom of the drainage pipeline is connected with the top surface of the concrete partition wall; the width of the grid is not less than that of the drainage pipeline, and the width of the drainage pipeline is equal to that of the concrete partition wall;

[0006] The spring damping device is arranged between the two sides of the concrete base and the side walls of the tunnel, and the base and the movable end of the spring damping device are in contact with one side of the concrete base and the side wall of the tunnel on the same side, respectively.

[0007] The drainage pipeline is a space with the same width as the concrete partition wall, which is surrounded by the bottom surface of the grid, the top surface of the concrete partition wall and the rock mass above the two sides of the top of the concrete partition wall.

[0008] The lengths of the concrete partition wall, the drainage pipeline, the grid, the gravel layer and the concrete base are equal to the length of the tunnel.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: the T-shaped damping inverted arch structure for a tunnel designed in the present application first determines the excavation depth according to the equal stress axis ratio theory, ensures the stability of the tunnel, and has fewer excavation positions, avoids excessive disturbance to the surrounding rock, reduces the excavation disturbance area of the tunnel and maintains the integrity of the surrounding rock; secondly, the rubber concrete partition wall has a certain horizontal direction elasticity and plays a damping role, reducing the extrusion of the horizontal ground stress on the tunnel bottom and causing the tunnel bottom to swell; finally, the gravel layer arranged at the tunnel bottom can uniformly disperse the force from the vehicle on the concrete base to the tunnel bottom, which is also conducive to the drainage in the tunnel. The inverted arch structure adopts a rigid-flexible combination mode, gives the surrounding rock of the tunnel bottom a certain deformation space, releases the strain energy generated by high ground stress, and when the concrete retaining wall deforms to the limit, plays a role in resisting deformation, divides the tunnel bottom in the horizontal direction, improves the stability of the tunnel bottom and effectively controls the tunnel bottom swelling.

[0015] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] The present application provides a T-shaped damping inverted arch structure (referred to as inverted arch structure, see Figure 1 ) for tunnel, which comprises a concrete partition wall 1, a drainage pipeline 2, a grid 3, a gravel layer 4, a concrete base 5 and a spring damping device 6, wherein the concrete base 5, the gravel layer 4, the grid 3, the drainage pipeline 2 and the concrete partition wall 1 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, the width of the concrete base 5 is smaller than the width of the gravel layer 4, and the concrete base 5 is arranged at the center of the top surface of the gravel layer 4; the grid 3 is laid on the center of the bottom surface of the gravel layer 4, the top end of the drainage pipeline 2 is connected with the middle part of the bottom surface of the grid 3, and the bottom of the drainage pipeline 2 is connected with the top surface of the concrete partition wall 1. The width of the grid 3 is not less than the width of the drainage pipeline 2, and the width of the drainage pipeline 2 is equal to the width of the concrete partition wall 1. The grid 3 prevents the gravel layer 4 from blocking the drainage pipeline 2.

[0017] The spring damping device 6 is arranged between the concrete base 5 and the tunnel side wall on both sides, and the base and the movable end of the spring damping device 6 are in contact with one side of the concrete base 5 and the tunnel side wall on the same side, respectively. The spring damping device 6 is uniformly arranged along the length direction of the tunnel.

[0018] The maximum compression amount of the spring damping device 6 is less than the safety allowable deformation amount of the tunnel.

[0019] The drainage pipeline is a space with the same width as the concrete partition wall 1, which is surrounded by the bottom surface of the grid 3, the top surface of the concrete partition wall 1, and the rock mass above the two sides of the top of the concrete partition wall 1.

[0020] The lengths of the concrete partition wall 1, the drainage pipeline 2, the grid 3, the gravel layer 4, and the concrete base 5 are equal to the length of the tunnel.

[0021] The bottom surface of the gravel layer 4 is a curved surface, and the cross section of the bottom surface in the vertical direction (i.e., the tunnel excavation section, as shown in FIG. 1) is a circular arc that is convex downward. Figure 1

[0022] The concrete partition wall 1 is rubber concrete and has a certain horizontal extension, which plays a damping role. The width of the concrete partition wall 1 is determined according to the safety allowable deformation amount of the tunnel and the deformation rate of the rubber concrete. The deformation amount of the concrete partition wall 1 is the product of the width and the deformation rate, and the value should be less than the safety allowable deformation amount of the tunnel.

[0023] The height of the concrete partition wall 1 is determined by the width and height of the tunnel excavation section, and the ratio of the horizontal load to the vertical load of the tunnel. According to the equal stress axis ratio theory, for an elliptical tunnel, the stability of the tunnel engineering is the strongest when the ratio of the vertical axis to the horizontal axis of the tunnel is equal to the ratio of the vertical load to the horizontal load. The specific determination steps are as follows: ① Obtain the ratio λ of the horizontal load to the vertical load of the tunnel excavation position in advance; ② Determine the maximum width a and height h of the tunnel excavation section according to actual needs; ③ According to the equal stress axis ratio theory, Determine the tunnel bottom excavation depth x, which is the sum of the height of the concrete partition wall 1 and the height of the drainage pipeline 2.

[0024] The gravel particle size used in the gravel layer 4 should be 3 cm to 7 cm, the density ≥1.6 g / cm 3 , the thickness of the gravel layer 4 ≥15 cm, and the support stiffness ≥70 kN / mm, so as to ensure the support and shock absorption effects of the gravel layer 4. The thickness of the gravel layer 4 refers to the distance from the lowest point of the bottom surface to the highest point of the top surface.

[0025] The concrete base 5 uses cast-in-place reinforced concrete, and the thickness is ≥50 cm and greater than 0.1a (a is the maximum width of the tunnel excavation section).

[0026] Example 1

[0027] This embodiment provides a T-shaped damping inverted arch structure for a tunnel. The inverted arch structure is as described above, and the elastic modulus of the concrete partition wall is 0.2 times that of the surrounding rock (i.e., the rock mass below the gravel layer 4). The tunnel provided with the inverted arch structure is model 2.​

[0028] The setting model 1 is a horseshoe-shaped tunnel with the upper arch being semicircular, and the setting model 3 is a circular tunnel.

[0029] The deformation of surrounding rock of different models is studied by numerical simulation, in the performance research test, the influence of the upper concrete base and the gravel layer is ignored, only the vertical displacement of the bottom plate of different excavation structures under the same geological condition is calculated. Assuming that the ratio of horizontal stress to vertical stress at the tunnel excavation position is λ=1, the width of the three tunnel models is 15m, the vertical displacement curve and the vertical displacement nephogram of the tunnel bottom plate under the action of ground stress are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the arching displacement of the tunnel bottom plate of model 1 is the largest, and the maximum vertical displacement points of model 2 and model 3 are not at the same position, but the displacement is basically the same, according to the equal stress axis ratio theory, model 3 is the most stable excavation method, but for large-span tunnels, the excavation amount of model 3 is too large, and model 2 can achieve the same effect as model 3 under the condition of little excavation amount, which reduces the construction amount and achieves the ideal effect.

[0030] The unmentioned part of the present application is applicable to the prior art.
