Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel engineering safety construction, in particular to a comprehensive treatment method for tunnel vault collapse cavity based on collapse cavity grading evaluation. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of tunnel engineering excavation construction, due to the adverse geological conditions such as gently inclined weak rock stratum, karst cave, fault fracture zone, etc., collapse often occurs in the range of arch top, forming cavities of different scales, and the surrounding rock in the cavity is unstable, which has the risk of continuous collapse, causing construction safety hazards; and the cavity also has adverse effects on the overall stress performance of the supporting and lining structure. Therefore, effective methods need to be taken to treat cavities of different grades.

[0003] The commonly used cavity treatment method at present is: for small-scale cavities, spray concrete backfill is adopted, and for larger-scale cavities, reinforced support is adopted, and after being closed, materials such as mortar are backfilled.

[0004] However, the existing tunnel cavity treatment method has the following technical problems:

[0005] Firstly, there is no reference standard after the collapse occurs, and the treatment measures prepared are of different strengths. If the backfill amount (thickness) of the collapse is too large, on the one hand, the initial support system may bear too much load, causing the initial support to be damaged, and on the other hand, the economy is not high; if the backfill amount (thickness) of the collapse is too small, there is a quality and safety hazard;

[0006] Secondly, when a single treatment measure is adopted, it is difficult to adapt to complex geological conditions and disaster situations; when different support measures are adopted for treatment, the coordination of the support structure and the safety factor after treatment are rarely considered, and the scheme is prepared only by experience, which is too extensive, and improper treatment may lead to the risk of damage to the support structure and secondary collapse.

[0120] As shown in Figure 1 A comprehensive treatment method for tunnel vault collapse based on collapsed cavity grading evaluation, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0121] S1) Measure the geometric parameters of the collapsed cavity, and divide the collapsed cavity size into grades I-IV according to the geometric parameters of the collapsed cavity, and the sizes of the grades I-IV collapsed cavities increase in turn.

[0122] The geometric parameters (height H, span B, axis direction length L, and volume V) of the collapsed cavity are measured by three-dimensional laser scanning, and the load of the collapsed cavity backfill is mainly related to the height of the collapsed cavity.

[0123] Specifically, according to the collapse height, the collapse scale is divided into levels I-IV, wherein when the collapse height is <0.5 m, the collapse scale is level I; when the collapse height is ≥0.5 m and <2.5 m, the collapse scale is level II; when the collapse height is ≥2.5 m and <5 m, the collapse scale is level III; and when the collapse height is >5 m, the collapse scale is level IV. See Table 1 for details.

[0124] Table 1 Collapse scale grading standard

[0125]

[0126] S2) Take grading control measures for the collapse.

[0127] Level I collapse control (collapse height H <0.5 m), the construction process includes: a. Multi-layer shotcrete backfilling and sealing of the collapse; b. Hanging steel mesh on the tunnel vault and spraying concrete; c. Laying radial system mortar anchor rods towards the collapse direction.

[0128] Specifically, after the risk is eliminated and the collapse site is stable, the collapse is backfilled and sealed by multi-layer shotcrete; the shotcrete is backfilled in layers to the original design excavation contour line, system anchor and shotcrete support measures are used, Φ8.0@15cm×15cm steel mesh is hung, the shotcrete thickness T1 is sprayed, radial system mortar anchor rods with a diameter of d (generally Φ22-Φ28) are laid out at an interval of 1.5-2.0m×1.5-2.0m, and the system anchor rod length L1 ≥max(H+2, R p +2), wherein R p is the plastic zone radius of the tunnel surrounding rock, and H is the collapse height. As shown in FIG. 1, it is a cross-sectional view of level I collapse control in the present application. Figure 2

[0129] Considering that the collapse backfilling height is small and the shotcrete and surrounding rock interface has good adhesion, at this time, the force acting on the shotcrete and system anchor rod is mainly the surrounding rock deformation pressure. Considering that the interaction process of support stiffness and surrounding rock deformation pressure is considered in the original primary support parameter design process, and a certain safety margin is left, the level I collapse control does not need to calculate the collapse control safety factor.

