Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel engineering and relates to a method for determining the energy consumption limit value of the surrounding rock of a deep-buried soft rock tunnel with high ground stress. Background Art
[0002] During railway tunnel construction, as tunnel depth gradually increases, deep-buried soft rock tunnels with high geostress often appear. The large compression deformation caused by high geostress poses a great challenge to the construction and operational safety of tunnels. The bearing capacity evaluation index of surrounding rock is the basis for judging the stability of high geostress tunnels and guiding the design of support structures. It can effectively evaluate the bearing capacity of surrounding rock and the stability of tunnels from an energy perspective. The energy storage limit is currently the most commonly used energy index for evaluating rock bearing capacity. It refers to the maximum elastic strain energy that can be accumulated before the rock peak. It is widely used to evaluate the stability of surrounding rock in deep hard rock tunnels and predict rockburst disasters. Under high geostress conditions, when the elastic strain energy absorbed by hard rock exceeds the energy storage limit, the rock will undergo severe brittle failure, and the rock strength after the peak will drop sharply. The essence of rockburst disasters is the result of the instantaneous release of the elastic strain energy accumulated in the hard surrounding rock after exceeding the energy storage limit.
[0003] For deep soft rock, however, the energy storage limit is very limited, and the energy input to the rock under high in-situ stress environments can easily exceed this limit. However, weak rock exhibits significant post-peak strain softening behavior under high stress, and the rock still possesses a certain bearing capacity after the peak. Existing theoretical research and field tests indicate that the surrounding rock of most deep soft rock tunnels is in a post-peak plastic service state. Therefore, using the energy storage limit as a bearing capacity evaluation metric is inappropriate and tends to underestimate the bearing capacity of the surrounding rock of deep soft rock tunnels under high in-situ stress. Under high in-situ stress environments, strain energy is input from the surrounding rock in the form of radial stress work after tunnel excavation. Part of this energy is converted into elastic strain energy and stored within the surrounding rock, while the remaining part is converted into plastic dissipation energy, triggering plastic deformation and damage degradation of the surrounding rock. The deformation and failure process of deep soft rock is driven by plastic dissipation energy. Therefore, the plastic dissipation energy of the surrounding rock caused by tunnel excavation must be controlled within a certain limit. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on the deficiencies in the existing technology, this application proposes a method for determining the energy consumption limit of the surrounding rock of high-ground stress deep-buried soft rock tunnels, using the energy consumption limit as an evaluation indicator of the bearing capacity of the surrounding rock of high-ground stress deep-buried soft rock tunnels, to provide a new solution to the design and construction problems of high-ground stress deep-buried soft rock tunnels.

[0010] Step 4: Elastic strain energy based on the specimen and plastic dissipated energy , calculate the energy dissipation rate of the specimen ;
[0011] Step 5: Use the energy dissipation rate of the specimen Reach its maximum value The corresponding plastic dissipated energy Energy consumption limit of surrounding rock .
[0012] Furthermore, the specific process of obtaining the components of the specimen in the direction of major principal stress, intermediate principal stress and minor principal stress is as follows:
[0013] The component of the ground stress in the direction of the major principal stress is recorded as the major principal stress , the component of the ground stress in the direction of the intermediate principal stress is recorded as the intermediate principal stress And the component of the ground stress in the direction of the minor principal stress is recorded as the minor principal stress ;
[0014] According to the ground stress test results, the initial values of the stress on the six surfaces of the specimen are set to simulate the stress state of the surrounding rock before tunnel excavation; among them, the initial values of the upper and lower axial stress action surfaces of the specimen are set as the major principal stress The initial values of the lateral stress on two parallel sides of the specimen are set as the intermediate principal stress The initial values of the lateral stresses on the other two parallel sides of the specimen are set as the minor principal stress ;
[0015] Maintaining the intermediate principal stress The displacement loading method is used to continuously increase the axial major principal stress at a constant loading rate. , using stress unloading to continuously unload the minor principal stress at a constant unloading rate , when the minor principal stress When the unloading reaches zero, the test ends, and the specimens at different time periods during the true triaxial loading and unloading process are respectively , intermediate principal stress and minor principal stress Stress and strain in the direction.
[0016] Furthermore, the different time periods in the true triaxial loading and unloading include the elastic deformation stage, the plastic yield stage, the post-peak strain softening stage and the residual stage.
[0017] Furthermore, the elastic strain energy of the specimen The expression is as follows:
[0018] ;
[0019] ;
[0020] in, is the elastic modulus of the specimen, is the Poisson's ratio of the specimen, is the elastic strain in the direction of the major principal stress, is the elastic strain in the direction of the central principal stress, is the elastic strain in the direction of the minor principal stress.
[0021] Furthermore, the plastic dissipation energy of rock The expression is as follows:

[0027] ;
[0028] ;
[0029] in: is the differential.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0031] (1) The present invention conducts true triaxial loading and unloading tests on specimens made from rock mass at the engineering site of the tunnel site based on the in-situ stress test results of the tunnel site, and obtains the stress-strain curves of the specimens in the directions of major principal stress, intermediate principal stress, and minor principal stress. The energy dissipation rate of the specimens is then calculated based on the above stress-strain curves and the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the specimens. The plastic dissipation energy corresponding to the maximum value of the energy dissipation rate of the specimens is then used as the energy dissipation limit of the surrounding rock. The present invention uses the energy dissipation limit as an evaluation index for the bearing capacity of the surrounding rock of a deep-buried soft rock tunnel with high in-situ stress, reflecting the nature of the instability and failure of the surrounding rock of a deep-buried soft rock tunnel with high in-situ stress. The deformation and failure process of deep rock under construction disturbance is driven by energy, and its essence is the result of energy dissipation after the input energy exceeds the energy storage limit of the rock. Energy dissipation will cause plastic deformation and damage deterioration of the surrounding rock, and eventually lead to loosening and failure of the surrounding rock. Therefore, the plastic dissipation energy of the surrounding rock should be controlled within the limit value during on-site construction to ensure the stability of the surrounding rock after excavation and unloading of deep-buried soft rock tunnels with high ground stress.
[0032] (2) The present invention proposes to use the energy dissipation limit as an evaluation index, which can give full play to the post-peak bearing capacity of the surrounding rock of deep-buried soft rock tunnels under high ground stress. The energy storage limit is currently the most commonly used energy index for evaluating rock bearing capacity and is widely used in the evaluation of the stability of the surrounding rock of deep hard rock tunnels. When the elastic strain energy absorbed by the hard rock exceeds the energy storage limit, the rock will undergo severe brittle failure. However, for deep soft rock, the rock will not be destroyed immediately after the elastic strain energy absorbed by the rock exceeds the energy storage limit, but will show post-peak strain softening characteristics and still have a certain bearing capacity. The essence of the instability and failure of deep-buried soft surrounding rock under high ground stress environment is the result of plastic dissipation energy exceeding the limit value. Therefore, using the energy dissipation limit as an evaluation index can consider the post-peak bearing capacity of the extrusive surrounding rock.
