[0015] According to the tunnel initial support process of the railway engineering, the beneficial effects are:

[0016] 1. Improve the timeliness and effectiveness of support

[0017] Immediately after tunnel excavation, danger is removed and initial shotcrete is performed, which can quickly close the rock mass, prevent its relaxation and deformation, effectively control the early deformation of the surrounding rock, and enhance the stability of the surrounding rock, providing safety protection for subsequent construction.

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the following will combine the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] The following will describe in detail a tunnel primary support process of a railway engineering of the present application through specific embodiments, including a construction preparation stage, primary concrete construction, mortar anchor rod or hollow anchor rod construction, steel mesh laying, steel frame construction, advanced small guide pipe construction, anchor rod construction, advanced pipe shed construction, construction monitoring and adjustment, and quality control and inspection.

[0037] 1. Construction preparation stage

[0038] Assemble a professional primary support construction team, and provide comprehensive technical training to the construction personnel to make them familiar with the process, technical points, quality standards and safety precautions of the tunnel primary support technology, and also provide detailed safety briefing to improve the safety awareness and operation standardization of the construction personnel.

[0039] Prepare advanced and stable performance construction equipment, such as handheld wind drill, wet sprayer, grouting pump, anchor rod drill, electric welder, etc. Before the equipment arrives, conduct strict inspection and debugging to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition and the performance indicators meet the construction requirements. Reasonably plan the equipment parking and operation area on the construction site to ensure convenient use and orderly operation of the equipment during construction.

[0040] Strictly select and test the raw materials. The steel shall meet the national standard, and its material quality, specification and other parameters shall meet the design requirements. The mechanical properties of the steel are tested to ensure the reliability of the steel quality. The cement selected is ordinary portland cement with stable quality and strength grade not less than 42.5. The stability, setting time and strength of the cement are tested. The sand is medium-coarse sand with hard texture and cleanliness, and the clay content is not more than 3%. The particle size distribution of the sand is determined to meet the requirements through the screening test. The stone particle size is not more than 15mm, with hard texture and good gradation, and the crushing index is not more than the specified value. The needle-like particle content and clay content of the stone are strictly controlled. The accelerator and other additives shall be strictly selected and tested to ensure their stable performance, good compatibility with raw materials such as cement, and the dosage is determined according to the test results and design requirements, generally 3%-5% of the weight of cement. A special material storage site is set up on the construction site to store different types and specifications of raw materials, and effective measures are taken to prevent moisture, rain and rust to ensure that the quality of raw materials is not affected during storage.

[0041] 2. Initial concrete spraying construction

[0042] After the tunnel excavation is completed, experienced risk removal personnel are quickly organized to enter the work site. The risk removal personnel wear complete safety protection articles, use appropriate tools such as crowbar and air pick, and carefully remove the loose rock blocks on the surface of the surrounding rock in the order of from outside to inside, top first and then both sides. During the risk removal process, the changes of the surrounding rock are closely observed, and if any abnormal sound or rock falling is found, the work is immediately stopped, and appropriate safety protection measures are taken to ensure the safety of the construction personnel.

[0043] The initial concrete operation is carried out immediately after the risk removal operation. A special concrete mixing station is set up outside the tunnel, and a forced mixer is used for centralized mixing. According to the mixing ratio of the designed concrete, the amount of cement, sand, gravel, water and accelerator is accurately measured to ensure that the workability, strength and durability of the concrete meet the requirements of the initial support. During the mixing process, the mixing time is strictly controlled to ensure that the raw materials are fully mixed and uniform, and the concrete color is consistent and there is no segregation phenomenon.

[0044] The concrete transport vehicle is selected to have good condition and good tank sealing performance. During transportation, the tank is kept rotating at a uniform speed to prevent segregation and excessive loss of slump during transportation. After the concrete is transported to the construction site in the tunnel, the slump is immediately detected. If the slump does not meet the requirements, it is adjusted or treated in time, and unqualified concrete is strictly prohibited.

[0045] The wet spraying machine is fully inspected and adjusted before spraying to ensure stable spraying pressure and flexible adjustment of spraying angle. During the spraying operation, the spraying pressure is adjusted according to the surface condition of the surrounding rock and the spraying distance, generally controlled between 0.3-0.5MPa, the spraying angle is kept perpendicular or slightly inclined to the sprayed surface, and the nozzle distance from the sprayed surface is 0.8-1.2m. According to the order from bottom to top and from both sides to the middle, the concrete is sprayed in layers, the thickness of each layer is controlled between 3-5cm, and the interval time of each layer is 3-5 minutes to ensure that the concrete of the previous layer is fully cured before the next layer is sprayed to avoid concrete hollowing, falling off and other phenomena. During the spraying process, the operator closely observes the concrete spraying situation and adjusts the spraying parameters in time according to the spraying effect to ensure that the concrete is sprayed uniformly and densely, there is no interruption or concrete accumulation, the initial concrete thickness is not less than the design value, and the rock mass is effectively sealed to prevent relaxation deformation.

