[0002] Safety issues during tunnel construction have always been a focus of attention in the engineering community. Advanced geological prediction technology is a key link in tunnel construction, mining engineering and geological exploration. Its purpose is to predict and identify potential geological risks to ensure engineering safety. At present, a variety of technical means are used in this field, including geological surveys, geophysical exploration, geochemical analysis, and numerical simulation. These methods have their own advantages and can provide preliminary information on underground structures. However, although these technologies have made significant progress in some aspects, there are still some shortcomings. First, the complexity and multi-solution of geological data make data interpretation uncertain.

[0036] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tunnel safety construction advance detection method of the present invention combining forward simulation and inversion analysis comprises the following steps:
[0038] Step S1, collect geological, hydrogeological and geophysical data of the tunnel construction area, use GPRMax to perform electromagnetic wave forward simulation of the tunnel construction area, establish a geological structure model, and obtain electromagnetic characteristic data of the underground structure.
[0039] This step is mainly to determine how to construct a geological structure model in GPRMax. In this embodiment, the main parameters for constructing the geological structure model are the geometric structure and electromagnetic properties of the underground medium, including defining the dielectric constant and conductivity parameters of the underground medium, and adding possible undesirable geological targets such as faults, cracks, and caves to the model.
[0040] Specifically include the following:
[0041] S1-1, Model preparation: Define the geometry and electromagnetic properties of the underground medium, including dielectric constant and conductivity, and add possible unfavorable geological targets to the model at corresponding locations and depths as needed; set the boundary conditions of the model, such as perfectly matched layers (PML) to simulate open space.
[0042] S1-2, parameter setting: simulation parameters include center frequency, pulse width, transmission power and antenna frequency. Configure the center frequency of the simulation and select a frequency range that can cover the target underground structure; set the pulse width to determine the time length of the transmitted signal to control the spatial resolution.
[0043] S1-3, Signal Configuration: Set the transmit power and adjust the signal strength to adapt to different detection depths and medium attenuation; select the antenna frequency and type to optimize the signal penetration and resolution.
[0044] S1-4, forward simulation execution: After configuring all parameters, run the GPRMax software to perform forward simulation and calculate the propagation and reflection of electromagnetic waves in the underground medium.
[0045] S1-5, Result analysis and output: Analyze the simulation results, including time domain and frequency domain data, and identify the reflection characteristics of underground structures.
[0046] Step S2, based on the measured data of geological radar and combined with the GPRMax simulation results, identify geological abnormal areas such as faults, cracks, and voids, and mark potential risk points.
[0047] Specifically:
[0048] S2-1, electromagnetic wave signals propagate in the medium and will produce reflection, dispersion and attenuation when encountering interfaces with different dielectric properties. The transmitting and receiving antennas move synchronously at the same interval on the survey line to obtain the radar detection image of the survey line. The medium properties and interface position are analyzed and inferred based on the time, phase, frequency, amplitude and waveform characteristics of the reflected signal.
[0049] S2-2, ground penetrating radar belongs to the reflection wave detection method. Its basic principle is similar to that of air-to-air radar. According to the time difference Δt between the reflection of the face and the reflection of the target, the burial depth L of the target can be calculated:
[0050]
[0051] Where: L is the target burial depth (distance from the tunnel face), v is the electromagnetic wave propagation speed, Δt is the time difference between the tunnel face reflection and the target reflection, and x is the offset distance (the distance between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna). The calculation method of the depth of the abnormal area location is obtained.
[0052] S2-3, for the high-frequency electromagnetic pulses used by ground penetrating radar, the medium usually encountered in engineering surveys and detection is a low-loss medium dominated by displacement current. In this type of medium, the reflection coefficient and wave velocity mainly depend on the dielectric constant, as shown in the following formula:
[0053]
[0054] Where: γ is the reflection coefficient, ε is the relative dielectric constant, and c is the speed of light.
[0055] The positive and negative values of the reflection coefficient can be used to compare the dielectric constants between different regions, and the properties of the medium can be verified by combining the frequency, amplitude and waveform characteristics; the location and depth information of the abnormal area can be further obtained through the wave velocity. That is, the electromagnetic wave propagation velocity c is obtained through the above formula, and the electromagnetic wave propagation velocity is brought into step S2-2 to calculate the location and depth of the abnormal area.
[0056] Step S3, using FLAC3D software, based on the geological structure model and potential risk point data, a three-dimensional numerical simulation of the tunnel construction process is performed to analyze the stability of the tunnel excavation and support structure.
[0057] In this step, the medium properties, interface position, and depth of the abnormal area in step S2 are used to determine whether there is a water-bearing cave behind the tunnel face, and its specific location, volume, etc. are obtained. This information is the potential risk point data, which is used to perform more accurate FLAC3D inversion simulation analysis.
[0058] In this embodiment, constructing a geological model in FLAC3D involves more detailed geological parameters and construction conditions, including:
[0059] (1) Material properties: Assign specific material properties to different geological layers, such as elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, internal friction angle, cohesion, etc.
[0060] (2) Initial stress state: Define the initial stress state such as geostress and hydrostatic pressure.
[0061] (3) Boundary conditions: Set displacement boundary conditions and force boundary conditions to simulate load application and geological changes during the construction process.
[0062] (4) Grid division: Appropriate grid division is performed according to the complexity of the geological structure to ensure the accuracy and computational efficiency of the simulation.
[0063] The specific steps for analyzing the stability of tunnel excavation and support structure using FLAC3D software are as follows:
[0064] S3-1, establish geological model: create a geological model based on the geological anomaly areas and potential risk points identified in step S2, including geometric dimensions, grid division and material property allocation, including at least elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, internal friction angle, cohesion, etc.; define the initial stress state and boundary conditions, including at least hydrostatic pressure, ground stress, initial displacement, and velocity conditions.
[0065] S3-2, Load application and construction simulation: Apply loads gradually to simulate the construction process or geological changes; apply displacement boundary conditions (such as fixed boundaries, free boundaries) and force boundary conditions.
[0066] S3-3, Perform numerical simulation: Run simulations to solve the stress, displacement, and plastic zone development of the model under load, paying attention to the responses near geological anomalies and potential risk points.
[0067] S3-4, Result analysis and visualization: Analyze stress distribution, displacement field and support structure response; use FLAC3D visualization tools to display simulation results.
[0068] Step S4, based on the FLAC3D simulation results, evaluate the stress distribution and displacement field during the tunnel construction process, and optimize the tunnel construction plan, including adjusting the support design and improving the construction process.
[0069] Step S5, during the tunnel construction process, combined with real-time monitoring data, the real-time monitoring data includes surface settlement, surrounding rock stress, support structure strain and groundwater level, and the monitoring data is compared and analyzed with the FLAC3D simulation results, and the structural model parameters are dynamically adjusted to improve the accuracy of simulation analysis and conclusions, so as to ensure construction safety.
[0070] Step S6: After the construction is completed, FLAC3D software is used to conduct a post-construction evaluation to ensure the long-term stability of the tunnel.
[0071] The above implementation cases are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, they are not intended to limit the present invention. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
