Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a construction method for pea gravel filling behind a wall of a shield-type TBM and a supporting structure thereof are provided.
[0042] The present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a construction method for pea gravel filling behind the wall of a shield type TBM is provided, and the construction method for pea gravel filling behind the wall of the shield type TBM includes the following steps:
[0043] S1. Based on the actual filling construction conditions at the engineering site, prefabricate the pipe segment 2, and weld steel rings 6 symmetrically on both sides of the pipe segment 2 along the width direction of the pipe segment 2;
[0044] Specifically, the reinforcement and size of the pipe segment 2 are determined according to the actual situation at the engineering site. Along the width direction of the pipe segment 2, 8 groups of steel rings 6 are symmetrically welded on both sides, with 2 in each group.
[0045] S2, preparing a groove roller 4, wherein the diameter of the groove roller 4 is equal to the diameter of the steel ring 6, and the groove length of the groove roller 4 is equal to the width of the tube segment 2;
[0046] Specifically, eight groove rollers 4 are manufactured, the diameter of the groove roller 4 is equal to the diameter of the steel ring 6, the length of the groove is equal to the width of the pipe segment 2, and the screen 3 is welded at the groove.
[0047] S3, install the screen 3 into the groove of the groove roller 4, install the vibrator 5 to the outside of the groove roller 4, install the groove roller 4 and the fixed bracket 7 with the telescopic rod to the outside of the pipe segment 2, and the output end of the telescopic rod is connected to the outside of the screen 3;
[0048] S4, assembling several segments 2 into a ring-shaped package, and opening the screen 3 by the telescopic rod in the fixed bracket 7, and vibrating the segments 2 and the screen 3 by turning on the vibrator 5;
[0049] Specifically, before the segments 2 are assembled, the screen 3 is in contact with the outer surface of the segments 2 to facilitate transportation of the segments 2 .
[0050] After the pipe segment 2 is assembled, the telescopic rod provided inside the fixed bracket 7 is opened by controlling the switch, and the telescopic rod opens the screen 3 to 90 degrees with the outer surface of the pipe segment 2 .
[0051] The vibrator 5 is turned on by the remote control switch, the groove roller 4 swings at a fast frequency and a small amplitude, and the linked screen 3 vibrates, and the vibration amplitude of the screen 3 is 88 degrees to 92 degrees with the outer surface of the pipe segment 2.
[0052] S5. Based on the pea gravel filling screen cake pressure drop calculation model, pea gravel is blown into the pipe segment 2, and when the pea gravel is half filled, grouting is performed at the bottom of the pipe segment 2 to use the upwelling slurry to slow down the speed of the pea gravel sliding down and evenly merge it with the pea gravel blocked by the screen 3.
[0053] Specifically, when blowing pea gravel, the particle size of the pea gravel is generally 5-15 mm. Figure 1 As shown, the mesh sizes of the screen 3 are 14 mm, 12 mm, 10 mm and 8 mm from top to bottom.
[0054] Pea gravel with a particle size of less than 12 mm slides to the gap outside the lower half of the pipe segment 2. The present invention considers the influence of pea gravel pores, pea gravel diameter, pea gravel shape, and pea gravel distribution on the pressure drop of the screen cake based on the Carman-Kozeny equation, and proposes a calculation model for the pressure drop of the pea gravel blown fill screen cake, wherein:
[0055]
[0056] According to the above formula, the pressure drop calculation model of pea gravel blown fill screen cake can be obtained;
[0057] The expression of the calculation model for the pressure drop of pea gravel blown fill screen cake is:
[0058]
[0059] In the formula, Δp c Indicates voltage drop, μ g Indicates the viscosity of cement slurry, in kg / ms; vg represents the cement slurry flow rate, in m / s; t represents the thickness of the sieve cake layer, in m; ε represents the porosity of the sieve cake layer; S represents the specific surface area of the sieve, in m 2 / m 3 ;d p represents the average diameter of pea gravel, in m; F(ε) represents the porosity function, which represents the drag force between adjacent pea gravel on cement paste; σ represents the geometric standard error of pea gravel, λ represents the shape factor of pea gravel, when the pea gravel is approximately spherical, λ=1, K c represents the Kjeldahl constant, and K represents the modified permeability coefficient.
[0060] In addition, when the pea gravel is half filled, grouting is started at the bottom of the pipe segment 2. Ordinary silicate 42.5 cement is used for grouting, and the grouting pressure is controlled at 0.2-0.3Mpa. The upwelling slurry can slow down the speed of the pea gravel sliding down and evenly merge with the pea gravel blocked by the screen 3.
