Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of geotechnical engineering and tunnel engineering, and more specifically to a method for designing anchor bolts at the tunnel face based on a generalized logarithmic spiral failure model. Background Technology
[0002] Tunnel face instability is the most common and extremely dangerous engineering hazard in the construction of tunnels in weak surrounding rock. Extensive engineering practice shows that the vast majority of surrounding rock instability originates in the area adjacent to the tunnel face, and its stability directly restricts the overall safety and progress of tunnel construction. To effectively control tunnel face deformation, a rock and soil deformation control analysis method is proposed. This method emphasizes that the deformation of the core soil ahead of the tunnel face is the root cause of overall tunnel surrounding rock deformation, and that systematic advance support must be used to actively constrain the tunnel face to maintain the self-stabilizing capacity of the core soil.
[0003] Against this backdrop, accurately determining the ultimate constraint force required for tunnel face stability and scientifically formulating anchor bolt design parameters accordingly has become an urgent need in current soft rock tunnel engineering. Currently, tunnel face stability analysis mainly employs the limit equilibrium method and the limit analysis method, with the limit equilibrium method being the most widely used in engineering practice due to its relatively simple calculation. This method generally adopts the classic "prism-wedge" failure model, simplifying the potentially loosened body into a combination of a lower wedge and an upper prism, and the fracture surface into a single logarithmic spiral or circular arc curve, and then back-calculating the ultimate constraint force at the tunnel face based on static equilibrium conditions.
[0004] However, such traditional simplified models have the following significant limitations:
[0005] First, the assumptions about the fracture surface morphology are highly idealized, and the calculation model has a single morphology and insufficient universality.
[0006] Current stability analyses of the core soil at tunnel faces typically simplify the failure surface into a single logarithmic spiral or circular arc. While this simplifies the calculation process, it has significant physical limitations: the former is mainly applicable to sandy soils dominated by internal friction angle, while the latter is more suitable for cohesive soils dominated by cohesion. However, most rock and soil masses exhibit composite characteristics influenced by both cohesion and internal friction angle, with their strength characteristics and failure mechanisms jointly governed by both. This makes it difficult for traditional methods to accurately simulate the true fracture trajectory of rock and soil masses.
[0007] Second, existing research still has significant limitations in characterizing the three-dimensional morphology of loosened areas.
[0008] Current theoretical analyses are mostly based on the assumption of two-dimensional plane strain, which makes it difficult to accurately characterize the three-dimensional spatial effects during the instability process at the tunnel face. Although some studies have attempted to construct three-dimensional models, their geometry is still overly idealized: the upper part of the failure body is usually simplified to a cylinder or ellipsoid, and the lower part to a wedge. This combination leads to abnormal curvature continuity at the junction of the upper and lower parts, ignoring the continuous deformation and progressive failure process of the failure body in three-dimensional space. This results in biases in the judgment of the spatial range of the loosening zone, the failure volume, and the instability mechanism, directly weakening the reliability of subsequent support parameter design.
[0009] Third, the design of anchor bolts at the tunnel face is highly dependent on engineering experience, and the theoretical support is still incomplete.
[0010] Currently, key design parameters such as anchor spacing and density are mainly determined by engineering experience, lacking systematic theoretical calculation methods. This leads to highly subjective design results and is prone to imbalances between safety and economy, such as insufficient or excessive support. Regarding length configuration, current designs generally use uniform lengths for homogeneous placement, failing to fully consider the spatial variation in fracture depth at different elevations of the tunnel face. Especially in the lower tunnel region, influenced by ground stress distribution and surrounding rock characteristics, the actual fracture depth is usually shallower; using the same anchor length as in the upper region would result in significant material redundancy.
[0011] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an analytical method that can be compatible with the properties of various soil and rock masses, accurately characterize the spatial morphology of loosened areas, and directly guide the quantitative design of anchor bolt parameters.

