Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel engineering support technology, specifically to a method, system, equipment, and storage medium for calculating the bearing capacity of tunnel support. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous advancement of transportation infrastructure construction in my country, the number of long and deep-buried tunnels is increasing daily. During tunnel construction, complex geological conditions can easily lead to engineering disasters such as tunnel deformation, shotcrete spalling, and secondary lining cracking, which seriously threaten construction safety.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, steel-shotcrete structures have been widely used in the initial support of tunnels due to their timely support capabilities. However, because the surface of the steel arch is relatively smooth, the natural bonding performance between the steel arch and the shotcrete is poor. Under high surrounding rock loads, the two are prone to relative delamination, which greatly affects the cooperative deformation capacity and joint load-bearing capacity of the support structure.
[0004] To improve the initial support's bearing capacity, the project employed circumferentially arranged stirrups on the steel flanges to enhance the bond between concrete and steel, thereby increasing the stiffness and bearing capacity of the steel-concrete composite structure. This reduces relative spalling between the steel and shotcrete, improving the safety and economy of tunnel construction. However, the design of stirrup-constrained steel-concrete composite supports currently faces the challenge of determining the bearing capacity under multiple factors. Accurate and effective calculation methods for the bearing capacity of stirrup-constrained tunnel supports are lacking, and most methods rely on empirical selection, failing to fully utilize the superior performance of stirrup-constrained tunnel supports.