[0046] 3. Mortar anchor rod or hollow anchor rod construction

[0047] A handheld air drill is used for drilling operation, and the air drill operator needs to be professionally trained and familiar with the operation method and safety precautions of the air drill. Before drilling, the drilling position is accurately marked on the surface of the surrounding rock according to the design requirements of the anchor rod position, angle and depth. During drilling, the drilling speed and pressure of the air drill are controlled and adjusted in time according to the hardness of the surrounding rock to ensure smooth drilling, smooth hole wall and no obvious collapse phenomenon. The drilling depth is 3-5cm longer than the design length of the anchor rod to ensure sufficient anchoring length after the anchor rod is installed.

[0048] After the drilling is completed, the hole is thoroughly cleaned with high-pressure air or water to remove rock powder, debris and accumulated water, ensuring that the hole is clean and dry, creating good conditions for the installation of the anchor rod and grouting. The processed and quality-qualified anchor rod and positioning ring are carefully inserted into the hole. During the insertion process, the rod body and positioning ring should not be damaged, and the rod body should be positioned at the center of the hole, with a uniform spacing of the positioning ring, generally 0.5-1m, to ensure the stability of the anchor rod in the hole.

[0049] The grouting pump is debugged and checked before use to ensure that the grouting pressure is stable and the flow is adjustable. According to the design requirements, the appropriate grouting material, such as early strength cement mortar or mortar, is selected and prepared according to the specified mix ratio to ensure that the properties of the slurry, such as consistency and strength, meet the requirements. During the grouting process, the grouting pipe is inserted into the hole bottom and the slurry is slowly injected. The grouting pipe is pulled out at a uniform speed while the hole opening is closely observed to prevent slurry overflow or leakage, ensuring that the slurry fills the hole space and tightly combines with the anchor rod and surrounding rock. After the cement mortar is finally set, the hole opening pad is installed. The pad installation should be flat, firm and perpendicular to the anchor rod, and the nut should be tightened to ensure that the pad is tightly attached to the surrounding rock, and the anchoring force of the anchor rod is evenly transmitted to the surrounding rock.

[0050] 4. Steel mesh laying

[0051] In the steel member processing site, the steel mesh is carefully processed according to the accurate specifications of the design using professional equipment such as a steel cutting machine and a bending machine. The cutting tool of the steel cutting machine should be sharp to ensure accurate steel cutting length with an error of not more than ±5mm. The mold of the bending machine should be customized according to the shape and size of the steel mesh required by the design to ensure accurate steel bending angle and consistent curvature. The grid size deviation of the processed steel mesh should not exceed ±5mm, and the shape should be regular.

[0052] After the initial spraying of concrete, the processed steel mesh is manually transported to the work surface. During the transportation process, the steel mesh should be protected to avoid deformation or damage. When laying the steel mesh, according to the shape of the surrounding rock surface and the arrangement of the anchor rod and steel frame, the steel mesh is laid flat on the initial spraying concrete surface, ensuring that the steel mesh maintains a distance of 3-5cm from the sprayed surface, and the overlapping length between adjacent steel meshes is not less than 1 grid length, generally 15-20cm. The overlapping parts are connected by spot welding or firm binding, and the spot welding or binding point spacing should not be greater than 20cm to ensure that the steel mesh is firmly connected as a whole without loosening or displacement. The steel mesh should follow the natural undulations of the sprayed surface and should not be forcibly pulled or twisted to ensure that the steel mesh is tightly attached to the surrounding rock and can jointly bear the force during the spraying of concrete. During the spraying of concrete, a dedicated person is arranged to observe the condition of the steel mesh at any time. Once it is found that a stone or concrete block is stuck by the steel mesh, it should be immediately cleaned with a tool to ensure that the spraying of concrete proceeds smoothly and the steel mesh can fully play its role in reinforcing the surrounding rock.

[0053] 5. Steel frame construction

[0054] Steel procurement is strictly in accordance with the design requirements, the selection of good reputation, reliable quality suppliers to ensure that the steel material, specifications, etc. in line with national standards and design requirements. Steel into the field, according to the batch of strict sampling inspection, inspection content includes steel chemical composition analysis, mechanical properties testing (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, impact toughness, etc.) and appearance quality inspection (surface cracks, folding, rust and other defects). The unqualified steel sampling is firmly rejected, and is strictly prohibited for construction.

