[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention discloses a method for calculating the arch load of a shallow loess tunnel considering the influence of vertical joints, comprising the following steps:
[0047] Step S1: Based on the mechanical model established by Xie Jiawu method, vertical joints of loess are introduced to establish a vertical joint dislocation dynamics model;
[0048] In the mechanical model of vertical joint dislocation, Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, W is the gravity of the overlying rock mass BDGI of the tunnel; W wis the gravity of the triangular rock mass ABJ or DEF; E is the lateral pressure; F is the resistance of the undisturbed soil to the entire sliding soil; T is the thrust generated by the triangular rock masses ABJ and DEF on the upper overlying rock mass BDGI; H a is the distance from the ground surface to the vault; Z is the distance from the selected stratum to the ground surface; Z0 is the buried depth of the horizontal axis of the tunnel; θ is the friction angle on the BI and DG surfaces; λ is the lateral pressure coefficient; W i is the gravity of each soil column unit; T x is the thrust between soil column units; P i is the force exerted by the supporting structure on the soil column unit; M i and M i ′ is the friction force between soil column units; N i and N i ′ is the normal force between soil column units.
[0049] The vertical joint dislocation dynamic model in step S1 includes the tunnel overlying rock mass BDGI, the triangular rock mass ABJ on the left side of the overlying rock mass BDGI, and the triangular rock mass DEF on the right side of the overlying rock mass BDGI.
[0050] The triangular rock bodies ABJ and DEF on the left and right sides of the overlying rock mass BDGI both generate thrust T on the overlying rock mass BDGI.
[0051] The deadweight of a triangular rock mass ABJ or DEF is expressed by the following formula:
[0052]
[0053] Where: γ is the weight of soil; h is the height of BJ in triangular rock mass ABJ or the height of DF in triangular rock mass DEF; β is the angle between the fracture surface and the horizontal line.
[0054] For the force analysis of the triangular rock mass ABJ or DEF, according to the sine theorem, the thrust T is expressed by the following formula:
[0055]
[0056] Where: is the internal friction angle of soil; θ is the angle between the thrust T and the horizontal direction.
[0057] Substituting formula (1) into formula (2), the thrust T can be obtained as:
[0058]
[0059] Where: λ is the lateral pressure coefficient, Calculate the friction angle for the soil, c is the soil cohesion; δ is the compressive stress when determining the shear strength of the soil; β is the angle between the fracture surface and the horizontal line,
[0060] Decompose the thrust T in the horizontal and vertical directions to obtain the horizontal thrust T H and vertical thrust T V The expression is:
[0061]
[0062] Step S2: Based on the vertical joint dislocation dynamics model in step S1, the vertical joint dislocation dynamics model is decomposed into a plurality of soil column units, a force analysis is performed on the soil column units, and mechanical equilibrium equations in the horizontal and vertical directions are established;
[0063] Step S201: decomposing the rock mass BCHI into multiple groups of soil column units by using the strip method;
[0064] As loess has significant structural characteristics, the vertical joints are simplified into multiple independent soil column units. The strip method is used to analyze the mechanical behavior of the soil above the tunnel, and the rock mass BCHI is decomposed into multiple groups of interacting soil column units, such as Figure 2 As shown, soil column units are KCHL, MKLN, etc.
[0065] Step S202: performing force analysis on the soil column unit body decomposed in step S201 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction;
[0066] right Figure 2 The stress analysis of the soil column unit KCHL shows:

[0074] The stress analysis of the soil column unit QOPR yields:
[0075] N x+1 ′=N x (10)
[0076] W x =P x dx-M x +M x+1 ′ (11)
[0077] The stress analysis of the soil column unit BSTI yields:
[0078] T H =N j (12)
[0079] W j =P j dx-M j +T V (13)
[0080] Where: T H is the thrust T in the horizontal direction.
[0081] The overall stress analysis of the soil column BCHI shows that:
[0082] T H =N j ···=N x =E (14)
[0083]
[0084] Step S203: Based on the force analysis of the soil column unit body in step S202, the mechanical equilibrium equations of the soil column unit body at a distance x from the tunnel centerline are obtained in the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0085] In summary, when the distance between the soil column unit and the tunnel centerline is x, the mechanical equilibrium equation in the horizontal direction is expressed by the following formula:
[0086] T H =N x (16)
[0087] Where: N xis the normal force between soil column units.
[0088] When the distance between the soil column unit and the tunnel centerline is x, the mechanical equilibrium equation in the vertical direction is expressed by the following formula:
[0089]
[0090] Where: γ is the soil weight, H a is the distance from the ground surface to the dome, M x is the friction force between soil column units; P(x) is the force exerted by the supporting structure on the soil column unit.
[0091] Step S3: Based on the soil column unit body in step S2, the contact surface of the adjacent soil column unit bodies is subjected to force analysis to determine the friction force M between the soil column unit bodies. x ;
[0092] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the friction force M between the soil column units is x is the friction force between the soil column unit at position x and the soil column unit at position x+1, M x It is expressed by the following formula:
[0093] M x =N x tanθ x (18)
[0094] Where: N x is the normal force between soil column units; θ x It is the angle between the thrust between soil column units and the horizontal direction.
[0095] Step S4: Based on the vertical joint dislocation dynamics model described in step S2 and combined with the slope of the ground settlement curve, determine the angle θ between the thrust of the soil column unit and the horizontal direction. x Expression of
[0096] Step S401: Calculate the friction angle based on the soil Establish the angle θ between the thrust force between the soil column units and the horizontal direction x The expression is:
[0097] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the thrust T between soil column units is x The angle θ with the horizontal direction x Take soil from the stratum fracture surface AJ to calculate the friction angle The closer to the tunnel centerline, the smaller the relative displacement between the soil column units is, until the θ x The value is 0; based on the above rules, θ xAssociated with the slope of the formation settlement curve, the following expression is established:
[0098]
[0099] Where: k is the actual friction angle correction coefficient;
[0100] Step 402: Based on the foundation settlement curve, determine the actual friction angle correction coefficient k:
[0101] The formation subsidence curve S(x) is expressed by the following formula:
[0102]
[0103] Where: m = 1.256-0.332Z / Z0, V L is the stratum volume loss or ground loss rate; D is the tunnel diameter; Z is the distance from the selected stratum to the surface, let Z = 0.5Z0; x is the horizontal distance from any point to the tunnel axis.
[0104] According to the formation settlement curve S(x), the expression of k is obtained:
[0105]
[0106] Where: i is the horizontal distance from the tunnel centerline to the inflection point of the settlement curve, also known as the width of the settlement trough, i = K (Z0-Z);
[0107] Step S403: Based on the actual friction angle correction coefficient k in step S402, determine the θ in step S401 x :
[0108]
[0109] Where: x is the horizontal distance from any point to the tunnel axis; i is the horizontal distance from the tunnel centerline to the inflection point of the settlement curve; Z is the distance from the selected stratum to the surface, let Z = 0.5Z0.
[0110] Step S5: Based on the mechanical equilibrium equations in the horizontal and vertical directions in step S2 and the friction force M between the soil column units in step S3 x and the angle θ between the thrust between the soil column units and the horizontal direction in step S4 x , determine the vertical load P(x) on the tunnel arch.
[0111] Substituting equations (18) and (22) into equation (17) and transforming the equations, we can obtain the vertical load P(x) of the tunnel arch in step S5:
[0112]
[0113] Where: γ is the soil weight, H a is the distance from the ground surface to the dome, λ is the lateral pressure coefficient, is the friction angle of the soil, i is the width of the settlement trough, Z is the distance from the selected stratum to the surface, Z=0.5Z0.

According to the engineering exploration data, the strata distributed at the tunnel location are composed of the Quaternary Upper Pleistocene old loess, the Quaternary Middle Pleistocene old loess and the Upper Pliocene mudstone of the Upper Tertiary System. The vertical joints and joint fissures are developed, and the surrounding rock stability is poor, belonging to the V-level surrounding rock. The tunnel burial depth is H a =28m, Z0=34.7m, h=41.4m, width of sedimentation trough i=K(Z0-Z), K is 0.5 according to engineering experience, surrounding rock density γ=20kN / m 3 , soil cohesion c = 29kPa, soil internal friction angle The parameters of the tunnel arch vertical load P(x) are all known, and the tunnel arch vertical load P(x) can be obtained. The tunnel arch vertical load P(x) is calculated by using the Xie Jiawu method and the calculation method proposed by the present invention, as shown in Table 1 and Table 2;
