When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the construction method of zoning quality control of shotcrete for initial support of tunnel includes the following steps:

[0060] S1, inspection before wet spraying robot operation;

[0061] S2, rock face cleaning;

[0062] S3, mortar lubrication pipe;

[0063] S4, concrete index control;

[0064] S5, shotcrete construction;

[0065] S5 includes the following steps:

[0066] S51, the rock face arch is divided into seven areas;

[0067] S52: Before starting wet spraying, pre-spray 10-20mm thick mortar with the same mix ratio from bottom to top to increase the base roughness, improve the bonding effect, and prevent rock bursts and rockfalls;

[0068] S53, spray according to seven zones, and control the thickness of each spraying to 50mm±5mm;

[0069] S54, repeat S53 until the injection is completed;

[0070] S55, surface leveling.

[0071] In the above embodiment, before starting wet spraying, mortar with the same proportion is pre-sprayed on the arch top to increase the roughness of the base and improve the bonding effect; the arch top position is sprayed first, and the spraying angle and spraying flow rate are controlled within a reasonable construction range to reduce the rebound of the concrete. The thickness of each spraying is controlled at about 50 mm to ensure that the self-gravity of the concrete is less than the bonding force of the concrete; when the concrete at the arch top position has strength after the previous spraying, the next spraying is carried out to ensure that the arch top concrete does not fall off. After each arch top spraying, the lower and upper steps, arch feet and arch shoulders can be sprayed and accumulated to form a continuous construction and improve work efficiency; before construction, the rock surface after blasting is cleaned to ensure that there is no residue on the rock surface to avoid the sprayed concrete sticking to the residue part and falling off.

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, in S51, the rock face arch portion is divided into seven areas: the arch crown, the left arch span, the left arch foot of the upper step, the right arch span, the right arch foot of the upper step, the left arch foot of the lower step, and the right arch foot of the lower step.

[0073] In some embodiments, in S53, in order to reduce the rebound rate of shotcrete and shorten the time-consuming spraying process, the spraying order of the seven-part area spraying is: crown, left spandrel, left arch foot of upper step, crown, right spandrel, right arch foot of upper step, crown, left spandrel, left arch foot of lower step, crown, right spandrel, right arch foot of lower step; the spraying thickness of each time is controlled at about 50 mm (such as 50 mm ± 5 mm), and this operation is repeated until the spraying is completed; if the concrete is in good condition, the spraying thickness can be increased by 50 to 70 mm, that is, the single-point spraying residence time is 3 to 5 s.

[0074] In some embodiments, the sequence of multiple batches of arch injection is as follows: Figure 8As shown, a curved path is used during spraying to ensure uniform spraying between every two steel arch frames; a back-and-forth sweeping spraying method is used on the arch top to control the rebound rate.

[0075] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown in S53, the dosage of accelerator for concrete spraying in different areas of the seven zones is:

[0076] The arch crown is 8-10%, the left arch shoulder is 6-8%, the left arch foot of the upper step is 3-6%, the right arch shoulder is 6-8%, the right arch foot of the upper step is 3-6%, the left arch foot of the lower step is 3-6%, and the right arch foot of the lower step is 3-6%.

[0077] In some embodiments, in S53, the concrete spraying wind pressure is controlled at 0.6-0.8 MPa; the spraying angle is controlled at 75-105°, and the wind shear force affects the concrete rebound rate as follows: Figure 4 As shown; the interval time between adjacent layers of spraying is recommended to be controlled at 10 to 15 minutes; the spraying distance is 0.8 to 1.5 meters, and the schematic diagram of the effect of spraying distance on rebound rate is shown as follows Figure 5 shown.

[0078] In some embodiments, S1 includes the following steps:

[0079] The wet spraying robot is in place;

[0080] Complete the fixing of the front and rear legs, and the connection of the external power supply, air duct, and water pipe;

[0081] Start trial operation and debugging, extend the spray arm by operating the controller, start the air compressor and set the accelerator dosage at the same time;

[0082] After the trial run is completed, the spray head is installed.

[0083] In some embodiments, S2 includes the following steps:

[0084] Before spraying concrete, use a high-pressure air gun to clean the rock surface after blasting to ensure that there is no residue on the rock surface, and avoid the sprayed concrete sticking to the residue and falling off, which will increase the concrete rebound rate and increase material consumption.

[0085] In some embodiments, S3 includes the following steps:

[0086] Before spraying concrete, use mortar of the same grade to lubricate the pipe. This not only lubricates the pipe section, but also allows the mortar to be sprayed onto the rock surface to avoid the phenomenon of gravel not being able to bond due to direct contact between concrete and rock surface.

[0087] When lubricating the pipe, the pumping displacement is controlled at 15m 3 / h, the dosage of accelerator is adjusted to 10%.

