Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering underground cavern blasting construction, and particularly relates to a gas cushion type surge chamber blasting excavation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the construction of gas cushion type surge chambers in water conservancy and hydropower engineering, the traditional blasting excavation method has several technical limitations. In terms of surrounding rock stability control, the conventional vertical layering method (usually 3 layers) is difficult to adapt to the stress distribution characteristics of large-span caverns (span > 20 meters), especially when the cavern height exceeds 40 meters. The unloading rebound caused by lower layer excavation will lead to shear slip of the upper layer supported side wall, and the measured interface displacement can reach 25-40 mm. This deformation is caused by stress redistribution at the layering interface. The existing technology relies on increasing the density of system anchors to control deformation, but the anchoring force transmission is affected by the rheological properties of the rock mass, and the supporting effectiveness decreases by more than 30% after the excavation period exceeds 7 days.
[0003] The water seepage pressure management problem is prominent. The surrounding rock of high water head surge chamber often develops a fracture network with a permeability coefficient of 10 -4 ~10 -3 cm / s. Although traditional pre-grouting can reduce seepage, the uniaxial compressive strength of the grouted rock mass increases by 35%-60%, and its brittleness leads to brittle fracture under the action of blasting vibration. Engineering measurements show that the blasting damage depth in the grouting area reaches 0.8-1.2 meters, which is 70% higher than that of the original rock mass, and the damage area and the non-grouting area are prone to form hydraulic fracturing channels. The existing technology attempts to reduce the overall charge to control vibration, but it leads to oversized rock fragments (> 60 cm, accounting for more than 35%), increasing the cost of mechanical crushing.
[0004] The essence of these problems lies in the fact that the mechanical response of layering excavation and the coupling effect of seepage field-stress field are not systematically coordinated; the blasting energy release and the spatial variation of rock mass strength lack an adaptive mechanism; and the vibration cumulative damage and time-dependent deformation control have not established a feedback path. The existing technology improves a single link (such as optimizing the number of layers or improving the grouting formula), but fails to integrate the dynamic correlation system of excavation procedure, seepage pressure control, and blasting parameter adjustment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] To further illustrate the technical means adopted by the present application and its effects, the present application will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not limiting to the present application.
[0029] It should be noted that the experimental methods described in the following embodiments are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified, and the reagents and materials can be obtained from commercial channels unless otherwise specified.
[0030] According to one of the schemes of the present application, a gas cushion type surge chamber blasting excavation method, a gas cushion type surge chamber blasting excavation method, characterized in that, comprising the following steps: The gas conditioning chamber is divided into 5 layers along the vertical direction, from top to bottom, the first layer is the top arch layer, the second layer is the upper side wall, the third layer is the middle side wall, the fourth layer is the lower side wall, and the fifth layer is the bottom plate layer; The first layer adopts the construction procedure of first expanding excavation on both sides of the middle pilot hole, first excavates the middle pilot hole along the axis of the chamber, then expands excavation to both sides, and ensures that the upper and lower side walls are expanded with a safe distance; Before the construction of the first layer top arch layer, drainage holes are drilled in the water seepage fracture development area and drainage curtain is formed by grouting to reduce the seepage pressure of the surrounding rock; The second layer, the third layer and the fourth layer are excavated in half, one side is excavated first, and the other side is excavated after the support is completed; The fifth layer is excavated by half-width horizontal light blasting, and a protection layer is reserved; Immediately after each layer is excavated, systematic anchor-shot supporting is performed to ensure that the surrounding rock is stable before the next layer is constructed; The blasting stone is mechanically loaded and transported.
[0031] For example, for the water-permeable and broken Ordovician slate geology: Layered excavation: Before the top arch layer of the first layer is excavated, drainage holes with a dip angle of 75° and a spacing of 0.8 m are drilled along the left side of the crack development area (0+36~0+40.7 m), and a drainage curtain is formed by injecting quick-setting chemical slurry; The middle pilot hole is excavated first, and the safety distance is controlled to be 5 m when the two sides are excavated; The second to fourth layers are excavated by half-width (the upstream side is supported first and then the downstream side); The fifth layer is excavated by half-width horizontal light blasting, and a protection layer of 1.2 m is reserved.