[0061] like Figure 2-7 As shown, according to another embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention, a support structure for bean gravel blowing filling behind the wall of a shield-type TBM is provided, and the support structure for bean gravel blowing filling behind the wall of the shield-type TBM includes a plurality of segments 2 arranged on the inner side of the surrounding rock 1, and the gap thickness between the surrounding rock 1 and the segment 2 is 160 mm. A groove roller 4 is arranged on the outer side of the segment 2, a groove is opened on the outer side of the groove roller 4, and a screen 3 is arranged inside the groove, a fixed bracket 7 is arranged on the outer side of the segment 2 and at one end of the groove roller 4, and a telescopic rod connected to the screen 3 is arranged inside the fixed bracket 7; steel rings 6 connected to the groove roller 4 are arranged on both sides of the outer side of the segment 2; a vibrator 5 is arranged on the outer side of the groove roller 4.
[0062] Among them, the material of screen 3 is ordinary steel bar with a diameter of 10mm, the mesh sizes of screen 3 are 14mm, 12mm, 10mm and 8mm, screen 3 is a rectangular curved surface, and the length of the rectangular curved surface is equal to the width of the segment 2, the width of the rectangular curved surface is equal to the thickness of the gap from the surrounding rock 1 to the segment 2, and the curvature of screen 3 is the same as that of segment 2, ensuring that the outer surface of screen 3 and the outermost surface of segment 2 are on the same curved surface.
[0063] In addition, the screen 3 and the groove roller 4 are tightly connected to form a whole by welding, the steel ring 6 is welded to the outer surface of the pipe segment 2, the steel ring 2 fixes the two ends of the groove roller 4, and when the fixed bracket 7 is closed, the screen 3 fits the outer surface of the pipe segment 2, and the screen 3 is stretched open by the telescopic rod set on the inner side of the fixed bracket 7. When the fixed bracket 7 is opened, it is 90 degrees to the outer surface of the pipe segment 2.
[0064] It should be noted that the segment 2 is a reinforced concrete structure. The segment 2 is located on the inner side of the surrounding rock 1 and plays the role of supporting the surrounding rock. The reinforcement conditions, structural dimensions and hole size of the segment 2 are calculated based on the actual size of the tunnel on site and the deformation of the surrounding rock. The support force that the segment 2 needs to provide is then determined.
[0065] The groove roller 4 is made of ordinary steel with a diameter of 25 mm. The length of the groove is equal to the length of the curved surface of the screen 3, and the depth of the groove is 12.5 mm.
[0066] In actual application, in order to solve the problem of uneven filling of pea gravel, an intelligent telescopic screen is installed on the outside of the segment. The screen is made of ordinary steel and has the characteristics of easy installation, high bearing capacity and corrosion resistance. Based on the horizontal line, a screen is installed by rotating 30 degrees counterclockwise. Excluding the horizontal and vertical axis directions, a total of 8 screens are installed. The mesh sizes of the screen are 14mm, 12mm, 10mm and 8mm from top to bottom. The particle size of pea gravel is generally 5-15mm. When filling pea gravel, pea gravel with a particle size less than 12mm slides to the gap outside the lower half of the segment, and pea gravel with a particle size greater than 12mm will be blocked by the screen in the gap outside the upper half of the segment. In order to prevent excessive pea gravel from sliding down and accumulating at the bottom outside the lower half of the segment, when the pea gravel is half filled, grouting begins at the bottom of the segment. The upwelling slurry can slow down the speed of the pea gravel sliding down and evenly merge with the pea gravel blocked by the screen. This method has a significant effect on solving the problem of uneven pea gravel filling in existing lining support structures.
[0067] In addition, the engineering case of the present invention is based on the shield construction project of Shenzhen Airport to Pingshan section in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Shenzhen-Dalian intercity railway project). The research section is Pingshan to Julong section, the geology is mainly slightly weathered granite, and the rock mass quality grade is II-IV. The TBM method is used for construction, which is divided into left and right lines, the left line shield section is 3409m, the right line shield section is 3530m, and the interval tunnel is buried at a depth of about 20.8-66.0m.

The gap thickness of the surrounding rock-segment is 0.16m, the diameter of the pea gravel is 5-15mm, and the pea gravel filling pressure is controlled at 0.25-0.35MPa. Ordinary silicate 42.5 cement is used for grouting, and the grouting pressure is controlled at 0.2-0.3MPa. The material of the screen is ordinary steel bar with a diameter of 10mm. The screen is a rectangular curved surface with a length of 1.8m and a width of 0.16m. Based on the horizontal line, a screen is installed by rotating 30 degrees counterclockwise. Excluding the horizontal and vertical axis directions, a total of 8 screens are installed. The mesh sizes of the screen are 14mm, 12mm, 10mm and 8mm from top to bottom. The length of the groove roller is 1.8m and the diameter of the groove roller is 25mm.
[0068] In summary, with the help of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention can solve the problem of uneven filling of bean gravel, avoid the phenomenon of excessive surrounding rock pressure on the pipe segment caused by uneven filling of bean gravel with insufficient density, and prevent the occurrence of tunnel water leakage caused by cracks in the pipe segment.
