Abstract

This invention provides a system and construction method for treating arching defects in the pavement of operating tunnels located in underlying karst strata. The tunnel lining is pre-reinforced by installing an arc-shaped I-beam internal support frame. The height and tension of the I-beam internal support frame are adjusted using longitudinal steel beams. After pre-reinforcement, the concrete pavement layer and the underlying broken rock layer are excavated, and the middle section of the tunnel invert is poured. The surrounding rock pressure is transferred to the middle invert via the supporting steel frame. The surrounding rock at the arch foot is then excavated, and concrete is poured to form a closed structure, transferring the tunnel's surrounding rock pressure to the invert. After the closed invert is constructed, the concrete lining is reinforced using a combination of "W-shaped steel strip + anchor grouting + sprayed steel fiber concrete" to solve problems such as cracking, heave, deformation, and voiding in the operating tunnel. Grooves are cut at the transverse expansion joints where water seepage occurs, and channel steel is pre-embedded in the grooves as a water guiding channel to promptly drain seepage water from the pavement into the drainage ditches on both sides.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of operating tunnel comprehensive treatment construction, in particular to a subsurface karst stratum operating tunnel pavement arching disease treatment system and construction method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of highway construction in China, the mileage of highway tunnels is increasing. Highway tunnels often pass through complex geological strata, such as subsurface karst strata, water-rich geology, and soft rock strata, which brings great challenges to the design, construction, and later maintenance of tunnels, especially for some tunnels in earlier years that did not fully explore the underground geological conditions, in order to save costs for economic benefits, inverted arches were not set, resulting in the following problems in tunnel operation after many years:

[0003] (1) There are broken carbonaceous limestones in the lower part of the tunnel, and there are local caves or cavities, causing the tunnel pavement to sink to varying degrees.

[0004] (2) The lower part of the tunnel has a water seepage channel, which causes the pavement to rise under the action of water pressure in the rainy season. The pavement uplift causes extrusion of the arch foot to the outside, and the lining deforms and cracks to the surrounding rock under the extrusion.

[0005] (3) The surrounding rock around the tunnel is relatively broken, and effective reinforcement measures were not taken during construction. After many years of operation, the arch top and side wall have multiple cracking, voiding, and under-reinforcement diseases under the action of natural settlement.

[0006] (4) Underground water connects longitudinal and transverse expansion joints through seepage joints in some sections, and underground water flows out of the pavement, posing a hidden danger to tunnel driving safety. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide a subsurface karst stratum operating tunnel pavement arching disease treatment system and construction method to solve the above technical problems.

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a construction method for a subsurface karst stratum operating tunnel pavement arching disease treatment system, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Step 1, construction preparation: use geological radar detection equipment, seismic surface wave exploration equipment, and crack depth and width detection equipment to detect and mark the number and location of caves and through cracks in broken carbonaceous limestones, the location and number of concrete pavement cracking and uplift, the number and water seepage amount of seepage joints, the crack depth and number of concrete lining, and the number of hollowing, under-reinforcement, and voiding diseases between concrete lining and reserved deformation.

[0010] Step 2, Lining Pre-reinforcement: Remove the cable trench, chisel away the locally broken carbonaceous limestone at the arch foot, clean up the stone debris and level it, then assemble the arc-shaped I-beam inner support into a ring in sections. The inner support of the I-beam is tightly attached to the concrete lining. After adjusting the position and tightness of the inner support of the I-beam, install locking anchor rods to lock the feet of the inner support of the I-beam.

[0011] Step 3: Grouting reinforcement of fractured carbonaceous limestone: In areas where there are karst caves, through cracks, and arching of concrete pavement beneath the fractured carbonaceous limestone, boreholes are drilled through the concrete pavement to a certain depth beneath the fractured carbonaceous limestone. Several grouting pipes are inserted into the boreholes in an array. Cement grout is first injected into the boreholes through the grouting pipes, followed by a cement grout + water glass grout. The grouting process fills the karst caves and through cracks, thereby strengthening the fractured carbonaceous limestone.

