[0046] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the present application discloses a shallow-buried loess tunnel arch load calculation method considering the influence of vertical joints, which comprises the following steps:

[0047] Step S1: based on the mechanical model established by the method of Xie Jiaoxio, the loess vertical joint is introduced, and the vertical joint dislocation mechanical model is established;

[0050] The triangular rock masses ABJ and DEF on the left and right sides of the overlying rock mass BDGI generate a thrust T on the overlying rock mass BDGI.

[0051] The self-weight of the triangular rock mass ABJ or DEF is represented by the following formula:

[0054] According to the sine theorem, the thrust T is represented by the following formula through stress analysis of the triangular rock mass ABJ or DEF:

[0055]

[0056] In the formula, is the internal friction angle of the soil; and θ is the angle between the thrust T and the horizontal direction.

[0057] The thrust T is obtained by substituting formula (1) into formula (2):

[0060] The horizontal and vertical components of the thrust T are decomposed to obtain the expressions of the horizontal thrust T H and the vertical thrust T V

[0061]

[0062] Step S2: based on the vertical joint dislocation mechanics model described in step S1, the vertical joint dislocation mechanics model is decomposed into a plurality of soil column unit bodies, the stress analysis of the soil column unit bodies is carried out, and the mechanical equilibrium equations in the horizontal and vertical directions are established;

[0063] Step S201: the rock mass BCHI is decomposed into a plurality of groups of soil column unit bodies by using the strip method;

[0064] Since the loess has significant structural characteristics, the vertical joint is simplified into a plurality of independent soil column unit bodies, the strip method is used to analyze the mechanical behavior of the soil mass above the tunnel, the rock mass BCHI is decomposed into a plurality of groups of interacting soil column unit bodies, as shown in Figure 2 the soil column unit bodies KCHL, MKLN, etc.

[0080] In the formula: T H The thrust T is the force along the horizontal direction.

[0081] The stress analysis of the soil column BCHI as a whole yields the following results:

[0083]

[0084] Step S203: Based on the force analysis of the soil column unit described in step S202, the mechanical equilibrium equations of the soil column unit 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 horizontal mechanical equilibrium equation is expressed by the following formula:

[0086] T H =N x (16)

[0087] Where: N xis the normal force between the soil column units.

[0088] When the distance between the soil column units and the tunnel axis is x, the vertical mechanical equilibrium equation is represented by the following formula:

[0090] In the formula, γ is the specific weight of the soil, H a is the distance from the ground to the vault, M x is the friction between the soil column units; P(x) is the force of the supporting structure on the soil column units.

[0095] Step S4: Based on the vertical joint dislocation mechanical model in step S2, the expression of the angle θ x between the thrust between the soil column units and the horizontal direction is determined in combination with the curve slope of the stratum settlement.

[0096] Step S401: Based on the soil calculation friction angle , the expression of the angle θ x between the thrust between the soil column units and the horizontal direction is established:

[0097] As shown in Figure 4 , the angle θ x between the thrust T x between the soil column units and the horizontal direction is represented by the following formula: The closer the soil column units are to the tunnel axis, the smaller the relative dislocation between the soil column units, and the value of θ x at the tunnel axis is 0; based on the above rule, the expression of θ x ​Associated with the slope of the strata settlement curve, the following expression is established:

[0098]

[0099] In the formula: 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 strata settlement curve S(x) is represented by the following formula:

[0103] In the formula: m = 1.256-0.332Z / Z0, V L is the strata volume loss or ground loss rate; D is the tunnel diameter; Z is the distance from the selected strata to the ground surface, let Z = 0.5Z0; x is the horizontal distance of any point from the tunnel axis.

[0104] According to the strata settlement curve S(x), the expression of k is obtained:

[0105]

[0106] In the formula: i is the horizontal distance from the tunnel center line to the inflection point of the settlement curve, also known as the settlement groove width, i = K(Z0-Z);

[0107] Step S403: Based on the actual friction angle correction coefficient k in step S402, determine θ x in step s401.

[0108]

[0109] In the formula: x is the horizontal distance of any point from the tunnel axis; i is the horizontal distance from the tunnel center line to the inflection point of the settlement curve; Z is the distance from the selected strata to the ground surface, let Z = 0.5Z0.

[0110] Step S5: Based on the horizontal and vertical mechanical equilibrium equations in step S2, the friction force M x between soil column unit bodies in step S3, and the angle θ x between the horizontal direction and the thrust between soil column unit bodies in step S4, determine the vertical load P(x) of the tunnel arch.

[0111] Substitute formula (18) and formula (22) into formula (17), and transform the formula to obtain the vertical load P(x) of the tunnel arch in step S5:

[0112]

[0113] wherein: γ is the bulk density of the soil, H a is the distance from the ground to the vault, λ is the lateral pressure coefficient, is the calculated friction angle of the soil, i is the width of the settlement tank, Z is the distance from the selected stratum to the ground surface, Z = 0.5Z0.
