In recent years, there have also been practical cases in the engineering community where the expansion section is asymmetric and the left and right holes are small clearance tunnels. In this case, if only the small-section tunnel is expanded, the following problems will be faced: 1) The clearance between the two tunnels is small, the construction space for the expansion is limited, and the existing support measures for the expansion tunnel are easy to damage the support system of the existing large-section tunnel; 2) In the existing technology, the construction method of the expansion blasting operation will have a certain impact on the structure of the existing large-section tunnel; 3) The existing expansion method has many adverse effects on the surrounding environment and existing traffic.

[0023] In the related art, in the expansion project of asymmetric small-clearance tunnels, the original tunnel is usually demolished first and then the new expansion tunnel is excavated, which leads to high construction risks and has a greater impact on the structure of the tunnel on the other side. The present invention adopts a method of "digging first and then demolishing + excavation in stages". First, the lining structure of the existing tunnel is used as part of the renovation and expansion project. Through reasonable structural conversion, the area that originally required large-span excavation is converted into multiple small-span excavation sections. Secondly, the renovation and expansion area is divided into multiple small-span excavation sections, and excavation is carried out one by one, which can effectively control the deformation and stress distribution during the excavation process and reduce the impact on the existing tunnel. Finally, while excavating the new tunnel space, the lining structure of the existing tunnel is kept intact. After the support of the newly excavated section is completed and reaches stability, the existing tunnel lining part in the expansion tunnel is gradually dismantled.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, before constructing the right guide tunnel of the expansion tunnel 3, safety protection is implemented on the existing large-section tunnel 1 and the small-section tunnel 2, including: a plurality of transverse steel arch frames are arranged at intervals along the inner wall of the large-section tunnel 1, and the spacing between two adjacent transverse steel arch frames along the longitudinal direction of the tunnel is 1m; a plurality of monitoring devices are buried at the arch top and arch waist of the large-section tunnel 1 and the small-section tunnel 2 to monitor the deformation of the tunnel structure.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, excavating the lower right guide tunnel includes: excavating the lower right guide tunnel after excavating the upper right guide tunnel to a certain step distance; performing initial support for the second arch wall section and initial support for the first inverted arch section as the excavation is carried out, wherein the initial support for the second arch wall section includes a second arch wall section system anchor rod, a second arch wall section steel arch frame and second arch wall section sprayed concrete, and the initial support for the first inverted arch section includes a first inverted arch section steel arch frame, a first inverted arch section sprayed concrete and a first inverted arch section locking anchor rod located at both ends of the first inverted arch section.

[0040] IV: IV-1, remove the structural bottom plate inside the small-section tunnel 2. IV-2, excavate the bottom invert within the scope of the expansion tunnel 3, and promptly implement the initial support and locking anchor rods at the invert of the expansion tunnel 3. IV-3, temporarily retain the rock mass under the outer wall of the small-section tunnel 2.

[0041] V: Temporary vertical steel arch frames are set up along the outer wall of the lining of small-section tunnel 2 and below the intersection of the steel arch frame of expanded tunnel 3 and small-section tunnel 2, with a spacing of 1m to provide sufficient support to prevent tunnel deformation and collapse.

[0042] VI: According to the monitoring and measurement results, VI-1, choose a reasonable time to break the lining structure of the small-section tunnel 2 and the rock mass below the side wall that invades the expansion tunnel 3. VI-2, complete the initial support of the remaining parts of the invert arch, so that the initial support is closed into a ring.

[0043] VII: VII-1, pouring the invert and backfill layer of the expanded tunnel 3. VII-2, at the same time, the cavity between the left wall of the small-section tunnel 2 and the expanded tunnel 3 is filled with low-grade concrete.

[0048] (2) Efficient use of existing structures: By using the existing tunnel lining structure as part of the renovation and expansion project, the maximum utilization of resources is achieved, the amount of new support structure engineering is reduced, and the project cost is saved.

Phased excavation and the construction sequence of excavation first and demolition later accelerated the construction progress, shortened the construction period, and reduced indirect costs.

[0050] (4) Improving structural safety performance: Through reasonable structural conversion and reinforcement measures, the existing tunnel lining structure is integrated into the new tunnel system, achieving an organic combination of the old and new structures and improving the stability and safety of the overall structure.

[0051] (5) Reduce environmental impact: The construction process has little impact on the surrounding environment and existing traffic, which is in line with the current concept and requirements of sustainable development and is conducive to protecting the ecological environment and reducing social impact.
