Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel construction, and in particular relates to a TBM tunnel steel arch connection method. Background Art
[0002] As my country's deep-buried and long tunnel projects adopt TBM construction methods more and more frequently, the rock burst disaster problem faced by deep-buried tunnels has become more and more prominent. Frequent rock burst disasters pose a serious threat to the personal safety of construction workers and the safety of construction machinery and equipment such as TBMs. At the same time, the occurrence of rock bursts increases the support measures and costs. When the rock burst level is high, there will be large-scale block and plate spalling, ejection and flying. In severe cases, tons of rock will be ejected from the arch, causing large-scale landslides induced by rock bursts. There is no obvious sign before the rock burst occurs. Its occurrence is sudden, uncertain and random. As a global problem, the prediction and control of rock bursts are still being explored and improved.
[0003] The circular steel arch support for TBM-constructed tunnels is a commonly used technology in my country's tunnel construction process. In order to better reinforce the tunnel's primary support system during construction, especially for surrounding rocks with poor geology, it is necessary to support the top and surrounding areas of the tunnel. The steel arch has good bearing capacity and can play a better supporting role during construction. The steel arch is the main support body of the tunnel project. However, due to the closed design of the existing steel arch, each piece of the steel arch is welded with a steel plate and the end of the steel arch, and then bolted together to form a whole, resulting in the steel arch's lack of rock burst resistance and flexible support performance. Summary of the invention
