Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fiber composite material lining technology, belonging to the field of tunnel engineering technology. Specifically, it involves a design method for a non-magnetic, electrically insulating fiber composite material lining. This invention offers advantages such as high strength, strong corrosion resistance, convenient construction, and high cost-effectiveness. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in the number and mileage of tunnels, many tunnel linings experience cracking and spalling of the concrete protective layer during service, posing a threat to traffic safety. Lining reinforcement technology is an effective method for strengthening tunnel linings, preventing spalling of the inner concrete and inhibiting crack development. While it extends the service life of tunnels to some extent, the lining reinforcement construction process is cumbersome, impacts the space inside the tunnel, and the metal components present certain safety hazards for the transmission of high-voltage electricity.

[0003] Current lining reinforcement methods mainly employ reinforced concrete casting or corrugated steel plate lining. The former is relatively complex to construct, significantly impacts the tunnel's net cross-section, and cannot guarantee the bond between new and old concrete, making it more prone to spalling. The latter has poor corrosion resistance, the corrugated steel plates are heavy, and construction is inconvenient, making it unsuitable for high-speed railway tunnels with high-voltage power transmission. Therefore, there is a need to develop a lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant, electrically insulating, non-magnetic, and quick-to-construct lining technology to broaden its applicability and extend the service life of tunnel linings. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fiber composite material lining, tunnel reinforcement structure and reinforcement method that is easy to construct and prevents excessive deformation from causing the corrugated plate to slip off.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] This invention first provides a fiber composite material bushing, comprising:

[0007] A fiber composite material board includes an arc-shaped board body; a groove is provided at one end of the arc-shaped board body, and a protrusion is provided at the other end of the arc-shaped board body; the protrusion can be embedded in the groove.

[0008] A connecting sleeve has slots distributed on both sides and a connecting hole connecting the two slots; the cross-sectional width of the connecting hole is smaller than the cross-sectional width of the slot; one end of the fiber composite material plate with a groove is inserted into one slot of the connecting sleeve, and one end of the fiber composite material plate with a protrusion is inserted into the other slot of the connecting sleeve; the protrusion at one end of the fiber composite material plate is inserted into the groove at one end of the other fiber composite material plate through the connecting hole, and the connecting hole forms a movable area between the protrusion end face and the bottom surface of the groove;

[0009] A limiting device includes a first connector, a second connector, and a third connector; the first connector is fixed to a fiber composite material plate on one side of the connecting sleeve, and the second connector is fixed to a fiber composite material plate on the other side of the connecting sleeve; a limiting hole is provided on the second connector, and a limiting portion is provided on the third connector; the third connector presses against the connecting sleeve, one end of the third connector is fixed to the first connector, and the other end of the third connector passes through the limiting hole of the second connector; the third connector can move freely with the movement of the first connector until the limiting portion contacts the limiting hole on the second connector.

[0010] The present invention also provides a tunnel reinforcement structure, comprising:

[0011] Fiber composite liner;

[0012] Adhesive material is used to fill the space between the fiber composite liner and the inner surface of the secondary liner;

[0013] The base is used to fix the fiber composite material bushing;

[0014] Base bolts are used to connect the base to the concrete foundation.

[0015] The present invention also provides a tunnel reinforcement method, comprising:

[0016] Fix the base to the concrete foundation;

[0017] Fiber composite material bushing is fixed on the base;

[0018] Inorganic cementitious material is injected into the inside of the fiber composite liner.

[0019] This invention relates to a lining system that uses a plug-in connection between multi-axial FRP profiles and epoxy resin, facilitating construction. Structural fiber cement grout is injected along the tunnel lining surface to bond the FRP profiles to the lining, ensuring convenient assembly and accurate positioning. A limiting device prevents the FRP corrugated plates from slipping due to excessive deformation, creating a self-locking structure under large deformation. The fiber composite lining technology is insulating, non-magnetic, and corrosion-resistant, with a specific strength 6.6 times that of corrugated steel plate linings, thus improving the overall performance and applicability of the lining.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1) This invention is made of multiple multi-axial FRP corrugated plates spliced ​​together. Compared with traditional corrugated steel plates and tension-type FRP corrugated plate lining, the construction is more convenient and the connection is more reliable. No additional auxiliary load-bearing components in the vertical fiber direction are required.

[0022] 2) The adjacent FRP corrugated plates adopt a structure in which they are inserted and bonded to the sleeve with epoxy resin. A gap is left in the middle to allow the corrugated plates to slide relative to each other, which increases the deformation capacity of the lining and can coordinate the deformation according to the lining contour.

[0023] 3) The limiting device enables the FRP corrugated plate to form a self-locking mechanism, preventing the FRP corrugated plate from separating under large deformation and causing the overall failure of the lining, thus maintaining the integrity of the basalt composite material lining under large deformation.

A fiber composite material lining technology is proposed, which facilitates the assembly of corrugated plates, ensures reliable connections, maintains strong integration with the existing lining, accurately positions the lining interior with the concrete, and significantly improves the overall deformation capacity of the lining, further enhancing the applicability of fiber composite material linings.