[0032] Dynamic support: anchor-shot support is completed within 2 hours after each layer is blasted, and the rock mass is stable before the next layer is excavated.
[0033] In the scheme, the drainage curtain actively blocks the water seepage path to avoid water-rock coupling weakening the strength of the surrounding rock; Layered half-width excavation reduces the superposition effect of blasting vibration and protects the existing supporting structure; The protection layer design ensures the integrity of the bottom plate rock mass and reduces the repair cost in the later period.
[0034] According to one of the embodiments of the present application, the middle pilot hole blasting adopts a staged charging structure: The cut hole uses a diameter of 35-40 mm cartridge to form an effective free face; The caving hole uses a diameter of 28-32 mm cartridge to control the rock fragmentation size; The peripheral hole uses a diameter of 20-25 mm cartridge to form an effective free face; For the drainage curtain grouting reinforcement area, a buffer hole is added between the cut hole and the peripheral hole, a shock-absorbing charging structure with a reduced line charge density of 30%-50% is used, and the blasting vibration is inhibited to trigger the brittle fracture of the rock mass in the grouting area.
[0035] The undercut hole is continuously charged with a 35-40 mm diameter cartridge to form an effective free surface, the caving hole is continuously charged with a 28-32 mm diameter cartridge to control the rock fragmentation size, and the peripheral hole is charged with a 20-25 mm diameter cartridge in an interval and decoupling manner. For the drainage curtain grouting reinforcement area, a buffer hole is additionally arranged between the undercut hole and the peripheral hole, a shock absorption charging structure with reduced linear charge density is adopted to inhibit the blasting vibration from triggering the brittle failure of the rock mass in the grouting area. Compared with the closest prior art, the traditional method does not provide a buffer hole and shock absorption charging in the grouting area, which leads to a significant increase in the blasting damage depth. The influence of the blasting vibration on the grouting reinforcement area is effectively controlled, the rock mass damage is reduced, and the stability of the excavation surface is improved.
[0036] According to one of the embodiments of the present application, the setting of the buffer hole and the shock absorption charging include the following operations: The buffer hole row is arranged in parallel along the outside of the excavation contour line of the drainage curtain grouting area at a distance of 0.8-1.2 m, and the hole spacing is 1.2-1.5 times that of the caving hole; The interval charging structure of the small-diameter cartridge is fixed by bamboo blanks, and the linear charge density is reduced by 30%-50% compared with the caving hole; The initiation timing is set as four-stage millisecond initiation of the undercut hole, the caving hole, the buffer hole, and the peripheral hole, and the delay time of adjacent segments is greater than 50 ms; The buffer hole charge density is dynamically adjusted according to the strength detection results of the rock core sampling in the grouting area: when the uniaxial compressive strength increases by more than 40%, the linear charge density is reduced by 50%; and when the increase is 20%-40%, the linear charge density is reduced by 30%.
[0037] The buffer hole row is arranged along the outside of the excavation contour line of the drainage curtain grouting area, the hole spacing is a multiple of the caving hole, the interval charging structure of the small-diameter cartridge is fixed by bamboo blanks, the linear charge density is reduced compared with the caving hole, the initiation timing is set as four-stage millisecond initiation, the delay time of adjacent segments is greater than 50 ms, and the buffer hole charge density is dynamically adjusted according to the strength detection results of the rock core sampling in the grouting area. Compared with the closest prior art, the traditional method does not dynamically adjust the charging parameters according to the rock mass strength, which is easy to cause excessive damage or insufficient fragmentation. The present scheme can optimize the blasting energy release, adapt to the rock mass strength variation, and enhance the blasting control precision and the surrounding rock protection effect.
[0038] According to one of the embodiments of the present application, the side wall expansion blasting adopts a differential charging strategy: The main caving area adopts a continuous charging structure to ensure sufficient rock fragmentation, and the main caving area refers to the blasting area outside the design contour line by 1.5 m; The contour control area adopts an interval and decoupling charging to reduce the damage to the formed surface, and the contour control area refers to a range of 0.3-1.5 m from the design contour line; Aiming at the strength difference between the influence area and the non-influence area of the drainage curtain, the strength mutation zone is located at the junction of the high strength area and the low strength area, extends along the contour line for 2-3 meters wide, and the variable density charging is implemented in the zone: the linear charging density in the high strength area is reduced by 30-40% of the reference value, the linear charging density in the low strength area is maintained at the reference value, the charging boundary is dynamically offset according to the grouting diffusion radius of the curtain, and the offset amount is controlled within 0.3-0.5 meters; the high strength area is the core influence area of the drainage curtain grouting, the uniaxial compressive strength of which is increased by more than 40% compared with the original rock mass, and the boundary is determined by drilling core strength detection; the low strength area is the original rock mass area not covered by the drainage curtain, and the reference rock mass strength characteristics are maintained.
[0039] The main collapse area adopts continuous charging structure to ensure that the rock is fully broken, the contour control area adopts interval decoupling charging to reduce the damage of the formed surface, the variable density charging is implemented for the strength mutation zone, the linear charging density in the high strength area is reduced, the linear charging density in the low strength area is maintained at the reference value, and the charging boundary is dynamically offset according to the grouting diffusion radius of the curtain. Compared with the closest prior art, the traditional method adopts uniform charging parameters, which cannot adapt to the spatial variation of rock mass strength, resulting in uneven quality of the contour surface. The scheme can improve the quality of the side wall excavation and forming, reduce the overbreak and underbreak phenomenon, and ensure the dimensional accuracy and long-term stability of the cavern structure.
[0040] According to one of the embodiments of the present application, the half-width excavation blasting implements energy gradient release control: The main blasting area adopts continuous charging to achieve efficient rock breaking; The pre-splitting area adopts interval decoupling charging to form a flat fracture surface; A transition hole row is additionally arranged between the pre-splitting hole and the main blasting hole, the linear charging density between the main blasting hole and the pre-splitting hole is used, a stress transmission buffer zone is formed, and the generation of blasting flyrock and the deformation of the contour surface are simultaneously inhibited.
[0041] The main blasting area adopts continuous charging to achieve efficient rock breaking, the pre-splitting area adopts interval decoupling charging to form a flat fracture surface, and a transition hole row is additionally arranged between the pre-splitting hole and the main blasting hole. The transition hole uses the linear charging density between the main blasting hole and the pre-splitting hole, thereby forming a stress transmission buffer zone. Compared with the closest prior art, the traditional method usually only sets the main blasting hole and the pre-splitting hole, lacks the intermediate energy transition zone, and the blasting stress wave is violently applied to the contour surface. By gradient release of blasting energy, the generation of blasting flyrock and the deformation of the contour surface are simultaneously inhibited, and the flatness and safety of the excavation surface are improved.
[0042] According to one of the embodiments of the present application, the implementation of the transition hole row includes the following operations: A single row of transition holes is arranged parallel to the contour line between the pre-splitting hole and the main blasting hole, which is 0.6-0.8 meters away from the pre-splitting hole and 0.4-0.6 meters away from the main blasting hole; The interval charging structure is fixed by bamboo blanks, and the linear charging density is 50% to 70% of the main blast hole; The initiation timing sequence is set as three-stage differential initiation of the pre-splitting hole, the transition hole and the main blast hole, and the delay between the segments is greater than 30 milliseconds; The buffer width is dynamically adjusted according to the surrounding rock conditions: when the rock mass integrity is poor, the transition hole column is widened to 1.2 meters in double-row arrangement, and the charging density gradient decreases.
[0043] The single-row transition hole is arranged between the pre-splitting hole and the main blast hole in parallel contour lines, and the spacing thereof from the pre-splitting hole and the main blast hole is strictly controlled. The interval charging structure is fixed by bamboo blanks, and the linear charging density is set as a proportion of the main blast hole. The initiation timing sequence is three-stage differential initiation and ensures sufficient delay between the segments. In addition, the buffer width and arrangement mode are dynamically adjusted according to the integrity of the surrounding rock. Compared with the closest prior art, the blasting parameters of the traditional method are relatively fixed and lack the ability of dynamic adjustment according to the rock mass conditions. The adaptability of blasting energy control is improved, and the optimization for different rock mass integrity is realized, so that a high-quality fracture surface is more reliably formed and the blasting hazards are controlled.
[0044] According to one of the embodiments of the application, the floor layer protection layer blasting implements rock mass integrity control: The horizontal light blasting technology is used to reduce the damage of blasting vibration to the floor; The reserved protection layer absorbs the impact of blasting energy; In view of the poor permeability difference of the floor rock mass caused by the drainage curtain grouting, the encryption shock absorption hole arrangement is implemented in the seepage active area to form a local stress dissipation network and block the propagation of blasting vibration waves to the foundation bearing rock mass; The encryption shock absorption hole arrangement includes the following steps: The area with pore water pressure > 0.2 MPa is marked as an encryption shock absorption area through advanced borehole seepage pressure monitoring; The shock absorption hole spacing in the reference area is 1.0 meters, The hole spacing in the encryption shock absorption area is reduced to 0.5 meters and arranged in a plum blossom shape to form a stress dissipation network; The shock absorption hole penetrates the protection layer to 0.5 meters below the bedrock, and the hole is filled with water-permeable sand and gravel to simultaneously realize vibration wave scattering and pore water drainage; When the real-time monitoring seepage pressure value rises to more than 0.3 MPa, a drainage pressure relief hole is additionally arranged in the center of the plum blossom hole network.
[0045] The horizontal light blasting technology is adopted and a protective layer is reserved, aiming at the poor permeability difference of the floor rock mass caused by the drainage curtain grouting, the seepage pressure is monitored through the advanced drilling, the high-porosity water pressure area is delimited as the encryption shock absorption area, the spacing between the shock absorption holes is reduced in the area and the quincunx arrangement is adopted to form a local stress dissipation network, the depth of the shock absorption hole requires penetrating the protective layer to a certain depth below the bedrock, the hole is filled with water permeable material to simultaneously realize the vibration wave scattering and the pore water drainage, and the drainage pressure relief hole is additionally arranged as necessary according to the real-time monitoring data. Compared with the closest prior art, the traditional floor blasting often ignores the coupling effect of the seepage field and the stress field, and the protection of the foundation rock mass is insufficient. The propagation of the blasting vibration wave to the key bearing rock mass is effectively blocked, and the damage risk of the blasting to the floor rock mass is significantly reduced through the drainage of the pore water pressure, so that the long-term stability and integrity of the floor are ensured According to one of the embodiments of the present application, it further comprises a reliability guarantee system for detonation in a water permeable environment: In the drainage curtain construction section, the blasting network adopts a double-loop non-electric detonation tube system, the main loop is laid along the high position of the wall, and the standby loop is laid along the inner wall of the drill hole; All detonation tube joints are wrapped with water-repellent buffer mortar, and a waterproof sealing cover is additionally installed outside the detonator; For the top arch dripping area, a quick-setting waterproof coating capsule is sleeved outside the detonating charge, which can form a sealed protective layer within 10 seconds after encountering water.
[0046] In the drainage curtain construction section, the blasting network adopts a double-loop non-electric detonation tube system, the main loop is laid along the high position of the wall to avoid water accumulation, and the standby loop is laid along the inner wall of the drill hole as a redundant guarantee, all detonation tube joints are wrapped with water-repellent buffer mortar to prevent moisture, and a waterproof sealing cover is additionally installed outside the detonator, for the top arch dripping area, a quick-setting waterproof coating capsule is sleeved outside the detonating charge, which can form a sealed protective layer after encountering water. Compared with the closest prior art, the traditional method usually adopts a single loop and the waterproof measures are simple and crude, which cannot cope with the extreme conditions of continuous water seepage and accidental soaking. The reliability of the detonation network in a humid or dripping environment is greatly improved, ensuring the success rate and construction safety of the blasting operation.
[0047] According to one of the embodiments of the present application, it further comprises the following steps: The micro-expansion quick-setting resin high-strength prestressed anchor rod is arranged in a ring shape on the excavated side at the interface between adjacent excavation layers, the high-strength prestressed anchor rod is inclined downward at an angle of 10°-15° and penetrates into the unexcavated rock mass of the lower layer by 3-5 meters, which is used to enhance the interlayer bonding and overall stability; The prestress compensation system is installed within 24 hours after each layer is excavated, the system includes a hydraulic jack and a pressure sensor, and the high-strength prestressed anchor rod tension is dynamically adjusted according to the surrounding rock convergence monitoring data; When the sidewall convergence rate exceeds 0.5 mm / d, the automatic compensation mode is started, and the prestress of the high-strength prestressed anchor rod is increased to 120%-150% of the design value. For the water seepage section of the drainage curtain, the free section of the high-strength prestressed anchor rod is wrapped with a water-permeable resin filter membrane, and the permeability coefficient is kept greater than or equal to 1*10 -3 cm / s, and stress transmission and pore water pressure dissipation are simultaneously achieved.
[0048] At the interface between adjacent excavation layers, the high-strength prestressed anchor rod is arranged on the excavated side in a ring shape, and the high-strength prestressed anchor rod is inclined downward into the unexcavated rock mass of the lower layer to a certain depth, which is used for pre-anchoring and enhancing the interlayer combination. A prestress compensation system containing a hydraulic jack and a pressure sensor is installed within a specified time after each layer is excavated. The system can dynamically adjust the tension of the high-strength prestressed anchor rod according to the surrounding rock convergence monitoring data. When the sidewall convergence rate exceeds a set threshold, the compensation mode is automatically started to increase the prestress of the high-strength prestressed anchor rod. For the water seepage section of the drainage curtain, the free section of the high-strength prestressed anchor rod is wrapped with a water-permeable resin filter membrane, which effectively dissipates pore water pressure while transmitting stress. Compared with the closest prior art, the traditional method is passive reinforcement after deformation occurs, and the interlayer anchoring and seepage pressure control are independent of each other. Active and collaborative control of interlayer deformation and seepage pressure is achieved, which significantly improves the overall stability of the high sidewall during the excavation process.
[0049] According to one embodiment of the present application, a vibration monitoring and protection system is arranged in a ring shape on the inside of the completed support sidewall: A distributed vibration sensor network is installed every 5 meters along the tunnel axis direction to real-time collect the blasting vibration velocity and frequency components; A blasting vibration cumulative damage model is established, and when the rock mass damage factor D is greater than 0.25, a self-advancing hollow grouting anchor rod is implemented in the damage area before the next cycle of blasting, and the anchor rod length penetrates the current excavation layer and penetrates the lower layer rock mass by 2 meters; For the influence area of the drainage curtain, a water-permeable polyurethane foam cushion layer is laid between the support layer and the surrounding rock, and the dynamic elastic modulus is controlled in the range of 0.5-1.0 GPa, and vibration wave scattering and water seepage drainage are simultaneously achieved.
[0050] Distributed vibration sensor network is installed along the hole axis direction at certain intervals to collect blasting vibration velocity and frequency components in real time, to establish a blasting vibration cumulative damage model for quantitative evaluation, and to implement advanced reinforcement by densifying self-advancing hollow grouting anchor in the damage area before the next cycle of blasting when the monitored rock mass damage factor exceeds the critical value. The anchor length penetrates the current excavation layer and extends into the underlying rock mass. For the influence area of drainage curtain, a specific dynamic elastic modulus range of water-permeable polyurethane foam cushion is laid between the support layer and the surrounding rock. Compared with the closest prior art, the traditional method mainly relies on experience and post-processing, and cannot provide early warning and active protection for invisible cumulative damage. Real-time monitoring, quantitative evaluation and active protection of blasting vibration cumulative damage are achieved, effectively protecting the long-term integrity of the surrounding rock and the initial support structure.
[0051] Although embodiments of the present application have been disclosed in connection with the above description and the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that they are not intended to limit the application to the specific form set forth, but on the contrary, it is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the application as defined by the appended claims.
