[0002] With the continuous deepening of domestic infrastructure construction, tunnels and underground projects have become indispensable facilities for human production and life. Driven by the gradual improvement of human use of tunnels and underground projects, the cross-section has gradually increased, and large-span traffic tunnels, underground storage tanks, civil air defense projects, underground service facilities, etc. have increased rapidly. Although my country has a large number of large-span underground projects under construction, there is still a large gap in the design and construction of large-span underground caverns compared with international advanced technologies, which directly affects the improvement of project benefits and restricts the overall improvement of my country's international competitiveness. At present, the main construction methods of domestic underground projects include half-section method, step method, double-side wall pilot pit method, single rock column support partial excavation method, subway station hole pile method, etc. The above methods are mainly suitable for narrow and long underground projects with a cross-section span of generally less than 20m, and are not suitable for large-volume and large-span underground projects. Although the cross-section size of the hole pile method used in the subway field is relatively large, it is still a narrow and long space as a whole, with a cross-section width of generally less than 22m and a column span of less than 10m, which is also not suitable for large-volume underground projects.