[0055] Steel frame using cold bending forming technology, according to the tunnel design contour line to produce high-precision cold bending die, die radius, size should be consistent with the design requirements, to ensure that the steel frame after cold bending forming good consistency, deviation not more than ± 1 cm, closely with the tunnel design contour line. In the cold bending process, control the operating parameters of the cold bending equipment, such as bending speed, pressure, etc. to ensure that the steel frame is not damaged during cold bending, and the surface of the steel frame after cold bending is smooth, without obvious wrinkles or deformation.

[0056] The grid steel frame adopts the membrane welding process, and the membrane should be strictly made according to the 1:1 sample to ensure the size and shape of the membrane. During welding, skilled and experienced welders are selected to operate, and welding current, voltage, welding speed and other parameters are strictly controlled to ensure reliable welding quality, full and uniform weld, no pores, slag, cracks and other defects, and the connection between parts is tight, and the node welding strength meets the design requirements.

[0057] Before the installation of the steel frame, the tunnel excavation contour is accurately measured, and the installation position of the steel frame is determined according to the measurement results. In the installation process, the distance between adjacent steel frames is strictly controlled, with an error of not more than ± 5 cm, to ensure uniform arrangement of the steel frame. The verticality of the steel frame is measured using high-precision measuring instruments such as total station, and the verticality deviation of each steel frame after installation is not more than ± 1°, to ensure that the steel frame is installed vertically and stably. High-strength bolts are used to connect between the steel frames, and the specifications and types of the bolts should meet the design requirements. During installation, the bolt tightening torque is ensured to reach the design value, and torque wrench is used for inspection to prevent bolt loosening and affect the overall stability of the steel frame.

[0058] During the removal of temporary supports, a detailed removal plan should be developed, and a reasonable removal sequence and safety protection measures should be adopted to avoid damage to the completed support structure. After removal, a full-section measurement system should be established promptly. The layout of measurement points should be representative, with a spacing of no more than 5 meters, to accurately reflect the deformation of the surrounding rock. High-precision monitoring equipment such as total stations and convergence meters should be used for data acquisition. The data acquisition frequency should be determined according to the deformation of the surrounding rock; generally, the acquisition frequency should be appropriately increased when the deformation is large to ensure accurate and timely measurement data. The collected data should be analyzed and processed promptly. Based on the analysis results, the stability of the surrounding rock and the effectiveness of the support structure should be judged, providing a reliable basis for subsequent construction and allowing for timely adjustments to the lining construction time to ensure tunnel construction safety.

[0059] 6. Advanced small-diameter pipe construction

[0060] Handheld pneumatic drills are used for pre-drilling of small guide pipes. Drill operators must possess skilled operation techniques and extensive experience. Before drilling, the drilling positions are accurately marked on the tunnel face according to the design requirements for the layout, length, spacing, and external insertion angle of the small guide pipes. During drilling, the drilling direction and angle of the pneumatic drill are strictly controlled to ensure that the drilling angle matches the designed external insertion angle with an error not exceeding ±1°. The drilling depth meets the design requirements. Hot-rolled seamless steel pipes with a diameter of 42-50mm and a length of 3-5m are used to ensure that the small guide pipes can be accurately driven into the predetermined positions in the surrounding rock, providing a good channel for subsequent grouting reinforcement.

[0061] The fabrication of the small guide pipes strictly adheres to design requirements, ensuring that parameters such as diameter, wall thickness, and length meet specifications. The front end of the steel pipe is machined into a tapered shape for easy insertion into the surrounding rock, and a grout stop valve is welded to the rear end to prevent grout backflow during the grouting process. The layout, length, and spacing of the small guide pipes should be rationally arranged based on the geological conditions of the surrounding rock and the tunnel design requirements to ensure uniform and effective grouting reinforcement.

[0062] The grouting material should be a suitable cement grout, with the water-cement ratio adjusted according to the surrounding rock conditions and design requirements, generally between 0.8:1 and 1:1. In special cases such as fractured surrounding rock or well-developed groundwater, a cement + water glass dual-liquid grout may be used, with a volume ratio of cement grout to water glass grout of 1:0.8, and the grout strength grade not less than M10. Before grouting, the grouting equipment should be thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure that the grouting pump is stable, the pressure is adjustable, and the grouting pipe connections are secure and leak-free.

