Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of excavation and construction methods for foundation pits, specifically relating to a method for controlling ground uplift during excavation of foundation pits overlying existing multi-line parallel tunnel groups. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating pace of urbanization in my country, the scale of underground space development is also increasing, with a surge in underground engineering projects such as subways, tunnels, and foundation pits, all on a continuously expanding scale. Due to construction sequence issues, subsequent foundation pit excavation inevitably needs to be carried out above or near existing subways, tunnels, and other underground structures. Excavating foundation pits above existing tunnels will inevitably lead to stress release and soil rebound, and the deformation of the soil will inevitably affect the existing tunnel, causing changes in the tunnel's stress and displacement fields. In particular, the excavation of foundation pits for some building basements or urban underground roads will be carried out directly above the tunnel, altering the original tunnel's stress and deformation fields and disrupting its original stress equilibrium. As the load above the tunnel decreases, and under the buoyancy of groundwater, vertical deformation of the tunnel and rebound of the soil below the tunnel will occur, significantly impacting the safety of subway operations. When tunnel deformation exceeds a certain limit, it can lead to water leakage at tunnel joints, or in severe cases, significantly impact the safe operation of the tunnel, potentially rendering it unsafe to operate. Therefore, in the excavation of foundation pits near subways, tunnels and pipelines, it is necessary to strictly control the heave and deformation of the soil to ensure the safety of existing tunnels.

[0003] In the engineering field, numerous experts and scholars have conducted extensive research on soil deformation control measures. Common deformation control measures include segmented and layered excavation of the foundation pit, surcharge backfilling, installation of central partition walls, installation of anti-buoyancy anchors, installation of gantry-type restraint systems, and reinforcement of the tunnel structure itself. Among these, segmented and layered excavation of the foundation pit and anti-buoyancy anchors are effective in controlling soil deformation, but their planning and implementation are complex, making them difficult to meet the requirements of foundation pit projects with strict requirements for controlling tunnel uplift deformation. Reinforcement of the tunnel structure itself has limited effectiveness in controlling the overall displacement of the tunnel and cannot be used as a primary deformation control measure.

[0004] The above-mentioned methods for controlling ground heave during excavation and unloading of foundation pits are mostly designed for single foundation pit projects or cases with a single underlying tunnel. They are difficult to meet the requirements for controlling the uplift deformation of existing multi-line parallel tunnel groups and cannot provide scientific and effective early warning and prevention of uplift deformation of existing multi-line parallel tunnel groups. Therefore, given the current lack of an effective, feasible, and scientific method for controlling the heave of the overlying strata during excavation of existing multi-line parallel tunnel groups, which presents extremely high uplift deformation requirements, it is urgent to develop a scientific, efficient, and practical method for controlling the heave of the overlying strata during excavation of existing multi-line parallel tunnel groups. This method is of great significance and application prospects, especially for overlying strata excavation and unloading projects in densely populated urban underground spaces, and is crucial for ensuring the safety of underground excavation and unloading projects such as foundation pits. This approach aims to improve the operational safety of existing underground tunnel groups and the stability of foundation pit excavation and support, refine the method for controlling the heave of the overlying strata during excavation, and achieve the goal of preventing heave of existing tunnel groups and ensuring the safety of foundation pit support. The method employs methods such as grouting reinforcement of the surrounding strata of existing tunnel groups, construction of a combined protection system for preventing heave of existing tunnel groups and foundation pit support, layered, segmented, and sectioned excavation of the overlying foundation pit soil, and prediction and control of heave deformation of existing tunnel groups. Summary of the Invention

The method employs grouting reinforcement of the surrounding strata of existing tunnel groups, construction of a combined protection system for preventing ground heave in existing tunnel groups and excavation and support, layered, segmented, and sectioned excavation of the overlying soil, and prediction and control of ground heave deformation in existing tunnel groups.

[0094] In step S4, the overlying foundation pit soil of the tunnel group is excavated using a layered, segmented, and sectioned excavation method; such as... Figure 7 :

[0095] The layered, segmented, and sectioned excavation method vertically divides the overlying foundation pit soil of the tunnel group into N layers, where N is 2 to 6 layers, and each layer is 3 to 5 meters thick, with the layer thickness gradually decreasing from top to bottom; preferably, the upper layer A = 5m and the lower layer B = 3m.

[0096] It is divided into M horizontal sections, where M is 4 to 8 sections. M is the same as the number of tunnels K. Here, the preferred order is inner section A1, inner section A2, outer section B1, and outer section B2.

[0097] The pit is longitudinally divided into O segments, with O consisting of 2 to 6 segments. The width of a single excavation (segment width) along the direction perpendicular to the existing tunnel should not exceed L2 / 8. When it exceeds L2 / 8, the width of a single excavation should be twice the inner diameter of the tunnel. Here, the preferred segments are the front segment A, the middle segment B, and the rear segment C.

When the bottom of the foundation pit shows a tendency to heave and deform, the heaving deformation of the tunnel group is controlled by the steel strands installed in the first grouting anchor 11, the second grouting anchor 12 and the anti-buoyancy anchor 13.

[0105] Preferably, the allowable heave deformation limit value at the bottom of the foundation pit is δ, and δ is determined according to the protection level of the foundation pit and tunnel, generally 20 to 40 mm;

When the actual uplift deformation value at the bottom of the foundation pit reaches 0.6δ, a yellow warning is issued, and the uplift deformation is controlled by applying prestress through the steel strands in the anti-buoyancy anchor. When the actual heave deformation value at the bottom of the foundation pit reaches 0.8δ, an orange warning is issued. Prestress is applied to the steel strands in the first grouting anchor, the second grouting anchor, and the anti-buoyancy anchor to control the heave deformation. When the actual heave deformation value at the bottom of the foundation pit exceeds 0.95δ, a red alert is triggered. Heave deformation is controlled by applying prestress through steel strands, and dewatering or temporary surcharge methods are also used to control heave deformation.
