Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel engineering support, in particular to a high ground stress soft rock traffic tunnel invert creep floor heave control method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous improvement of tunnel construction technology, China's tunnels and underground engineering have developed rapidly and achieved remarkable results. China is currently the world's largest tunnel country in terms of the number of tunnels, construction scale, and development speed. However, with the planning and construction of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway, a series of construction challenges such as special geology and climate, high altitude, high ground stress, permafrost in cold regions, broken faults, and ecological protection need to be researched and solved. Among them, under high ground stress, soft rock tunnel bottom arch deformation is common, which poses a great threat to the safe operation of the tunnel, so we urgently need to conduct in-depth research on its control technology to solve the possible floor heave problems during the construction and operation of high ground stress soft rock tunnels.

[0003] Current tunnel floor heave control techniques mainly rely on floor anchor rods, floor grouting, and closed support reinforcement methods. These methods have their own limitations. For example, the inverted arch support method generally requires the tunnel to be fully enclosed to be effective. The anchor rod reinforcement method fails to ensure the construction quality of the anchor rod due to the broken surrounding rock at the bottom of the invert and the uncertainty of the floor heave range. Moreover, in high ground stress conditions, ordinary anchor rods are difficult to withstand the stress from the surrounding rock, often leading to anchor rod breakage and ultimately resulting in disasters. For deformation in high ground stress soft rock tunnels, support reinforcement methods are difficult to achieve the desired control requirements due to the large stress concentration near the support structure and the inability of the stress to transfer to the deep part, leading to severe deformation or even failure of the support structure, and the floor heave control effect is not ideal.

[0004] The current tunnel floor heave control method has the following disadvantages:

[0005] 1. Most of them can only passively maintain the tunnel bottom structure, and under high stress and creep deformation conditions, they cannot fully utilize their bearing capacity and maintain the long-term stability of the invert structure of the soft rock tunnel; 2. The construction process is complicated, not only consuming a lot of manpower and resources, but also affecting construction efficiency; 3. It cannot effectively improve the stress environment of the tunnel and protect the tunnel invert structure while releasing the stress at the bottom of the tunnel, thereby effectively preventing and controlling the tunnel floor heave problem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0076] The specific embodiments of the present application are described below to facilitate the understanding of the present application for those skilled in the art, but it should be clear that the present application is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments, and for those skilled in the art, any changes that are obvious within the spirit and scope of the present application as defined and determined by the appended claims are within the scope of the present application.

[0077] REFERENCE Figure 1 , Figure 1 A step flow chart of the method for controlling the creep bottom heave of the inverted arch of a high-stress and gently-inclined soft rock traffic tunnel is shown; as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The method S includes steps S1-S7.

[0078] In step S1, the geological conditions and stress state of the bottom of the inverted arch of the tunnel are collected, and the section of the tunnel where the bottom heave is likely to occur is determined; the geological conditions and stress state can be determined by survey.

[0079] The occurrence of the bottom heave phenomenon is mainly due to the fact that the stress of the surrounding rock exceeds the bearing capacity of the inverted arch, and the long-term creep effect and insufficient structural support, etc. Therefore, when determining the section of the tunnel where the bottom heave is likely to occur, the following conditions are considered:

[0080] 1. High stress condition of surrounding rock: in a high stress environment, when the stress of the surrounding rock exceeds the bearing capacity of the inverted arch and the supporting structure, it is easy to cause the bottom heave. The stress concentration area, for example, when the tunnel passes through complex geological conditions (such as faults or weak interlayers), the stress concentration of the surrounding rock will generate more pressure on the inverted arch, increasing the risk of bottom heave.

[0081] 2. Creep effect of surrounding rock: in rock layers with obvious creep effect (such as soft rock or rock layers with plastic deformation characteristics), the surrounding rock will produce slow deformation under long-term load. This long-term cumulative deformation will gradually transfer more force to the inverted arch, leading to the bottom heave phenomenon. Stress redistribution and long-term creep deformation will intensify the mechanical action between the surrounding rock and the inverted arch, causing the deformation of the inverted arch bottom to gradually accumulate, and eventually leading to the bottom heave.