[0063] During the grouting process, the grouting pipe is tightly connected with the small catheter to ensure the smooth grouting passage. When starting grouting, slowly apply pressure and gradually increase the grouting speed, control the grouting pressure between 0.5-1.0 MPa, avoid excessive grouting pressure causing excessive disturbance to the surrounding rock, and at the same time ensure that the slurry can diffuse uniformly in the surrounding rock. Observe the grouting situation closely, and adjust the grouting parameters such as grouting pressure, grouting speed, slurry ratio, etc. in time according to the slurry diffusion and surrounding rock feedback. When the surrounding rock absorbs a large amount of slurry, intermittent grouting method can be used, and the interval time between each grouting is 10-15 minutes, so that the slurry has a certain diffusion time in the surrounding rock, and the grouting reinforcement effect is improved. After grouting, check the grouting effect by drilling core taking and other methods, observe the filling situation of the slurry in the surrounding rock, and ensure that the slurry is filled fully to achieve the expected reinforcement effect.

[0064] 7. Anchor rod construction

[0065] According to the design requirements, select the mortar anchor rod or hollow anchor rod, the mortar anchor rod is processed by high-quality threaded steel, to ensure that the rod diameter is not less than 20 mm, and the length meets the design requirements. The material of the threaded steel should meet the national standard, and its mechanical properties such as yield strength and tensile strength meet the design requirements. During the processing, the length, diameter and other size accuracy of the anchor rod are strictly controlled to ensure the processing quality.

[0066] Use anchor rod drill or rock drill for hole drilling operation. Before drilling, the operator should accurately mark the drilling position on the surrounding rock surface according to the anchor rod position, angle and depth required by the design. During the hole drilling process, control the drilling speed and pressure of the drill or rock drill to ensure that the drilling position and the rod body insertion angle meet the design requirements, and strictly control the water quantity to prevent hole collapse. The drilling depth is 5-10 cm longer than the design length of the anchor rod. After inserting the anchor rod, pour the mortar with M30 or above to ensure that the anchoring length meets the design requirements. The length of the hollow anchor rod meets the design requirements. When installing, insert the anchor rod into the hole, connect the grouting pipe, inject the cement slurry, and ensure that the rod body closely fits the hole wall to play an effective supporting role.

[0067] 8. Advance pipe shed construction

[0068] The pipe shed is made of hot-rolled seamless steel pipe that meets the quality standards, and the pipe diameter is selected according to the design requirements. When the stratum conditions permit, the hole drilling and pipe insertion process is used. Before drilling, accurately determine the drilling position, angle and depth according to the pipe shed design parameters, use professional drilling equipment for construction to ensure drilling accuracy, the drilling diameter is 20-30 mm larger than the pipe diameter of the pipe shed, and the drilling depth meets the design requirements. When inserting the pipe, accurately hit the steel pipe into the surrounding rock along the design specified outer insertion angle of the tunnel periphery, the pipe shed joint uses screw connection, the screw length reaches the specified size, and the adjacent pipe joints are staggered by a certain distance as required to ensure firm connection.

[0069] When the geological conditions are complex, the pipe-roofing drilling technology is adopted. During construction, the casing and drill pipe are drilled at the same time, the drilling speed and pressure are controlled to ensure the smooth progress of the casing and the good cooperation with the drill pipe. After the hole is formed, the drill pipe is removed, the pipe shed is jacked, and the outer casing is pulled out. After the installation of the pipe shed is completed, pressure grouting is carried out, the grouting pressure and grouting volume are determined according to the design requirements to ensure that the grout in the pipe shed is filled densely, and the pipe shed structure is stable and reliable.

[0070] 9. Construction monitoring and adjustment

[0071] During the whole process of initial support construction of the tunnel, a perfect surrounding rock deformation monitoring system is established. The monitoring points are arranged reasonably around the tunnel, high-precision monitoring equipment such as total station and convergence meter is used to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the monitoring data. The arrangement of monitoring points should cover different geological conditions and support structure parts, and can fully reflect the deformation of surrounding rock.

[0072] The monitoring is carried out according to the specified frequency. Generally, the collection frequency is appropriately increased when the surrounding rock deformation is large. The collected data is analyzed and processed in real time, professional data analysis software is used to draw deformation curves and analyze deformation trends. When the monitoring data shows that the surrounding rock deformation is abnormal, such as the displacement rate exceeds the reasonable range or the deformation curve appears mutation, the construction is immediately suspended.

[0073] Professional technicians are organized to analyze the reasons in depth, which may include geological changes, unreasonable support parameters, construction technology problems, etc. According to the analysis results, the support parameters are quickly and scientifically adjusted, such as increasing the number of anchor rods, adjusting the spacing of anchor rods, strengthening the support strength of steel frame, changing the grouting parameters, etc. The adjusted support scheme needs to be implemented after being demonstrated by experts or approved by relevant departments to ensure the safety of tunnel construction.

[0074] 10. Quality control and inspection