[0074] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a method for designing anchor bolts at the tunnel face based on a generalized logarithmic spiral failure model, which has the following advantages:
[0075] (1) This invention proposes a generalized logarithmic spiral failure model, which innovatively introduces a friction weighting coefficient. This coefficient is used to characterize the relative contribution weight of the internal friction angle in the overall strength of soil and rock. Based on the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion, it is established with respect to the relationship between cohesion c and the internal friction angle. The model dynamically adjusts the geometric morphology of the fracture surface through a functional relationship, using its value. This model overcomes the limitations of traditional methods in terms of the singular fracture surface morphology and narrow applicability, significantly improving the ability to characterize the failure mechanisms of different soil and rock masses. It unifies the mathematical description rules of the spatial morphology of fracture surfaces for various soil and rock masses, and can accurately reproduce the continuous failure process and fracture surface morphology characteristics of various soil and rock materials, from pure cohesive soil to pure sand, and those in between.
[0076] (2) This invention optimizes the traditional "prism-wedge" model by transforming the upper loosening zone of the failure body in front of the tunnel face into a combined structure of a dome-shaped rectangular bottom silo and a hemispherical collapse body, thus achieving a smooth and continuous transition in morphology between the upper loosening zone and the lower generalized logarithmic spiral sliding body. This invention effectively solves the problem of morphological discontinuity at the connection between the upper and lower parts of the original model, and can more realistically reflect the continuous deformation and progressive failure mechanism of the failure body in three-dimensional space, thereby accurately characterizing the spatial morphology of the loosening zone in front of the tunnel face and restoring the actual physical process of instability and failure.
[0077] (3) Based on the proposed generalized logarithmic spiral failure model, and combined with an optimized three-dimensional analysis model that accurately characterizes the continuous spatial morphology of the loosened zone in front of the tunnel face, this invention constructs a complete theoretical system for tunnel face stability analysis. By establishing the system's mechanical equilibrium equations through limit analysis, the precise solution to the limit constraint force of the tunnel face is achieved, significantly improving the reliability and accuracy of the calculation results. On this basis, this invention uses the obtained limit constraint force as a key design input, providing a theoretical basis for the scientific determination of anchor bolt support parameters.
[0078] (4) Based on the analytical solution of the ultimate constraint force at the tunnel face derived by the limit equilibrium method, this invention proposes theoretical calculation formulas for the density and length of anchor bolt support, providing a quantitative basis for tunnel face support design. On this basis, the concept of "tunnel face core soil fracture envelope" is innovatively introduced. By using anchor bolts with gradually varying lengths in the lower half of the cross-section, the spatial layout of the tunnel face anchor bolts is optimized, significantly improving the matching degree between the anchor bolt length and the fracture depth of the core soil at the tunnel face. This method not only improves the theoretical system of tunnel face anchor bolt design but also provides systematic theoretical support for the stability analysis of tunnel faces and the optimized arrangement of anchor bolts, effectively enhancing the scientific nature, reliability, and engineering applicability of anchor bolt reinforcement design.

[0085] This invention discloses a method for designing anchor bolts at the tunnel face based on a generalized logarithmic spiral failure model, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0086] S1: Construct a generalized logarithmic spiral failure model. The generalized logarithmic spiral failure model introduces a friction weight coefficient to characterize the contribution weight of the friction angle in the overall strength of the soil and rock mass, and establishes a functional relationship between the friction weight coefficient and the cohesion and internal friction angle of the soil and rock mass, so that the morphology of the fracture surface can smoothly transition between circular arc and standard logarithmic spiral curve according to the soil and rock type.
[0087] S2: Construct a three-dimensional geometric model of the potential failure body in front of the tunnel face, optimize the upper loosening zone into a combined structure consisting of a hemispherical collapse body and a dome-shaped rectangular bottom silo, and describe the lower slip body using a generalized logarithmic spiral failure model to achieve a continuous and smooth connection between the upper and lower failure bodies in terms of geometric shape.
[0088] S3: Based on the three-dimensional geometric model and the generalized logarithmic spiral failure model, with the pole of the generalized logarithmic spiral slip surface as the moment center, the overall moment balance equation of the slip body in front of the tunnel face is established, and the functional expression of the horizontal constraint force of the tunnel face with respect to the spiral angle is derived.
[0089] S4: Iterate through the spiral angle interval to solve the horizontal constraint force function of the working face, take its maximum value as the ultimate constraint force of the working face, and simultaneously obtain the fracture depth under the corresponding spiral angle.
[0090] S5: Calculate the anchor reinforcement density based on the ultimate constraint force and determine the anchor spacing in combination with the anchor arrangement; at the same time, utilize the spatial distribution characteristics of the fracture depth as the tunnel face elevation changes to construct the fracture envelope of the core soil at the tunnel face, in which the area above the intersection of the envelope uses anchors of equal length, and the area below uses anchors of gradually varying length.
[0091] In this embodiment, in S1, the friction weighting coefficient is introduced. Based on the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion, the cohesion c between the soil and rock mass and the internal friction angle of the soil and rock mass were established. Functional relationship:
[0092] (1)
[0093] in, This is the friction weighting coefficient. For the cohesion of the soil and rock mass, The internal friction angle of the rock and soil. Where D is the weight of the surrounding rock and D is the tunnel height;