[0082] 3. Insufficient or failed tunnel support: if the support system is not reasonably designed or has insufficient strength, it cannot effectively resist the high stress of the surrounding rock, which is easy to cause the bottom heave of the inverted arch.

[0083] 4. Insufficient stiffness of inverted arch structure: If the stiffness of the inverted arch structure is not designed enough, it cannot bear the load transmitted to the bottom of the tunnel, and uneven stress distribution will cause the floor heave, especially the deformation may continue to increase under the condition of creep.

[0084] 5. Construction technology and quality: Unreasonable construction technology will cause disturbance of surrounding rock, increase the stress complexity of inverted arch, and then may cause floor heave. Improper arrangement of energy release device (such as unreasonable design of spacing or depth) will affect its adjustment effect, so that the inverted arch cannot effectively relieve the stress of surrounding rock, increasing the risk of floor heave.

[0085] In step S2, according to the rock mechanics parameters of high ground stress tunnel, tunnel geometry and support parameters, a three-dimensional numerical model of the tunnel with different arrangement forms of creep deformation energy release holes is constructed in the section where the floor heave may occur.

[0086] In step S3, the three-dimensional numerical model is used to simulate and predict the upward deformation of the inverted arch at the bottom of the tunnel under the condition of high ground stress for 100 years, and the optimal arrangement of the energy release hole is determined based on the upward deformation.

[0087] In implementation, the preferred arrangement of the energy release hole includes the installation position of the energy release hole, the spacing of adjacent energy release holes, the depth of the energy release hole and the diameter of the energy release hole; the diameter of the energy release hole is selected within a predetermined range. The selection process of each parameter in the arrangement of the energy release hole is as follows:

[0088] Determination of the position of the creep deformation energy release hole: according to the stress distribution results, the area with high stress concentration and large deformation is determined as the position of the creep deformation energy release hole, and the stress concentration area at the bottom of the inverted arch is preferentially selected for drilling;

[0089] Determination of the spacing W of the creep deformation energy release hole: according to the numerical simulation results, the effect of different spacings on stress release and deformation control is analyzed, and the spacing of the creep deformation energy release hole is optimized to achieve the best stress release effect while controlling the deformation within the allowable range;

[0090] Determination of the depth H of the creep deformation energy release hole: according to the stress release effect, the depth of the creep deformation energy release hole is determined to achieve uniform stress release and control of creep deformation;

[0091] Determination of the diameter D of the creep deformation energy release hole: according to the size of the filling material and the pipe, the diameter of the creep deformation energy release hole is determined to ensure that the diameter of the creep deformation energy release hole can accommodate the filling material and the pipe, and at the same time has construction operability.

[0092] In order to facilitate the understanding of the arrangement of the energy release hole, the arrangement of the energy release hole is marked in Figure 6 the energy release hole spacing 10, the energy release hole depth 9 and the energy release hole diameter 11, and the energy release hole 4 is opened in the surrounding rock 8 below the lining 1.

[0093] Regarding the diameter of the energy release hole: according to similar geological conditions or tunnel engineering experience, a reasonable drilling diameter range (such as the common 100-300mm) is selected, and in the simulation, the disturbance of drilling holes of different diameters on the stress field of surrounding rock is analyzed, and the diameter that can effectively reduce the stress concentration of surrounding rock but not excessively disturb the stability of surrounding rock is selected. In the preliminary numerical simulation, the drilling diameter is taken as a variable, and the goal is to explore the influence of the diameter on the stress distribution and the invert deformation, providing preliminary basis for the final scheme. At this time, the compression behavior of the energy release material is not involved.

[0094] The final drilling diameter needs to meet the following conditions: ① it can accommodate the filled energy release material (including plastic pipe); ② it provides enough space for material compression to achieve the expected energy release effect. Because the selection of the diameter is not completely dependent on the compression performance of the energy release material, the diameter range determined by the preliminary simulation is verified and fine-tuned in combination with the compression requirements of the energy release material.

