[0002] Small clearance tunnels usually refer to special tunnel arrangements where the thickness of the middle rock wall in the tunnel is less than the minimum clearance of the separated independent double tunnels. Small clearance tunnel design uses the middle pilot tunnel method for excavation and construction. However, this excavation method is difficult to accurately control, and complex geological conditions may bring more uncertainties and risks, affecting the construction progress. Therefore, a small clearance tunnel construction method for plateau mountainous areas was invented. Summary of the invention

[0016] Furthermore, the initial support closed loop step distance shall not exceed 35m.

[0017] Furthermore, after the advance tunnel is 30m in, the rear tunnel construction is carried out.

[0018] Furthermore, the excavation of the leading tunnel heading must always be 30m ahead of the leading and trailing tunnel headings.

[0019] Furthermore, the initial support of the invert arch of the leading tunnel formed a ring that was 15m ahead of the heading faces of the leading and trailing tunnels.

[0036] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0037] A method for constructing a small clearance tunnel in a plateau mountainous area, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0038] S1. The excavation section of the first tunnel is adjusted, the excavation outline covers the middle rock, and the steel frame is constructed;

[0039] S2. Carry out the side wall support of the excavated position of the main tunnel support behind the pilot tunnel;

[0040] S3, construction of the initial support of the inverted arch of the pilot tunnel;

[0041] S4, construction of the invert arch and invert arch filling of the pilot tunnel;

[0042] S5. After excavation, walk up the tunnel to the steps and apply initial support;

[0043] S6. After excavation, build steps under the tunnel and apply initial support;

[0044] S7, excavate the back arch of the rear tunnel, complete the initial support of the back arch, and remove the part of the steel frame that invades the rear tunnel;

[0045] S8, after construction, the tunnel is built and the invert is filled;

[0046] S9. After the tunnel anchor blasting operation is completed, the second lining of the leading tunnel and the trailing tunnel will be constructed.

[0047] The side walls and the middle part of the interlayer rock are backfilled and compacted with shotcrete. The step distance of the initial support and closed ring is not more than 35m. After the first tunnel is 30m into the hole, the construction of the second tunnel is carried out. The excavation of the first tunnel face must always be 30m ahead of the front and rear tunnel faces. The initial support ring of the first tunnel arch is 15m ahead of the front and rear tunnel faces. Controlled blasting is used to expand the first tunnel.

[0048] After the leading tunnel is entered, controlled blasting is used to expand the leading tunnel, install the special-shaped arch frame legs and the arch frame of the lower step of the trailing tunnel. After the leading tunnel is entered for 30m, the trailing tunnel can enter the tunnel for construction. The leading tunnel's heading face excavation must always be 30m ahead of the leading and trailing tunnels' heading faces. The leading tunnel's initial support ring should be 15m ahead of the leading and trailing tunnels' heading faces. The two tunnels can be excavated forward at the same time, but cannot be blasted at the same time. According to the blasting safety regulations and design drawing requirements, the blasting vibration speed is controlled below 5cm / s, and the leading tunnel steel frame ring to the heading face is no more than 35m, and the ring structure should be formed as soon as possible.
