Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of civil engineering, in particular to a segmented stiffness collaborative design method for an underwater suspended tunnel. BACKGROUND

[0002] The underwater suspended tunnel (SFT) is a competitive structure for crossing deep straits, complex seabed geological conditions, and complex navigation conditions. It has strong concealment, high stability, and stable stress, but it is highly dependent on hydrogeological conditions. Deep straits or too bumpy geological conditions will greatly affect the construction difficulty. For an overwater sea-crossing bridge, it has mature construction technology, safe driving, and high ornamental value, but it is highly sensitive to the operating environment. In high sea waves, complex navigation requirements, and high wind load, it will have a greater impact on the safety of the structure.

[0003] After the concept of the underwater suspended tunnel was proposed, there were gradually some idealized designs, research on external load types, research on pipe section forms and wave load, and research on various detailed structures. After years of exploration, the research on external structures has become mature, and scholars have gradually shifted their research direction from the outside to the inside, from research to design. They have studied the stress characteristics of the inner wall of the underwater suspended tunnel, the dynamic response of the tunnel structure in the event of an accident, the design of the underwater breakwater of the underwater suspended tunnel, the working state of the joint structure of the suspended tunnel, the seismic performance of the underwater suspended tunnel including the mechanical properties of the joint, and the influence of the stiffness change of the joint structure on the dynamic response of the tunnel pipe under wave action.

[0004] From the existing research results, it can be seen that the pipe stiffness, joint stiffness, and anchor stiffness of the underwater suspended tunnel have a great influence on its dynamic response and safety and comfort of traffic. Studies have shown that under appropriate anchor pre-tensioning conditions (i.e., different initial stiffness of anchor configuration conditions), uniform internal forces can be generated to achieve full utilization of materials and obtain a more moderate structure displacement curve. Under appropriate joint stiffness, higher comfort and higher economy can be achieved.

[0005] Therefore, a reasonable pipe stiffness, anchor stiffness, and joint stiffness design method is the key to the safety and comfort of the underwater suspended tunnel. However, there is currently no research on the configuration of joint structure stiffness, anchor stiffness, and pipe stiffness.

[0074]

[0075] K c,i = f i (p) / Δ i = f i (p) / (g i (x)-δ tube )(3)

[0076] wherein: f i,side (x) represents the total vertical load allocated to the anchor cable group i of the side span section after the tunnel is segmented; f i,mid (x) represents the total vertical load allocated to the anchor cable group i of the midspan section after the tunnel is segmented; C side represents the correction parameter of the total vertical load allocated to the anchor cable i of the side span section; s represents the length of the pipe section of the segmented tunnel; p(x) represents the load function borne by the tunnel, which is equivalent to q when the load is uniform load; x represents the transverse coordinate, with one end of the tunnel as the starting point and the other end as the terminal point; f i (p) represents the total vertical load borne by the anchor cable group i under the load function p; Δ i represents the maximum deflection of a single pipe section that meets the design requirement deformation function g(x) of the pipe section under the load function p.

[0079] The formula for calculating the cross-sectional area of the anchor cable at each position under the fixed material is as follows:

[0080] k c,i = E c A c = {K c,i l c / 2sin 2 α,K c,i l c / 2cos 2 α} Max (4)

[0083] The algorithm used is shown in the following formulas 5-7:

[0084] θ H,V = q H,V l 3 / 12(2+K JH,JV l / EI H,V )EI H,V (5)

[0087] S8: Joint axial stiffness calculation, the main component of the joint axial stiffness is GINA water stop, and the stiffness of the water stop is determined by the water pressure used in the underwater suspended tunnel;

[0088] The joint axial stiffness is calculated as follows in equation 8:

[0089] K u = 2πR GINA k u (8)

[0090] Wherein: K u represents the joint axial stiffness; R GINA represents the radius of the GINA water stop; k u represents the axial stiffness per unit length of the GINA water stop.

[0091] S9: The shear stiffness of the joint structure is calculated as the ratio of the total force on the single pipe section to the shear displacement limit of the joint structure;

[0092] The shear stiffness of the joint structure is calculated as follows in equation 9:

[0093] K q = ql / Δ q,design (9)

[0094] Wherein: K q represents the joint shear stiffness; Δ q,design represents the maximum shear deformation limit of the joint.

[0095] S10: The torque on the joint due to horizontal displacement is calculated from the force-displacement relationship at the joint location, and the torsional stiffness of the joint structure is then obtained based on the maximum torsional deformation limit of the joint.

[0099] The process of obtaining the torsional stiffness of the joint structure is as follows in equation 11:

[0100] K θ = K J,Shear r(tanαsinβ-cosβ)Δ h,Design / Δ θ,Design (11)

[0101] wherein: K θ represents the joint torsional stiffness; Δ θ,Design represents the maximum torsional limit of the joint.