[0088] In some embodiments, shotcrete control should ensure the spraying effect while meeting good fluidity and slurry coating, and reduce the risk of pump blockage. Specifically, S4 includes the following steps:

[0089] The slump of concrete is controlled within the range of 160-180mm;

[0090] The slump loss rate of concrete over time is ≤5% (tested at 23±2℃ for 1.5h), and the waiting time for concrete transport tankers during construction is ≤90 minutes;

[0091] It is strictly forbidden to add water on site, and the residual water should be drained before the tank truck is loaded with concrete.

[0092] In some embodiments, S55 includes the following steps:

[0093] Use tunnel spray-mix scraper to install it on the spraying machine nozzle;

[0094] After each truckload of material is sprayed, use the tunnel spray-mixing scraper to clean the concrete bonded on the spandrels and arch supports;

[0095] The bonded concrete at the arch foot is cleaned manually using a manual floor shovel.

[0096] In the above-mentioned S55, during the spraying process, the concrete protruding from the I-beam needs to be scraped off to ensure that the spraying surface is flat. A tunnel spraying scraper is installed at the nozzle of the wet spraying machine. After each truckload of material is sprayed, the tunnel spraying scraper is used to clean the concrete adhering to the arch spandrels and arch frames, and the concrete adhering to the arch feet is cleaned manually using a manual floor shovel. The tunnel spraying scraper is equipped with a compression spring, which ensures that the protruding parts of the concrete are effectively scraped off and the flatness meets the requirements. At the same time, it greatly reduces the wear of the scraper on the machine and reduces the occurrence of over-scraping, which is safer and more effective than conventional scrapers.

[0097] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the tunnel spray-mix scraper includes a sleeve 1, one end of which is symmetrically provided with a sleeve slot 2, the other end of which is fixedly provided with a compression spring 3, and the end of the compression spring 3 facing away from the sleeve 1 is fixedly provided with a scraper 4, wherein the ends of the compression spring 3 are flattened and welded to the scraper 4 and the sleeve 1 respectively; specifically, the scraper is a steel plate of 400×200×10mm, the compression spring is a spring with a wire diameter of φ12, an outer diameter of 70mm, and a height of 250mm, and the sleeve 1 is a cylinder with an inner diameter of 25cm formed by bending a 10mm thick steel plate; as shown Figure 7 As shown, the manual floor shovel has a shovel plate 5, and a rod body 6 is fixedly provided at one end of the shovel plate 5; specifically, the shovel plate 5 is an inverted trapezoidal steel plate with a thickness of 10 mm, an upper edge width of 200 mm, and a length of the rod body 6 of 3 m.

[0098] The application effect of the tunnel initial support shotcrete zoning quality control construction method in this embodiment in a certain tunnel project. The tunnel project adopts the micro-step full-section construction method, and the initial support is protected by shotcrete. The amount of shotcrete used for each meter of upper and lower steps is 8.02m 3 The original construction initial support shotcrete backfill rate was about 22%. After adopting the "tunnel initial support shotcrete zoning quality control construction method", the initial support shotcrete backfill rate per meter was reduced to 8%, that is, the amount of shotcrete used per meter was reduced from (8.02*(100%+22%))=9.78m 3 Reduced to (8.02*(100%+8%))=8.66m 3 , the amount of concrete used per meter is reduced by 1.13m 3 According to the design estimate and the bidding documents, the comprehensive unit price of shotcrete is RMB 1,197.79 / m 3 From this, we can calculate that when the "Zone Quality Control Construction Method for Initial Tunnel Support Shotcrete" is used for initial tunnel support shotcrete construction, the tunnel project can save 1,353.5 yuan per linear meter of initial support shotcrete. For this section, the entire building and inclined shaft total 57,266.7 meters, saving a total of 77.51 million yuan, with significant economic benefits. At the same time, the "Zone Quality Control Construction Method for Initial Tunnel Support Shotcrete" reduces the amount of shotcrete used and speeds up construction, thereby saving resources such as machinery electricity and labor costs on the original construction results, resulting in significant overall comprehensive economic benefits.

[0099] In summary, the zoning quality control construction method for shotcrete in the initial support of the tunnel is simple to operate. The shotcrete adopts the construction method of "seven-zone spraying, zoning control of accelerator parameters, and zoning control of spraying flow rate and volume". A wet spraying machine is used for operation, and no other equipment and materials need to be added. The operation is simple and convenient for construction personnel. The process is closely connected. Through zoning spraying, the construction of the arch crown and arch foot can be carried out in a continuous manner. After each arch crown spraying, the lower step and the lower part of the upper step can be sprayed and accumulated. The process is closely connected, which improves the construction efficiency and progress. The material dosage is dynamically adjusted. By adjusting the dosage of the accelerator for the arch crown and arch foot during shotcrete spraying, the rebound rate of the shotcrete is effectively guaranteed, the material utilization rate is improved, and the construction cost is reduced.

[0100] The zoning quality control construction method for tunnel initial support shotcrete is suitable for tunnel projects where initial support shotcrete is constructed using a concrete wet spraying robot. It has the characteristics of simple operation, short construction period, low safety risk and low construction cost.
