Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underground engineering, and in particular to a tunnel construction method suitable for underground boulder areas in cities. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of urban construction, the problem of urban traffic congestion has become increasingly prominent. Along with the development and utilization of underground space, many cities have begun to carry out tunnel construction. As the main construction methods for urban underground projects: shallow buried tunneling and jacking can avoid the interference of open construction process on the surface, and have stronger adaptability and high flexibility to complex strata than shield method.

[0003] Shallow buried tunneling is mostly used in underground projects in soft quaternary strata, where the surrounding rock has poor bearing capacity. Its design points can be summarized as pipe ahead, strict grouting, short advance, strong support, early closure, frequent measurement, and fast feedback. However, improper construction organization or poor management can easily lead to construction risk accidents, such as excessive ground settlement or collapse, damage to ground buildings (structures), and cave collapse. If these risk accidents occur, the losses and impacts caused are very large.

[0004] Pipe jacking technology is a non-excavation mechanical excavation construction method used in municipal construction. During the jacking process, the jacking speed should be dynamically adjusted according to the monitored deformation, ground settlement control should be carried out, and the posture changes of the jacking machine should be monitored at all times. If there is any change, it should be corrected immediately, and the correction amplitude should not be too large. Therefore, pipe jacking technology is suitable for soft and geologically uniform soil layers such as silty clay, clay, silty clay, and sandy soil, but not for moderately weathered rock layers and soil layers with complex geology and isolated rocks.

[0005] The shallow buried tunneling method involves manual labor and does not require high geological uniformity, but it has greater risks. The pipe jacking technology uses a mechanical excavation construction method, but it has high requirements for the jacking posture and is not suitable for soil layers with complex geology and the presence of isolated rocks.

[0006] In view of this, the inventors have improved the shallow buried tunnel construction process and proposed a tunnel construction method suitable for urban underground rock areas to reduce the risk of manual operations and improve construction safety and efficiency. Summary of the invention