[0095] Determining the optimal energy release hole arrangement based on the invert deformation includes:

[0096] Selecting the invert deformation that is less than the design allowed bottom heave deformation, when the number of selected invert deformations is 1, the corresponding energy release hole arrangement is taken as the optimal energy release hole arrangement;

[0097] When the number of selected invert deformations is greater than or equal to 2, multiple evaluation indexes are used to evaluate the energy release hole arrangement corresponding to the invert deformation, and the energy release hole arrangement with the highest evaluation score is selected as the optimal energy release hole arrangement.

[0098] The multiple evaluation indexes include stress uniformity, structural stability, construction feasibility, material economy, long-term creep effect, and environmental and maintenance impact. According to these evaluation indexes, different energy release hole arrangements are quantitatively evaluated by multi-objective optimization method or weight analysis, and after determining the weight of each index, the energy release hole arrangement with the highest comprehensive score is selected as the optimal energy release hole arrangement.

[0099] Based on numerical simulation, this scheme analyzes the reaction force generated by different creep deformation energy release hole arrangements on the invert bottom, compares it with the ultimate bearing capacity of the invert, and measures the invert deformation at the bottom of the tunnel under the condition of 100-year creep and the design allowed bottom heave deformation, to ensure that the bearing capacity and deformation of the invert are within the allowed range.

[0100] In step S4, the stress at different positions around the energy release hole is calculated using the energy release hole peripheral stress calculation method, and the minimum value of all stresses is selected as the upper limit of the strength of the creep energy release material filled in the energy release hole.

[0101] The creep energy release material is preferably EPP concrete, and the material performance and strength of the EPP concrete are measured through a side limit compression test, and the side limit compression stress-strain curve can be referred to Figure 3 .

[0102] In one embodiment of the present application, the step S4 further comprises:

[0103] S41, according to the friction angle of the surrounding rock at the tunnel, the inner and outer radii of the lining of the tunnel and the invert support resistance, the plastic zone radius of the surrounding rock at the tunnel is calculated:

[0104]

[0105] Wherein, R is the plastic zone radius; r2 is the outer radius of the lining; c is the cohesion of the surrounding rock; σ Z is the tangential stress when the energy release hole depth is R from the center of the tunnel; P is the invert support resistance; and φ is the friction angle of the surrounding rock;

[0106] S42, within the plastic zone range, the radial stress F r and the vertical stress F v of the surrounding rock at the periphery of the energy release hole at different depths are calculated:

[0107]

[0108] Wherein, r is the radial distance from the center of the tunnel at different depths;

[0109] S43, within the elastic zone range where the energy release hole is located, the radial stress F r and the vertical stress F v of the surrounding rock at the periphery of the energy release hole at different depths are calculated:

[0110]

[0111] Wherein, r c is the maximum value of the radial distance from the center of the tunnel at the bottom of all energy release holes; σ R is the radial stress when the creep deformation energy release hole depth is R from the center of the tunnel;

[0112] S44, according to the geological parameters, creep characteristics and tunnel support form of the surrounding rock, the finite element simulation software is used to draw the distribution curve of each group of radial stress F r and vertical stress F v , and the radial stress F r (z) and the vertical stress F v (z) in the z-axis direction are determined according to the distribution curve;

[0113] S45, the radial stress F r (z) and the vertical stress Fv The minimum value in (z) as the upper limit of the strength of the creep energy-releasing material r and the vertical stress F v corresponding characteristic stress;

[0114] S46, selecting the minimum value of all characteristic stresses as the upper limit of the strength of the creep energy-releasing material filling the energy-releasing hole.

[0115] In the process of determining the upper limit of the strength of the creep energy-releasing material, the analysis of the elastic-plastic range of the creep deformation energy-releasing hole at different depths and the stress state of the unit body can refer to Figure 2 .

[0116] The scheme adopts the above-mentioned way to select a creep energy-releasing material that meets the strength requirement and has compression performance, ensures that the strength of the selected material is less than the minimum value of the circumferential stress at the filling position, so as to realize the cooperative deformation with the surrounding rock, and tests the selected creep energy-releasing material to verify the strength, energy absorption and compression performance of the material, and test the stability and durability of the material under long-term creep conditions.

[0117] In implementation, the expression of the invert support resistance is preferably

[0118]

[0119] Wherein, μ and E are the Poisson's ratio and the elastic modulus of the surrounding rock respectively; K l , μ l and E l are the stiffness coefficient, Poisson's ratio and elastic modulus of the invert support structure respectively; r1 is the inner radius of the lining.