[0102] Example Two:

[0103] In this example, the anchor cable design method in the method is taken as the main variable, and the design method of the pipe body and the joint is not used temporarily in order to reduce the influence of other variables on the example. Under static and dynamic loads, the displacement and bending moment response of the underwater suspended tunnel is studied, and it is proved that the method has good controllability and universality. Specifically as follows:

[0104] The total length of the suspended tunnel in this example is 1000m, the single pipe section is 100m long, the pipe body adopts high-strength waterproof concrete, the tunnel cross section is circular, the inner diameter is 6.5m, the outer diameter is 7.5m, the material density is determined to be 3066kg / m3 by the floating weight ratio of 1.3, and the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the pipe wall material are determined to be 34.5GPa and 0.2 respectively; the anchor cable of the suspended tunnel is hinged under the anchor spindle, and the installation angle and the inclination angle are both 60°; the anchor cable is a high-strength steel rope with a length of 180m and a diameter of 0.347m, and the material density, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are 8000kg / m3, 195GPa and 0.3 respectively, and the anchor cable is uniformly distributed along the tunnel axis with an interval of 100m and a total of 9 groups. In the design environment, the suspended tunnel is subjected to periodic wave load, the wave height is 7m, the period is 12.69s, and the wave force is calculated by potential flow theory.

[0105] The suspended tunnel structure with or without the structure of the application is analyzed for static and dynamic response, including the following steps:

[0106] Step one: select 10 tunnel pipe sections with a length of 100m, the material density, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are 3066kg / m3, 34.5GPa and 0.2 respectively, the pipe sections are connected through joints with the same stiffness as the pipe body, and the two ends of the tunnel are hinged to the ground and constrained in torsion.

[0107] Step two: select anchor cables with a length of 180m and a diameter of 0.347m, the material density, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are 8000kg / m3, 195GPa and 0.3 respectively. The anchor cables are uniformly distributed along the tunnel axis with an interval of 100m, a total of 9 groups, and the left and right ends of the anchor cable at the upper end of each group are connected to the outer surface of the tunnel pipe section by MPC beam constraint, and the lower end of the anchor cable is hinged to the ground.

[0108] Step three: adjust the pretightening force value of each part of the anchor cable by the anchor cable pretightening force adjustment method to obtain the best displacement and bending moment response results;

[0109] Step four: repeat steps one, two, and three, but in step three, use the segmented design method described in the invention to directly determine the vertical stiffness required at each anchor position, thereby obtaining the diameter of each anchor.

[0110] Step five: apply static loads (self-weight and buoyancy) and dynamic loads (static load plus wave force) to the two models, respectively, and compare the dynamic response results of the suspended tunnel structure with and without the structure of the invention.

[0111] As shown in Figure 3 , the dynamic response of the suspended tunnel under static load before and after using the design method of the invention is compared. It can be seen that the suspended tunnel structure using the invention has a greater positive impact on vertical displacement and vertical bending moment response, with smaller displacement and more uniform bending moment under the same conditions.

[0112] As shown in Figure 4 , the displacement response of the suspended tunnel under periodic wave load before and after using the design method of the invention is compared. It can be seen that under the action of periodic wave load, the displacement of the suspended tunnel structure with the invention is smaller, and the displacement curve is more moderate.

[0113] Example three:

[0114] In this example, the actual terrain of a proposed project in the Mediterranean region is used as the application scenario, and the design method is used in detail. Finally, it is compared with multiple constraint conditions to prove that the method of the invention has good controllability and universality. Specifically as follows:

[0115] First, through its topographic map, the anchor cable distribution and pipe segment immersion depth are preset, as shown in Figure 5 , where l C1 is the vertical height of the mid-span anchor cable (mid-span anchor cable length l1 = 235 m); l C0 is the vertical height of the side-span anchor cable (side-span anchor cable length l0 = 142 m); S1 is the length of the mid-span pipe segment (S1 = 100 m); S0 is the length of the side-span pipe segment (S0 = 150 m). According to existing research, the immersion depth is 40 m, the float-to-weight ratio is 1.3, the structure length is 2900 m, and the specific parameters are as shown in Table 1.

[0116] Table 1

[0117]

[0118] The maximum wave height in this area is about 3 m, and the period is 12.69 s, so the wave load, gravity, and buoyancy under this sea condition are used as the load for research, and the wave force on the structure is calculated by potential flow theory method (as shown in Figure 6), because the horizontal and vertical wave forces are similar in magnitude, and the vertical direction has the action of residual buoyancy (one order of magnitude greater than the two), the design criterion is mainly the deformation limit of the vertical direction pipe segment, which can meet the horizontal displacement requirements.

[0119] Assuming that the tunnel traffic requirements are driving speed 200km / H, according to the current design standards, the standard for safe driving is shown in Table 3. According to the limit of pipe body deformation, the vertical stiffness required by each anchor point is determined, such as Figure 7 , and the required anchor section area is determined according to the length and angle of each anchor point. The joint shear, axial and torsional stiffness and the bending stiffness determined by the internal force optimization method in this paper are shown in Table 2.

[0120] Table 2

[0121]

[0122] As shown in Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Table 3, under static and periodic load, the displacement and bending moment response of the structure meet the expectations and meet the use requirements.
