Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel engineering, and in particular to an active fault zone TBM excavation and segment stress characteristic experimental device and method. Background Art
[0002] The full-face tunnel boring machine (TBM) has been widely used in various tunnel excavation due to its advantages of fast excavation speed, high degree of automation, safety and environmental protection. However, the tunnel route selection is inevitably faced with adverse geology, especially in the mountainous areas in western my country, where many deep and large active faults are developed. TBM excavation often leads to major geological disasters such as tunnel surrounding rock collapse, water and mud inrush, etc., which cause TBM jamming or even burying. TBM excavation faces huge safety risks, which seriously restricts the normal use of TBM. Therefore, it is urgent to study the excavation mechanical response of TBM in the whole process of crossing the fault fracture zone and the jamming problem caused by the deformation and instability of the surrounding rock. At present, there are indoor micro-TBM excavation model test devices that can be used for TBM excavation tests in uniform strata, simple composite strata, and strata with bonded interfaces, such as the micro-TBM excavation model test platform of the State Key Laboratory of Shield and Excavation Technology and the micro-shield excavation model platform of Southwest Jiaotong University. Similar material samples are artificially laid in the model box, and different material interfaces or soft materials with low strength and a certain thickness are used to simulate faults. Therefore, a large number of secondary cracks and fractured damaged rock masses generated in the rock mass on both sides of the fault surface during the compression or tension formation of natural faults are not considered, and these secondary cracks and broken rock masses are often important factors that cause TBM jams. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a physical model test device that can simulate the fracture surface morphology and damaged areas on both sides of the fracture surface produced in the process of shear rupture formation of faults under different stress conditions, and at the same time can carry out TBM excavation. It is used to reveal the technical research on the mechanical response, jamming mechanism and safety control of TBM excavation after the formation and reactivation of fault shear rupture, including the excavation mechanical characteristics of open TBM, single shield TBM and double shield TBM when crossing the fault plane and section crushing zone, and the stress characteristics of support segments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0014] Example:
[0015] An experimental device for TBM excavation and segment stress characteristics in an active fault zone, comprising: a fault prefabricated model box, a TBM excavation system, a TBM slag discharge system and a TBM support system. The fault prefabricated model box is used to make similar material samples.

The reaction cover plate 3 and a detachable side baffle 39 are both connected to the L-shaped reaction frame 1 by bolts, and all cylinders can be loaded individually or in groups. The left side loading plate 6 and the right side loading plate 7 connected to the two sides of the similar material rock sample 36, the multiple spliced top loading plates 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 connected to the top surface of the similar material rock sample 36, and the multiple spliced bottom loading plates 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 connected to the bottom surface of the similar material rock sample 36, wherein the detachable top loading plates and bottom loading plates are centrally symmetrical about the centroid of the circular tunnel excavation boundary 18. All different detachable loading plates are used to make faults with different inclination angles. The front baffle 19 and the rear baffle 20 connected to the similar material rock sample 36 and with excavated holes are used to provide front and rear constraints of the similar material rock sample 36 respectively.
[0022] The micro-TBM excavation system includes a support guide platform 21 for supporting the micro-TBM excavation and support system, and the micro-TBM body includes a cutter head 22, a front shield 23, a rear shield 24, and a disc cutter 25 installed on the cutter head 22. The micro-TBM slewing mechanism includes a slewing bearing 26 connected to the cutter head 22 and passing through a fixed bracket 29, a hydraulic motor 27 for providing slewing torque, and a gearbox 28 for controlling different speeds.

The propulsion mechanism of the micro-TBM includes a hydraulic main propulsion cylinder 30 connected to the fixed bracket 29, and the other end of the hydraulic main propulsion cylinder 30 is connected to a segment ring 32 containing a segment annular joint 41.

