Abstract
Description
Technical Field

Underground engineering projects face complex geological environments, significant nonlinear mechanical properties of surrounding rock, and diverse failure modes, posing severe challenges to the design of underground engineering support systems. Current underground engineering support designs largely rely on empirical methods based on engineering analogies, lacking quantitative and reasonable theoretical guidance. Therefore, a deep understanding of the rock fracture-support coupling system is crucial.

[0032] The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0033] The method for determining stress migration support in underground engineering includes the following steps:
[0034] Step S1: Collect engineering results of typical important underground engineering projects, study the fracture depth and support strength of the surrounding rock, and establish a mapping relationship between them and the rock brittle-ductile transformation index (BEC) within the confining pressure range of the project.
[0035] The fracture depth and support strength of the surrounding rock in underground engineering follow an exponential function relationship with the brittle-ductile transformation index (BEC) of the rock within the confining pressure range.
[0036] Step S2: Based on the existing engineering rock brittle-ductile conversion index (BEC) and surrounding rock fracture monitoring results, determine the surrounding rock fracture depth and support strength, as well as the timing, method, and strength of primary and secondary support.
[0037] The peak strength σ was determined by conventional triaxial compression tests ranging from 0 to 50 MPa. p and residual strength σ r The confining pressures were set to 0 MPa, 10 MPa, 20 MPa, 30 MPa, 40 MPa, and 50 MPa. The values of the rock brittleness index BR were determined within different confining pressure ranges. k was determined by fitting the BR-confining pressure data using a linear function. BR(0~50) This allows for the determination of the brittle-ductile transformation index (BEC) of rocks within the confining pressure range of the project.
[0038] The formula for calculating the brittle-ductile conversion index (BEC) of rocks within the confining pressure range of the project is as follows:
[0039] BEC = -log 10 |k BR(0~50) |
[0040] In the formula:
[0041] BR is an index of rock brittleness;
[0042] k BR(0~50) The linear rate of change of the rock brittleness index BR within the confining pressure range (0-50 MPa) of the project.
[0043] The formula for calculating the rock brittleness index BR is as follows:
[0044]
[0045] In the formula:
[0046] σ p Peak rock strength;
[0047] σ r Residual strength of the rock;
[0048] Based on the existing rock brittle-ductile conversion index (BEC) of the existing project, substitute it into the mapping relationship established in step S1 to determine the surrounding rock fracture depth and support strength when the existing project is stable.
[0049] Immediately after the existing project is excavated, spray 5-10cm thick concrete onto the surface surrounding rock.
[0050] Based on the existing monitoring results of surrounding rock fracture, when the in-situ monitored fracture depth of the surrounding rock reaches 0.5 times the value calculated in step S2, the initial support is implemented. The support method is mortar anchor bolts, and the support strength of the mortar anchor bolts is 0.3 to 0.5 times the value calculated in step S2, so as to actively control the migration of the stress concentration zone to the deeper part of the surrounding rock.
[0051] Based on the existing monitoring results of surrounding rock fracture, when the fracture depth of the surrounding rock monitored in situ reaches 0.8 times the value calculated in step S2, secondary support is implemented. The support method is wire mesh and prestressed anchor bolts. A 10-15cm thick layer of concrete is sprayed on the surface surrounding rock and grouting is performed to reinforce the fractured area of the surrounding rock. The support strength of the prestressed anchor bolts is the value calculated in step S2. Local anchor cable support can be appropriately increased to actively mobilize the self-bearing potential of the deep surrounding rock.
[0052] When the maximum principal stress value is greater than 20 MPa and the strength-stress ratio of the surrounding rock is less than 2.5, pressure relief measures such as water spraying on the surface surrounding rock and stress relief blasting are adopted during the period from the initial support to the secondary support.