[0012] Step 4: Remove cracked and bulging concrete pavement: If the grouting reinforcement effect is poor, excavate and remove the cracked and bulging concrete pavement, and excavate and remove the broken carbonaceous limestone under the concrete pavement to a certain depth. Leave the surrounding rock at the arch foot without excavating or removing it.

[0013] Step 5: Construction of the invert arch in the center of the road surface: The invert arch is poured in layers. After the invert arch reaches a certain strength, an arc-shaped steel plate with a matching curvature is placed on the invert arch.

[0014] Step 6: Construction of the invert arch at the arch foot: After the pressure of the surrounding rock around the tunnel is transferred to the invert arch, the surrounding rock at the arch foot is removed, and the invert arch concrete at the arch foot is poured to connect the invert arch with the initial support and concrete lining to form a closed structure. After the invert arch concrete reaches the designed strength, the supporting steel frame, arc steel plate, anchor bolt, and I-beam internal support are removed in sequence, the invert arch filling layer is backfilled, and the cable trench and drainage ditch are restored.

[0015] Step 7, W-steel strip installation: After the invert arch and invert arch filling layer are completed, the W-steel strip with pre-drilled holes for anchor bolts is tightly attached to the cracked concrete lining and the W-steel strip is fixed to the surface of the concrete lining.

[0016] Step 8: Grouting Anchor Installation: Drill grouting holes into the fractured surrounding rock along the anchor holes reserved in the W steel strip. The grouting holes are arranged in a quincunx pattern. Insert the grouting anchor into the grouting hole and fix the end of the grouting anchor to the W steel strip. First inject single-component cement grout into the grouting anchor, and then inject double-component grout of "cement grout + water glass".

[0017] Step 9, Steel Fiber Concrete Shotcrete: Lay a steel mesh on the surface of the W-steel strip, spray steel fiber concrete onto the W-steel strip to seal the W-steel strip and the grouting anchor rods, and then apply polymer mortar to the surface after spraying the steel fiber concrete.

[0018] Step 10, Grooving the transverse expansion joint for seepage: For road sections where seepage joints in the fractured carbonaceous limestone are connected to transverse expansion joints in the concrete pavement, resulting in a large amount of water seepage in the concrete pavement, grooves are chiseled at the transverse expansion joints.

[0019] Step 11: Install the channel steel: Pre-embed the channel steel in the groove, ensuring that the channel steel presses down on the seepage joint;

[0020] Step 12: Filling and leveling the grooves: Use waterproof geotextile to fill the gaps on both sides of the channel steel, cover the waterproof geotextile with polymer mortar, and after the surface of the polymer mortar sealant has dried, fill and compact the grooves with early-strength cement-based grout to restore the original state of the road surface.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. This invention first sets up an arc-shaped I-beam internal support steel frame for lining pre-reinforcement. After lining pre-reinforcement, the concrete pavement layer and the broken rock layer under the pavement are excavated, and the middle part of the tunnel invert arch is poured. The surrounding rock pressure is transferred to the middle part of the invert arch through the supporting steel frame. Then, the surrounding rock at the arch foot is excavated and concrete is poured to form a closed structure. The lining pre-reinforcement ensures the normal construction of the invert arch. By setting the invert arch, the closure of the tunnel lining is achieved, which improves the structural strength of the tunnel.

[0023] 2. The internal support steel frame of the I-beam of this invention is adjusted in height and tightness by longitudinal steel lifting beams. By setting up the supporting steel frame, the pressure of the surrounding rock of the tunnel is transferred to the middle part of the invert. After the invert is closed, the supporting steel frame, the internal support of the I-beam and other pre-reinforcement structures are removed, and the pressure of the surrounding rock of the tunnel is transferred to the closed invert, which solves the risk of the tunnel collapsing due to lack of support structure during the construction of the invert.

[0024] 3. After the invert arch is installed, the cracked concrete lining is reinforced by a combination of "W steel strip + anchor grouting + sprayed steel fiber concrete" to solve problems such as cracking, heave, deformation and voiding in the operating tunnel.

[0025] 4. This invention adopts a construction process of pre-reinforcement of the inner support steel frame of the lining → grouting reinforcement of the broken rock layer under the road surface → excavation and pouring of the middle part of the inverted arch → transfer of surrounding rock pressure to the middle inverted arch → excavation and pouring of the arch foot inverted arch → removal of the lining pre-reinforcement structure → transfer of surrounding rock pressure to the closed inverted arch → "W steel strip + anchor grouting + sprayed steel fiber concrete" combined reinforcement, which effectively solves the problem of tunnel defects in the underlying karst strata without an inverted arch.

[0026] 5. This invention solves the problem of road surface cracking and water seepage in tunnels without an inverted arch by cutting grooves at the transverse expansion joints where water seepage occurs, pre-embedding channel steel in the grooves as a water guiding channel, connecting both ends of the channel steel to the drainage ditch, and filling the gaps on both sides of the channel steel with waterproof geotextile and polymer mortar to seal and waterproof, so that the seepage water in the seepage joints under the road surface can be discharged to the drainage ditches on both sides in a timely manner.

[0043] like Figures 1-12 The present invention provides a construction method for a system to treat arching defects in the pavement of operating tunnels in underlying karst strata, comprising the following steps:

[0044] Step 1, Construction Preparation: Using ground-penetrating radar detection equipment, seismic surface wave exploration equipment, and crack depth and width detection equipment, the quantity and location of karst caves 5 and through cracks 8 in the fractured carbonaceous limestone 4, the location and number of cracks and uplifts in the concrete pavement 7, the number and amount of water seepage cracks 32, the depth and number of cracks in the concrete lining 3, and the number of hollow, undercompacted, and detached defects between the concrete lining 3 and the reserved deformation amount 2 are detected and marked, and a special treatment plan is formulated.

[0045] Step 2, Lining Pre-Reinforcement: Remove the cable trough 10, chisel away the locally broken carbonaceous limestone 4 at the arch foot, clean up the stone debris and level it, then set up adjustable supports 17, place support steel plates 18 on the adjustable supports 17, place longitudinal steel lifting beams 16 on the support steel plates 18, assemble the arc-shaped I-beam inner support 12 into a ring in sections, with the I-beam inner support 12 tightly attached to the concrete lining 3, and the feet of the I-beam inner support 12 supported on the longitudinal steel lifting beams 16. After adjusting the position and tension of the I-beam inner support 12, install locking anchor rods 14 to lock the feet of the I-beam inner support 12. Set up supporting steel frames 13 inside the ring of the I-beam inner support 12 for support and reinforcement, and the longitudinal spacing between adjacent I-beam inner supports 12 is 1m.

[0046] Step 3: Grouting Reinforcement of Crushed Carbonaceous Limestone: At locations beneath the crushed carbonaceous limestone 4 where there are karst caves 5, through cracks 8, and arched concrete pavement 7, a drilling rig is used to drill holes through the concrete pavement 7 to a certain depth beneath the crushed carbonaceous limestone 4. Several grouting pipes 15 are inserted into the holes in an array, with a longitudinal and transverse spacing of 1m x 1m. Cement grout is first injected into the holes through the grouting pipes 15, followed by a "cement grout + water glass" two-component grout. The water-cement ratio, water glass modulus, and concentration of the cement grout are determined through testing based on the severity of the damage (this invention only provides the construction process; specific parameters are designed based on the degree of crushing of the limestone at the construction site). The strength of the crushed carbonaceous limestone 4 is reinforced by filling the karst caves 5 and through cracks 8 through grouting.

[0047] Step 4: Remove Cracked and Heaved Concrete Pavement: In sections where the fractured carbonaceous limestone 4 is extremely fractured, with numerous through cracks 8 and significant heaving of the concrete pavement 7, and where grouting reinforcement is ineffective, excavate and remove the cracked and heaved concrete pavement 7. Also excavate and remove the fractured carbonaceous limestone 4 beneath the concrete pavement 7 to a certain depth. Each excavation cycle should be ≤3m long. Depending on the situation, use the inverted arch trestle for skip-slot excavation to increase the working face and improve construction efficiency. To prevent the tunnel from losing support, the surrounding rock 19 at the arch foot will be left unexcavated initially.

[0048] Step 5: Construction of the central section of the road surface arch: The arch 20 is poured in layers. After the arch 20 reaches a certain strength, an arc-shaped steel plate 21 with a matching curvature is placed on the arch 20, and the supporting steel frame 13 is supported on the arc-shaped steel plate 21.

[0049] Step 6: Construction of the invert arch at the arch foot: After the pressure of the surrounding rock around the tunnel is transferred to the invert arch 20 through the internal support of the I-beam 12 and the supporting steel frame 13, the surrounding rock 19 at the arch foot is removed, and the invert arch concrete at the arch foot is poured to connect the invert arch 20 with the initial support 1 and the concrete lining 3 to form a closed structure. After the concrete strength of the invert arch 20 reaches the design value, the supporting steel frame 13, the arc-shaped steel plate 21, the anchor bolt 14, and the internal support of the I-beam 12 are removed in sequence, the invert arch filling layer 22 is backfilled, and the cable trough 10 and drainage ditch 11 are restored.

[0050] Step 7, Installation of W steel strip: After the construction of the invert arch 20 and the invert arch filling layer 22 is completed, the pre-fabricated W steel strip 24 with anchor bolt reserved holes 27 is tightly attached to the cracked concrete lining 3. The W steel strip 24 is fixed to the surface of the concrete lining 3 with expanded bottom anchor bolts, and a ring of W steel strip 24 is set at every 1m interval.

[0051] Step 8: Grouting Anchor Installation: Drill grouting holes into the fractured surrounding rock 23 along the anchor holes 27 of the W steel strip 24. The grouting holes are arranged in a quincunx pattern. Insert the grouting anchors 26 into the grouting holes. Fix the ends of the grouting anchors 26 to the W steel strip 24. The circumferential spacing of the grouting anchors 26 is 2m. First, inject single-component cement grout into the grouting anchors 26, and then inject a double-component grout of "cement grout + water glass". The grouting parameters such as the water-cement ratio, water glass concentration, and grouting pressure are adjusted according to the actual site conditions.

[0052] Step Nine, Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Shotcrete: Lay a steel mesh on the surface of the W-shaped steel strip 24 with a mesh spacing of 20cm × 20cm. Add approximately 1% by volume of steel fibers (0.3mm-0.5mm in diameter and 10-15mm in length) to the concrete. Shotcrete 25, 12cm thick, onto the W-shaped steel strip 24 to seal it and the grouting anchor rods 26. After shotcreting the steel fiber reinforced concrete 25, apply polymer mortar to improve the appearance quality.

[0053] Step 10, Grooving the transverse expansion joint for seepage: Since the seepage joint 32 in the broken carbonaceous limestone 4 is connected to the transverse expansion joint 28 in the concrete pavement 7, resulting in a large number of seepage sections in the concrete pavement 7, a groove 30 is chiseled at the transverse expansion joint 28. The width and depth of the groove 30 are determined according to the amount of seepage.

[0054] Step 11: Install the channel steel: Thoroughly clean the groove 30. Make a standardized channel steel 29 according to the depth and width of the groove 30. Pre-embed the channel steel 29 in the groove 30, ensuring that the channel steel 29 presses on the seepage joint 32. Cut tongue and groove joints 37 on the drainage ditches 11 on both sides. Insert both ends of the channel steel 29 into the tongue and groove joints 37 of the drainage ditches 11. Set water baffles 33 at the ends of the channel steel 29 to seal and block water. Through the water guiding channel 36 in the channel steel 29, drain a large amount of water gushing from the seepage joint 32 into the drainage ditches 11 on both sides.

[0055] Step 12, Groove filling and leveling: Use waterproof geotextile 34 to fill the gaps on both sides of the channel steel 29, and cover the waterproof geotextile 34 with polymer mortar 35. After the surface of the polymer mortar 35 sealant is dry, use early-strength cement-based grout 31 to fill, compact and smooth the groove 30 to enhance the surface impermeability and restore the original state of the road surface. Perform appropriate maintenance according to the performance of the treatment materials to ensure that no cracks occur within a certain period of time.

[0056] This invention also discloses a system for treating arching defects in the pavement of operating tunnels located in underlying karst strata, such as... Figure 1 The diagram shows the structural principle of arching defects in the pavement of an operating tunnel in an underlying karst stratum. It includes initial support 1, reserved deformation allowance 2, concrete lining 3, fractured carbonaceous limestone 4, karst cave 5, water pressure 6, concrete pavement 7, through cracks 8, external thrust 9, cable trough 10, drainage ditch 11, and invert arch 20. The concrete pavement 7 in the operating tunnel does not have an invert arch 20. Beneath the concrete pavement 7 is fractured carbonaceous limestone 4, which contains localized karst caves 5. The accumulated water in the karst caves 5 generates water pressure 6, causing multiple through cracks 8 in the fractured carbonaceous limestone 4, simultaneously causing the concrete pavement 7 to bulge. This bulging of the concrete pavement 7 generates external thrust 9 on both sides, squeezing the concrete lining 3 and causing multiple cracks in the lining.

[0057] like Figure 2 The diagram shows the grouting reinforcement of the fractured rock layer under the road surface of the tunnel in the underlying karst strata. It includes fractured carbonaceous limestone 4, concrete road surface 7, through crack 8, grouting pipe 15, etc. The grouting pipe 15 passes through the concrete road surface 7 and is driven into the fractured carbonaceous limestone 4 to a certain depth (the depth is generally the fractured carbonaceous limestone and the bottom of the karst cave). The through crack 8 is repaired and reinforced by injecting cement grout + water glass dual liquid grout.

[0058] like Figures 2-3The enlarged view of the bottom installation and fixing structure of the arc-shaped I-beam internal support steel frame shown includes a concrete lining 3, a cable trough 10, an I-beam internal support 12, a bracing steel frame 13, a locking anchor rod 14, a longitudinal steel lifting beam 16, an adjustable support 17, and a supporting steel plate 18. The I-beam internal supports 12 are installed inside the partially cracked concrete lining 3 for pre-reinforcement. The I-beam internal supports 12 are circumferential internal support structures, closely attached to the concrete lining 3, with a longitudinal spacing of 1m. After the cable trough 10 is removed from the foot of the inner support 12 of the I-beam, a longitudinal steel lifting beam 16 is installed. The longitudinal steel lifting beam 16 rests on the support steel plate 18. Multiple adjustable supports 17 are provided at the lower part of the support steel plate 18. The height and tightness of the inner support 12 of the I-beam can be adjusted by the adjustable supports 17. The foot of the inner support 12 of the I-beam is locked by the locking anchor rod 14. A counter-bracing steel frame 13 is installed inside the arch of the inner support 12 of the I-beam for counter-bracing and reinforcement.

[0059] The adjustable support 17 can adopt a jack structure to adjust the height of the supporting steel plate 18, thereby adjusting the height of the longitudinal steel lifting beam 16 and the feet of the I-beam inner support 12. After the adjustment is completed, it is then locked by the foot anchor rod 14.

[0060] like Figure 4 The diagram shows the pre-reinforcement excavation and casting of the intermediate invert arch structure for the operating tunnel in the underlying karst strata. It includes broken carbonaceous limestone 4, concrete pavement 7, surrounding rock 19 at the arch foot, and invert arch 20. When the raised concrete pavement 7 is removed, the central part of the pavement is removed first, and then removed from the middle to both sides. At the same time, the broken carbonaceous limestone 4 under the concrete pavement 7 is removed to a certain depth (generally the design depth of the invert arch). The surrounding rock 19 at the arch foot is not removed first. The invert arch 20 is set after the raised concrete pavement 7 is removed.

[0061] like Figures 5-7 The diagram shows the pre-reinforcement structure of the tunnel operating in the underlying karst strata, which transmits force to the intermediate invert arch. It includes a concrete lining 3, an I-beam internal support 12, a supporting steel frame 13, surrounding rock at the arch foot 19, an invert arch 20, an arc-shaped steel plate 21, and an invert arch filling layer 22. An arc-shaped steel plate 21 with matching curvature is placed on the invert arch 20, and the supporting steel frame 13 is erected on the arc-shaped steel plate 21. The supporting steel frame 13 transmits the tunnel surrounding rock pressure to the invert arch 20. Then, the surrounding rock 19 at the arch foot is removed, and concrete is poured at the arch foot to form a closed structure for the invert arch 20. After the invert arch 20 and the concrete lining 3 form a closed loop, the I-beam internal support 12, the supporting steel frame 13, and other pre-reinforcement structures are removed, the invert arch filling layer 22 is backfilled, and the cable trough 10 and drainage ditch 11 are restored.

[0062] like Figures 7-8The diagram shows a combined reinforcement structure for an operating tunnel in an underlying karst stratum, consisting of a W-shaped steel strip, anchor bolt grouting, and shotcrete. This includes a concrete lining 3, fractured surrounding rock 23, a W-shaped steel strip 24, steel fiber concrete 25, grouting anchor bolts 26, and anchor bolt pre-drilled holes 27. The cracked concrete lining 3 is reinforced using a combination of W-shaped steel strip, anchor bolt grouting, and shotcrete. The W-shaped steel strips 24 are circumferentially fixed to the surface of the concrete lining 3 by anchor bolts, with a longitudinal spacing of 1m. Multiple pre-drilled anchor holes 27 are pre-drilled in a plum blossom pattern on the 24. The grouting anchor 26 passes through the pre-drilled anchor holes 27 and is driven into the broken surrounding rock 23 for grouting reinforcement. The circumferential spacing of the grouting anchor 26 is 2m. The grouting anchor 26 is first injected with single-component cement grout, and then injected with a double-component grout of "cement grout + water glass". Steel fiber reinforced concrete 25 is sprayed onto the W steel strip 24 for sealing. The thickness of the steel fiber reinforced concrete 25 sprayed is between 12-15cm. The surface of the steel fiber reinforced concrete 25 is plastered with polymer mortar.

[0063] like Figures 9-11 The diagram shows a transverse expansion joint groove embedded in a channel steel in an operating tunnel with seepage. It includes fractured carbonaceous limestone 4, concrete pavement 7, an invert 20, a transverse expansion joint 28, a channel steel 29, and a groove 30. The concrete pavement 7 does not have an invert 20 underneath. The fractured carbonaceous limestone 4 beneath a portion of the concrete pavement 7 has multiple seepage joints 32. These joints extend from the fractured carbonaceous limestone 4 into the concrete pavement 7 and connect with the transverse expansion joint 28, forming a channel for water to overflow onto the pavement. A groove 30 is chiseled downwards at the transverse expansion joint 28 of the concrete pavement 7. The width and depth of the groove 30 are determined based on the amount of seepage.

[0064] like Figures 10-12 The diagram shows a detailed installation of a channel steel and waterproof structure within a groove at the transverse expansion joint of the road surface. This includes a drainage ditch 11, early-strength cement-based grouting material 31, a seepage joint 32, a water-retaining plate 33, waterproof geotextile 34, polymer mortar 35, a water-guiding channel 36, and a tongue-and-groove joint 37. A channel steel 29 is placed in the center of the groove 30, pressing against the seepage joint 32. The channel steel 29 extends transversely along the road surface. A tongue-and-groove joint 37 is provided on the drainage ditch 11. The end is inserted into the tongue and groove 37; waterproof geotextile 34 is first laid in the gap on both sides of the channel steel 29, and then polymer mortar 35 is poured in. The two ends of the channel steel 29 are connected to the drainage ditch 11. Water baffles 33 are set at the ends of the channel steel 29 to block water.
