BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing a method for using the shield machine drag-reducing slurry for stacked tunnel construction according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The present invention will be described in detail below, and the characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become clearer and more distinct with the description.

[0040] The first aspect of the present invention is to provide a shield machine drag reduction slurry for stacked tunnel construction, wherein the shield machine drag reduction slurry for stacked tunnel construction comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0041] 70-90 parts by weight of bentonite;

[0042] Anhydrous Na2CO3 1-5 parts by weight;

[0043] 900-950 parts by weight of water.

[0044] Preferably, the shield machine drag reduction slurry for stacked tunnel construction comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0045] 80 parts by weight of bentonite;

[0046] Anhydrous Na2CO3 3 parts by weight;

[0047] Water: 920 parts by weight.

[0048] The drag-reducing mud for shield machine used for stacked tunnel construction also includes lubricant, and the added amount of the lubricant is 0.1-0.3% of the total weight of the drag-reducing mud for shield machine used for stacked tunnel construction.

[0049] Preferably, the amount of lubricant added is 0.2% of the total weight of the shield machine drag reduction mud used for stacked tunnel construction.

[0050] The lubricant is selected from one or more of carboxymethyl cellulose and soda ash. Preferably, the lubricant is carboxymethyl cellulose.

[0051] By adding lubricants, the lubricity of the drag-reducing slurry can be improved and enhanced, and the friction coefficient between the shield casing and the soil can be reduced.

[0052] The drag-reducing mud for shield machine used for stacked tunnel construction also includes nano materials, and the added amount of the nano materials is 1-3% of the total weight of the drag-reducing mud for shield machine used for stacked tunnel construction.

[0053] Preferably, the added amount of the nano material is 2% of the total weight of the shield machine drag reduction mud used for stacked tunnel construction.

[0054] The nano material is selected from one or both of nano silicon dioxide and nano clay. Preferably, the nano material is nano silicon dioxide.

[0055] The nano material added in the present invention can fill the tiny pores in the mud, improve the compactness and viscosity stability of the mud, thereby extending the service life of the lubricating layer. Adding 2% of nano SiO2 can improve the drag reduction performance of the mud by about 14%.

[0056] The second aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for using the shield machine drag reduction slurry for stacked tunnel construction according to the first aspect of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method of use comprises the following steps:

[0057] Step 1, weighing bentonite, sodium carbonate and water, mixing, stirring for reaction, and then standing for expansion to obtain drag-reducing mud;

[0058] Step 2: During the advancement of the shield machine, add drag-reducing slurry to the outside of the shield shell. When the segment is separated from the shield tail, perform secondary grouting, and perform grouting again every two rings.

[0059] The above steps are described in detail below.

[0060] In step 1, the weighed bentonite, sodium carbonate and water are mixed and stirred at room temperature for 0.5 to 1 hour to ensure that the raw materials are fully mixed.

[0061] Preferably, the reaction is stirred at room temperature for 0.5 to 0.8 h.

[0062] After stirring and reacting, the mixture is allowed to stand for 1 to 3 hours, preferably 1 to 2 hours. The mixture is allowed to stand for a period of time to form a drag reduction slurry with good thixotropy. During this process, the slurry undergoes expansion to form a slurry with excellent drag reduction effect.

[0063] Preferably, lubricant and nanomaterial are added to the statically expanded mud and mixed evenly to obtain drag-reducing mud.

[0064] In step 2, during the advancement of the shield machine, in order to ensure the settlement control after the shield construction so that it does not affect the use function, when the segment is separated from the shield tail 6 to 8 rings, secondary grouting should be carried out in time, and grouting should be carried out again every two rings.

[0065] In order to ensure the grouting amount, the grouting material will shrink. Therefore, the grouting must exceed the theoretical gap volume. However, excessive grouting will cause surface uplift or local grouting, which will also affect the stress state of the segment. The grouting amount each time should be 130% to 180% of the theoretical grouting amount. The excavation diameter of the shield cutter head in the project is generally 6.390m, and the outer diameter of the prefabricated reinforced concrete segment is generally 6.2m. Theoretically, for each ring of excavation, the theoretical volume of the gap between the space formed by the shield excavation and the outer wall of the segment (i.e., the theoretical grouting amount) is calculated according to formula (1):

[0066] V=π× (D1 2 -D2 2 ) / 4×L Formula (1);

[0067] In formula (1), D1 is the outer diameter of the cutterhead; D2 is the outer diameter of the segment; L is the excavation length of each ring.

[0068] The pressure of adding drag reduction slurry and grouting is calculated according to formula (2) and formula (3):

[0069]

[0070] σ z =γh=γ1h1+γ2h2+γ3h3 Formula (3).

[0071] In formula (2) and formula (3), γ is soil density, i.e., the gravity per unit soil mass; h is soil layer thickness; φ is internal friction angle; σ is pressure.

[0072] The grouting pressure is usually 0.1-0.45 MPa, and preferably, the grouting pressure is 0.15-0.3 MPa.