[0120] In step S5, the creep energy-releasing material is selected according to the upper limit of the strength, and is introduced into the three-dimensional numerical model to verify whether the optimal energy-releasing hole arrangement meets the bottom heave control effect, if yes, step S7 is entered, otherwise, step S6 is entered;

[0121] The determination method of whether the bottom heave control effect is met can be that the upward heave deformation amount of the tunnel bottom invert under the condition of 100 years is simulated and predicted, and the upward heave deformation amount is compared with the design allowable bottom heave deformation amount, if the upward heave deformation amount is less than the design allowable bottom heave deformation amount, it is considered that the bottom heave control effect is met, otherwise, it is considered that the bottom heave control effect is not met.

[0122] In step S6, the energy-releasing hole arrangement is adjusted until the bottom heave control effect is met, the energy-releasing hole arrangement that meets the bottom heave control effect is taken as the final optimal energy-releasing hole arrangement, and then step S7 is entered;

[0123] In step S7, the energy-releasing hole is arranged according to the optimal energy-releasing hole arrangement in the section where the bottom heave may occur, and the plastic tube filled with the selected creep energy-releasing material is placed in the energy-releasing hole.

[0124] According to the optimal energy release hole arrangement mode and construction conditions determined by numerical simulation calculation, in the supporting stage, a drill is used to drill a hole vertically downward at the corresponding position of the tunnel bottom plate, the hole depth is reviewed after the drilling is completed, and the hole is cleaned with high-pressure air; then the plastic pipe is installed.

[0125] The plastic pipe is used to contain compressible material and has good compression performance and durability; the creep energy release material has good compression performance and energy absorption capacity and can continuously relieve the surrounding rock stress under long-term high ground stress and creep conditions. The plastic pipe has an outer diameter and thickness determined according to the diameter of the creep deformation energy release hole 11, so that it can be smoothly placed in the creep deformation energy release hole and can be in close contact with the hole.

[0126] The creep energy release material is filled in the plastic pipe to form a creep energy release structure 5 under high ground stress, and the filling process ensures uniform distribution of the buffer compression material, no gap and movement. The pipe is arranged and placed in the creep deformation energy release hole at the tunnel construction site to ensure that the creep energy release structure 5 is in close contact with the energy release hole wall and prevents movement, which can be used for stress release and floor heave suppression.

[0127] In implementation, the present scheme further includes optimizing the diameter of the energy release hole between step S5 and step S6:

[0128] The deformation amount of the selected creep energy release material is calculated:

[0129] U c = d·ε m

[0130] Wherein, U c is the deformation amount of the creep energy release material; d is the size of the uniformly distributed compressible space inside the creep energy release material;

[0131] The deformation amount of the creep energy release material is used as the lower limit of the diameter of the energy release hole, and the diameter of the energy release hole is selected according to the lower limit. Specifically, as long as the diameter of the energy release hole is selected to be smaller than the lower limit.

[0132] Since the diameter of the energy release hole is selected within a predetermined range, which is generally determined by experience, the diameter of the energy release hole obtained is not very accurate. The present scheme determines the diameter of the energy release hole by the above-mentioned manner, and comprehensively considers the strength of the selected creep energy release material, so that the energy release hole obtained is more suitable for specific engineering to adapt to floor heave control.

[0133] In order to facilitate the stability of the creep energy release material filled in the plastic pipe in the energy release hole, the present scheme preferably further includes, when the plastic pipe is installed in step S7:

[0134] Before installing the ductile pipe, clean the energy release hole and set waterproof cementable material with a first thickness at the bottom of the energy release hole; after installing the ductile pipe, set the plugging concrete with a second thickness at the top of the energy release hole.

[0135] The waterproof cementable material fills the bottom stress and prevents water from penetrating, and before injecting the material, the soil and gravel at the bottom of the drilling hole should be cleaned to ensure that the sealing material can be in close contact with the bottom rock-soil. In the preferred embodiment, the plugging concrete is geopolymer concrete.

[0136] In the implementation, the preferred method for determining the first thickness includes:
