Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel support, in particular to an expansive loess tunnel support method based on bottom vertical steel anchor rods. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of science and technology and the process of urban modernization in my country, more and more people are pouring into urban life and development. This requires that my country's transportation network must be more and more developed to meet the requirements of urbanization in my country. The development of underground space will be the focus of my country's urban development. Rail transit shuttling between cities is also an important part of my country's transportation network. my country is a mountainous country, which will inevitably require the development of mountain tunneling projects. In some cities in my country's loess distribution areas, it has become a major problem to build mountain tunnels and underground subway projects. After the excavation of the expansive loess tunnel, the initial ground stress release speed of the surrounding rock is fast and the deformation is large, resulting in large deformation of the sprayed anchor support structure and the invert structure, which is easy to crack and damage. Usually, the initial support of the expansive loess tunnel construction adopts radial anchor rods, steel arch frames and sprayed concrete combined support measures, and the base is reinforced with cement-based piles such as rotary jet piles and root piles.

[0003] Cement-based piles require on-site drilling before pouring or spraying for their strength. It takes nearly a month for the strength to develop to reach the designed strength. One hour or one day after the pile foundation is constructed, its tensile strength is very low or even close to 0. The deformation rate of the surrounding rock after excavation of the expansive loess tunnel is fast. Without support measures, the bottom surrounding rock can be uplifted and deformed by more than 10 cm after one hour. If cement-based piles such as jet grouting piles and root piles are used for reinforcement, the base uplift deformation can be reduced under the premise that the tensile strength is large enough without fracture. However, as mentioned above, due to the slow strength development of cement-based piles, its tensile strength is basically 0 after one hour of pouring, which is completely unable to play the role of reinforcing the base surrounding rock. On the contrary, the pile body will be broken due to the uplift deformation of the surrounding rock, losing its design function and application value.

[0004] After excavation of expansive loess tunnels, the deformation rate of the surrounding rock is fast and the deformation value is large. The tunnel body sprayed anchor support and the base arch structure have large convergence and uplift deformation and are prone to cracking. The conventional tunnel body radial anchor rods and base cement foundation piles cannot exert their tensile bearing capacity in time due to their slow strength development. Under the action of rapid uplift deformation of the base surrounding rock, the pile body is easily broken and loses its design function and application value, and the construction and operation safety cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, a support method for expansive loess tunnels based on bottom vertical steel anchor rods is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0026] Judgment criteria: The comparative effect analysis of the embodiment of the present invention and other support methods is conducted through a comprehensive analysis of four aspects: calculation conditions, calculation conditions, calculation model and calculation results.

[0027] 1. Calculation conditions: The surrounding rock of the expansive loess tunnel is V grade, the burial depth is 40m, the maximum span of the tunnel excavation is 7.87m, the height is 11.45m, the lining adopts a composite lining, the initial support C25 shotcrete is 23cm thick, the secondary lining C35 concrete is 40mm thick, the longitudinal spacing of the steel arch frame I16 steel is 0.8m, the side wall is equipped with a 3m long Φ25 ordinary hollow anchor rod, the locking foot anchor pipe Φ42mm wall thickness 5mm hot-rolled seamless steel pipe, the invert C35 concrete, the invert backfill C20 concrete, see the present invention Figure 2 Tunnel structure section and tunnel support design drawings.

[0028] 2. Calculation conditions: The comparative calculation conditions are shown in Table 1.

[0029] Table 1 is as follows: 3. Computational model: Numerical calculation model such as Figure 3 As shown; the calculation results are as follows Figure 4 shown.

[0030] 4. Calculation results: The calculation results and comparison are shown in Table 2.

[0031] Table 2 is as follows: Note: Safety factor in the table = tensile strength / maximum tensile stress From Table 2, we can see that: The present invention (working condition 2) can reduce the uplift deformation of the base surrounding rock from 408 mm to 48 mm, which is within the allowable range of construction safety. Under the three cement-based pile reinforcement methods, the uplift value can be controlled within the safe range without breaking the pile body. However, since the pile body is subjected to large tensile stress in the early stage of construction and breaks, the function of controlling deformation cannot be achieved.

[0032] It can be seen from Table 2 that after one day of construction, only the tensile safety factor of the base reinforcement component in Condition 2 of the present invention is greater than 1, and the safety factors of other cement-based pile components are all less than 1, indicating that tensile failure has occurred. The data in Table 2 show that the support method of the present invention is also significantly better than other methods for the deformation of the initial support structure. In summary, the support method for the construction of loess tunnels based on vertical steel anchor rods proposed in the present invention has excellent bearing capacity and can ensure the safety of tunnel construction and the reliability of the structure.

[0033] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the support method for the expansive loess tunnel based on the bottom vertical steel anchor rod, the support method for the expansive loess tunnel based on the bottom vertical steel anchor rod, the present invention proposes a support method of promptly applying the vertical steel anchor rod at the bottom after the expansive loess tunnel is excavated, utilizing the property that the steel has a high tensile strength and can promptly exert the tensile function, promptly applying the vertical steel anchor rod after the base construction excavation, promptly controlling the uplift deformation of the surrounding rock, and preventing the pile body from breaking, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the construction and operation of the expansive loess tunnel throughout its life cycle; the support method of promptly applying the vertical steel anchor rod at the bottom in addition to the radial anchor rod support in the tunnel body after the excavation of the expansive loess tunnel, utilizing the property that the steel has a high tensile strength, promptly controlling the uplift deformation of the surrounding rock, and preventing the pile body from breaking, and at the same time, the base vertical steel anchor rod has the significant advantages of small construction space, convenient operation, high work efficiency and easy guarantee of construction quality compared with cement foundation piles, therefore, the present invention has significant innovation and engineering application value.