[0073] The amount of slurry added each time is usually 500-800L, preferably, the amount of slurry added each time is 600-700L.

[0074] For strata with different geological structures, the viscosity ratio of bentonite mud needs to be adjusted accordingly: for pure soil geological layers: 12% bentonite, 0.6% soda ash, and add an appropriate amount of 1 / 1000 cellulose; for loose geological layers: 12% bentonite, 1.0% soda ash, and add an appropriate amount of 1 / 1000 cellulose; for half sand and half soil layers: 12% bentonite, 1.5% soda ash, add an appropriate amount of 1 / 1000 cellulose and 1 / 1000 sodium salt; for pure sand geological layers: 18% bentonite, 3.0% soda ash, add an appropriate amount of 1 / 1000 cellulose and 1 / 1000 sodium salt; for rocky geological layers: 20% bentonite, 5.0% soda ash, add an appropriate amount of 1 / 1000 cellulose and 1 / 1000 sodium salt.

[0075] Example

[0076] The present invention is further described below by means of specific examples. These embodiments are only intended to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0077] Example 1

[0078] Weigh 80 parts by weight of bentonite, 3 parts by weight of anhydrous Na2CO3, and 920 parts by weight of water.

[0079] Mix the weighed bentonite, sodium carbonate and water, and stir to react for 0.5 to 0.8 hours at room temperature. After stirring to react, let it stand for 1 to 2 hours for expansion.

[0080] Add 2% of the total weight of the nano material nano silicon dioxide to the statically expanded mud, then add 0.2% of the total weight of the lubricant carboxymethyl cellulose to the mud, mix well, and obtain the drag reduction mud.

[0081] In order to ensure the settlement control after shield construction and not affect the use function, when the segment is out of the appropriate position of the shield tail (usually 6-8 rings), secondary grouting should be carried out in time, and grouting should be carried out again every two rings. The amount of grouting each time is calculated according to formula (1). The grouting amount is generally 600-700L. The actual grouting amount calculated according to formula (1) is 3-4.2m 3The grouting pressure is calculated according to formula (2) and formula (3). The grouting pressure is generally 0.15-0.3 MPa, and the flow rate and pressure are dual controlled.

[0082] To ensure the amount of grouting, taking the Shenyang urban area tunnel project as an example, the shield machine cutter head excavation diameter is 6.390m, and the outer diameter of the prefabricated reinforced concrete segment is 6.2m. Theoretically, for each ring of excavation, the theoretical volume of the gap between the space formed by the shield excavation and the outer wall of the segment is:

[0083] V=π× (D1 2 -D2 2 ) / 4×L Formula (1);

[0084] In formula (1), D1 is the outer diameter of the cutterhead; D2 is the outer diameter of the segment; L is the excavation length of each ring.

[0085] According to formula (1), the theoretical grouting volume V = 2.3m 3 The actual grouting volume is 130% to 180% of the theoretical building gap, that is, the actual grouting volume is: 3 to 4.2m 3 .

[0086] The grouting pressure should be controlled during the grouting process. Taking the strata of the tunnel in Shenyang as an example, from top to bottom, they are mixed fill soil, silty clay, medium-coarse sand, gravel sand, rounded gravel, gravel sand, and clay-containing rounded gravel layer. The mixed fill soil layer: γ = 19.2 kN / m 3 , φ=8°; fill layer: γ=19.1kN / m3, φ=8°, c=10KP, silty clay layer: γ=19.8kN / m 3 , φ=12°, c=12KPa; gravel layer: γ=20.5kN / m 3 , φ=35°; gravel sand layer: γ=20kN / m 3 , φ=40°, the injection pressure of the mud (the pressure of adding drag-reducing mud and grouting) is generally slightly higher than the soil pressure in the soil bin.

[0087] Calculate the soil bulk density according to γ=20kN / m 3 The soil pressure is calculated using the Rankine theory.

[0088]

[0089] σ z =γh=γ1h1+γ2h2+γ3h3 Formula (3).

[0090] In formula (2) and formula (3), γ: soil weight, that is, the gravity of unit soil; γ1, γ2, γ3 represent the soil weight of each soil layer; h: soil layer thickness; h1, h2, h3 represent the thickness of each soil layer; φ: internal friction angle; C: cohesion, σ a : Grouting pressure, σz : Calculate the intermediate pressure.

[0091] Example 2

[0092] The drag reduction slurry was used in a manner similar to that of Example 1, except that 70 parts by weight of bentonite, 5 parts by weight of anhydrous Na2CO3, and 950 parts by weight of water were weighed.

[0094] The drag reduction slurry was used in a similar manner to Example 1, except that 90 parts by weight of bentonite, 1 part by weight of anhydrous Na2CO3, and 900 parts by weight of water were weighed.

[0095] The present invention has been described in detail above in conjunction with specific implementations and exemplary examples, but these descriptions cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art understand that, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, a variety of equivalent substitutions, modifications or improvements may be made to the technical solution of the present invention and its implementation methods, all of which fall within the scope of the present invention.