[0024] The micro-TBM support system includes a segment ring 32 composed of an arc segment 31 and a key block segment 42 and connected to the shield tail of the rear shield 24, and the last segment ring is connected to the hydraulic main propulsion cylinder 30. The segment ring 32 forms a longitudinal gap 40 in the longitudinal axis direction, and an annular gap 41 is formed between the segment rings 32.
[0025] This embodiment also provides a method for prefabricating a fault fracture zone and testing the excavation performance of a micro-TBM. The physical model sample can prefabricate two types of faults with different occurrences. One type is that the fault strike is parallel to the excavation direction of the micro-TBM, that is, faults with different dips appear in the excavation cross section. The other type is that the fault strike is perpendicular to the excavation direction of the micro-TBM, that is, faults with different dips appear in the excavation longitudinal section. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The schematic diagrams are respectively the loading plate and the cylinder configuration method for prefabricating faults with different inclination angles in the cross section and the longitudinal section. The following is a detailed description of the prefabrication method of faults with different inclination angles in the cross section.
[0026] Continue to refer Figure 3 , Step 1, adjust the upper end surface of the bottom vertical loading cylinder 5 to the same level, and then lay the bottom loading plates 13-17 in sequence. According to the fault positions with different inclination angles, the bottom loading plates at specific fault surfaces are not connected, and other bottom loading plates are connected by bolts.
[0027] In the second step, bolts are used to install the left side loading plate 6 and the adjacent bottom loading plate 17, and bolts are used to connect the right side loading plate 7 and the bottom loading plate 13. The front baffle 19 and the rear baffle 20 can be connected to the side loading plate 7 and the bottom loading plate 13 by bolts using transparent high-strength tempered glass of a certain thickness, thereby forming a model box body closed on all sides. Then, similar materials are slowly filled and compacted layer by layer until they reach the top surface of the model box, and the top loading plates 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are installed in sequence. The top loading plates are not connected at the set fracture surface position, and other positions are connected by bolts. For example Figure 3 In the 60° fault plane 37 in the middle cross section, no connection is used at the bottom loading plates 15 and 16, and no connection is used at the top loading plates 10 and 11.
[0028] Step 3: Install the reaction cover plate 3 with the top vertical loading cylinder 4 and the side baffle 39 to complete the assembly of the fault model box.
[0029] In step 4, the horizontal loading cylinder 2 is uniformly loaded to the target stress according to the set load size, and then the bottom vertical cylinder 5 below the predetermined shear fracture surface is retracted to leave movement space for the loading plate, and the positions of other bottom vertical cylinders are not adjusted. The top vertical loading cylinder 4 above the specific fault fracture surface is loaded according to the displacement loading mode until the sample breaks, at which time the fault surface and fault fracture zone are prefabricated. During the loading process of the top vertical loading cylinder 4, relative sliding occurs between the left side loading plate 6 and the horizontal loading cylinder 2. Therefore, a ball contact is set at the end of the horizontal loading cylinder 2 to reduce the end friction resistance.
[0030] Continue to refer Figure 2 and Figure 3 After the fault models of different occurrences are completed, the micro-TBM excavation and support process is carried out. Step 1, start the hydraulic motor 27, drive the cutter head 22 to rotate through the slewing bearing 26, and then start the hydraulic main propulsion cylinder 30 to push the rear shield 24 to make the whole machine move forward to cut the model sample, until the cutter head 22, the front shield 23 and the rear shield 24 all enter the model sample at a distance slightly less than one ring of segments. The thrust and torque of the cutter head during the excavation process will be collected in real time. Step 2, stop the rotation of the cutter head 22, retract the hydraulic main propulsion cylinder 30, and then install a ring of segments at the tail of the rear shield 24, and continue to extend the hydraulic main propulsion cylinder 30 to push on the newly installed segments. Step 3, repeat steps 1 and 2 until the excavation reaches the predetermined position behind the fault fracture zone.
[0031] In view of the fault activation after excavation, when the micro-TBM crosses the fault, the loading cylinder that originally broke is continuously loaded by displacement loading, so that the upper and lower plates of the fault plane are displaced. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The relative sliding distance generated by the fault plane squeezes the TBM cutterhead 22, front shield 23, rear shield 24 and segment ring 32, which may cause a machine jam in severe cases, thereby revealing the mechanical properties of the TBM and segments in the activated fault.
[0032] The fault model loading prefabrication method and TBM excavation performance test for the case where the strike of the fault with different inclination angles is perpendicular to the excavation direction are similar to the above steps. In order to observe the fault rupture morphology in the longitudinal section, the front baffle 19 and the rear baffle 20 can be replaced with steel plates with holes, and the side baffle 39 can be made of high-strength transparent tempered glass material to observe the damage characteristics of the fault in the longitudinal section.
[0033] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