[0130] Level II collapse control (0.5 m≤H<2.5 m), the construction process includes: a. Initial shotcrete of the collapse; b. Hanging steel mesh on the tunnel vault and erecting steel arch; c. Preparing concrete backfilling pipes and exhaust pipes in the collapse; d. Spraying concrete on the outside of the steel arch to form a protective shell; e. Backfilling concrete through the backfilling pipes to densely fill the collapse, and monitoring the exhaust state in real time during the backfilling process; f. Laying system mortar anchor rods towards the collapse direction, which are vertically arranged and anchored into the stable surrounding rock through the backfilled concrete in the collapse area.

After the sprayed concrete reaches the design strength, the C25 concrete is backfilled through the backfill pipe to densely backfill the collapse, and the exhaust state is monitored in real time during the backfilling process. If the concrete backflow occurs, it should be closed immediately and the quick-setting mortar is injected for sealing.

The exhaust pipe opening is additionally provided with a blocking filter screen (mesh ≤5 mm) to prevent the concrete from flowing in.

[0133] The system mortar anchor rod is anchored into the stable surrounding rock by more than 2.0 m through the backfilled concrete in the collapse cavity area. The vertical system mortar anchor rod has a diameter d (generally Φ22-Φ28), an interval of 1.2-1.5 m*1.2-1.5 m, and a length L2≥max(H+2,R p +2), wherein R p is the radius of the plastic zone of the surrounding rock of the tunnel, and H is the height of the collapse cavity. As shown in FIG. 2, it is a cross section schematic view of the treatment of the II-grade collapse cavity in the present application. Figure 3

[0191] The construction process for treating a Class IV collapse cavity includes: a) performing counter-pressure backfilling, during which concrete backfill pipes and vent pipes are pre-embedded; b) backfilling with concrete of a set thickness through the backfill pipes and sealing the collapse cavity; c) constructing a pre-grouting large pipe shed in the arch area at a distance back from the collapsed tunnel section; d) multi-step short-advance excavation; e) system support closely following the tunnel face, hanging steel mesh, erecting steel arch frames, and spraying concrete; f) driving mortar anchors in the direction of the collapse cavity, with the mortar anchors in an outward octagonal shape, and anchoring them into the stable surrounding rock through the backfilled concrete in the collapse cavity area.

[0192] Specifically, the backfilling process begins with crushed stone and cavitary debris, during which concrete backfill pipes and vent pipes are pre-embedded. Considering the large collapse height, the high cost of backfilling the entire cavity with concrete, and the significant additional pressure on the support structure, the concrete backfill thickness is set at 5-8m. The backfill pipes can be seamless steel pipes with diameters ranging from 100mm to 200mm, ensuring the pipe diameter meets the concrete flow requirements. The backfill pipes are positioned diagonally upwards from the backfilling face, with the pipe opening 50-100cm from the bottom of the cavity. The vent pipes are PVC pipes with diameters ranging from 50mm to 150mm, positioned diagonally upwards from the backfilling face, always higher than the backfill pipe outlet, and with the pipe opening 0.5-1.0m above the final backfill surface. C25 concrete is then backfilled through the backfill pipes, with a backfill thickness of 5-8m.

[0193] After backfilling is completed, retreat 2-3 steel arch frames from the collapsed section, and construct a pre-grouting pipe roof within a 120-150° range of the top arch (range depending on the width of the collapsed cavity). The outer diameter D of the pipe roof is... g Wall thickness T g Spacing S p To increase the rigidity of the pipe roof, steel reinforcement bundles are added in the middle. Multi-step, short-advance excavation is employed, with each cycle typically extending at the arch frame spacing. The system support closely follows the working face, with steel mesh installed, steel arch frames erected, and shotcrete applied. After the shotcrete reaches its design strength, outward-facing octagonal mortar anchors are installed, penetrating the backfilled concrete in the collapsed cavity area and anchoring into the stable surrounding rock for at least 2.0m. For example... Figure 5 The diagram shown is a cross-sectional schematic of the Class IV cavity treatment in this invention (backfilling is done by pressing against the working face, within the excavation outline area, and is not shown in the diagram).
