Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tunnel blasting excavation technology, and provides a blasting excavation method suitable for the construction of the side wall pilot tunnel, which makes full use of the open face of the rear tunnel, reduces the impact of the blasting construction of the rear tunnel on the central diaphragm, reduces the number of blast holes in the rear tunnel, reduces the blasting consumption of the rear tunnel, and saves construction costs. Background Technology

[0002] In construction projects, tunnel construction often employs full-face excavation, bench excavation, and sidewall pilot tunnel excavation techniques, depending on the strength of the surrounding rock and the cross-sectional structure of the tunnel. In recent years, due to the surge in traffic volume and the continuous increase in the number of lanes on highways and municipal roads, the cross-sectional structure of tunnels has gradually become larger, and the construction of three-lane and even four-lane tunnels has become increasingly common. To ensure construction safety, the sidewall pilot tunnel construction technique is often used to control the settlement of the tunnel arch after excavation and ensure construction safety. However, the excavation of the main tunnel after the sidewall pilot tunnel requires blasting excavation due to the high strength of the surrounding rock. This often results in the temporary support of the central partition wall being damaged and needing to be dismantled and re-supported, which increases construction costs, reduces construction efficiency, and increases the probability of settlement or even collapse of the arch of large-section tunnels.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a blasting excavation method that can both ensure that the central diaphragm is not damaged and solve the problem of blasting excavation of the subsequent tunnel. This method is suitable for the construction of the subsequent tunnel through the side wall pilot tunnel and makes full use of the open face of the subsequent tunnel face. While improving construction efficiency and reducing construction costs, it also avoids the impact of blasting excavation of the subsequent tunnel on the central diaphragm. This blasting excavation method has important promotion significance for the blasting excavation of large-section tunnels, especially four-lane large-section tunnels. Summary of the Invention