[0095] (2)
[0096] in, Polar angle, The initial radius of the generalized logarithmic spiral curve. The corresponding polar angle on the generalized logarithmic spiral curve The radius at that location;
[0097] When the friction angle within the rock and soil When =0, =0, the generalized logarithmic spiral curve degenerates into a circular arc;
[0098] When the cohesion of the soil and rock mass is c=0 =1, the generalized logarithmic spiral curve is represented by the standard logarithmic spiral curve;
[0099] When 0 < When <1, the generalized logarithmic spiral curve transitions smoothly between the circular arc and the standard logarithmic spiral curve.
[0100] This invention proposes an analytical formula for a generalized logarithmic spiral failure model. This invention aims to address the problems of overly idealized assumptions about the fracture surface morphology in traditional methods, resulting in computational models with limited morphology and general applicability. The invention innovatively introduces a friction weighting coefficient. μ is used to characterize the internal friction angle of soil and rock. The weight of the overall strength is determined, and its relationship with cohesion c and internal friction angle is established based on the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion. The functional expression is derived by using the friction weighting coefficient μ to correlate the fracture surface morphology with the cohesion c and the internal friction angle. When the friction angle When cohesion c = 0 (corresponding to pure cohesive soil), μ = 0, and the generalized logarithmic spiral curve degenerates into a circular arc; when cohesion c = 0 (corresponding to pure sandy soil), μ = 1, and the generalized logarithmic spiral curve exhibits a standard logarithmic spiral curve; when 0 < μ < 1, the generalized logarithmic spiral curve smoothly transitions between the two, exhibiting a transitional form between a circular arc and a standard logarithmic spiral curve. This model is based on the cohesion c and internal friction angle of the soil and rock mass. The corresponding friction weight coefficient μ is calculated to characterize the contribution weight of the internal friction angle in the strength composition of soil and rock masses, thereby adjusting the geometric morphology of the fracture surface. This generalized logarithmic spiral failure model overcomes the limitations of traditional calculation methods in terms of model morphology uniformity and applicability, and has broad engineering applicability. This model highly unifies the mathematical description methods of the spatial morphology of fracture surfaces of various soil and rock masses, and can accurately simulate the continuous failure process and fracture surface morphology characteristics of various soil and rock materials from pure cohesive soil to pure sandy soil, and in between.
[0101] In this embodiment, the present invention optimizes the traditional "prism-wedge" model, transforming the upper loosening zone of the failure body in front of the tunnel face into a combined structure of a domed rectangular bottom silo and a hemispherical collapse body. This achieves a smooth and continuous morphological transition between the upper loosening zone and the lower generalized logarithmic spiral sliding body. A simplified diagram of the specific calculation model is shown below. Figure 2 ,exist Figure 2 In the figure, (a) is an axial view, (b) is a side view, (c) is a front view, and (d) is a top view. In the figure, part I is a hemispherical collapse body, part II is a dome-shaped rectangular bottom silo, and part III is a generalized logarithmic spiral sliding body. The diameter of the hemispherical collapse body is the same as the diameter of the upper bottom of the dome-shaped rectangular bottom silo, which is equal to the width of the lower bottom of the dome-shaped rectangular bottom silo. The line connecting the geometric centers of the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the dome-shaped rectangular bottom silo is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The height of the generalized logarithmic spiral sliding body is consistent with the tunnel excavation height.
[0102] This invention effectively solves the problem of morphological discontinuity at the junction of the upper and lower parts of the original model. By eliminating cusps and avoiding non-physical features such as geometric protrusions, it significantly improves the geometric rationality and mechanical continuity of the model. This model can more realistically reflect the continuous deformation and progressive failure mechanism of the damaged body in three-dimensional space, thereby accurately characterizing the spatial distribution characteristics of the loosened zone in front of the tunnel face and restoring the actual physical process of its instability and failure.
[0103] In this embodiment, based on the optimized three-dimensional analysis model of the loosened zone and according to the limit equilibrium theory, the overall moment equilibrium equation of the sliding body in front of the tunnel face is constructed as shown in equation (3) below. A simplified calculation diagram is shown below. Figure 3 Taking the pole O of the generalized logarithmic spiral surface (generalized logarithmic spiral curve surface) as the moment equilibrium point, and based on the principle that the resultant moment of all loads on the sliding body about the pole O is zero, the calculation formula for the ultimate support force of the tunnel face is derived.

[0164] Horizontal constraint force at the working face It concerns the spiral angle of the working face. The function, when the tunnel face becomes unstable, the soil follows a generalized logarithmic spiral surface. Rigid rotation occurs only when the helix angle of the logarithmic spiral is... Only then can the sliding surface simultaneously satisfy the Mohr-Coulomb envelope and the rigid body motion criterion. Therefore, exist Iterate through the intervals.

[0176]
[0177] This invention, based on the aforementioned generalized logarithmic spiral failure model and combined with a three-dimensional geometric model of the potential failure body in front of the tunnel face, constructs a complete theoretical system for tunnel face stability analysis. It achieves accurate solutions for the ultimate constraint force of the tunnel face, significantly improving the reliability and accuracy of the calculation results. Furthermore, this invention uses the obtained ultimate constraint force of the tunnel face as a key design input, providing a theoretical basis for the scientific formulation of anchor bolt design parameters.
[0178] In this embodiment, current research on the design parameters of anchor bolts for tunnel faces based on theoretical derivation is still insufficient. The design parameters are mainly based on the project category and lack sufficient theoretical support. This invention proposes a method for determining the anchor bolt reinforcement density and installation length based on the ultimate support force required for stabilizing the tunnel face, aiming to provide theoretical support for the design of anchor bolts for tunnel faces in China.
[0179]
[0180] The tunnel face area is The ultimate anchoring force of a single anchor bolt is The number of anchor bolts is n. The safety factor for the face anchor bolts is 1.0, as the face anchor bolt reinforcement is a temporary structure. The anchor bolt reinforcement density can then be derived. The calculation is as follows:
[0181]
[0182] According to the relevant provisions of the "Technical Specification for Rock and Soil Anchors and Shotcrete Support Engineering" (GB 50086-2015), and combining the theories of elasticity and shear force transfer, under the condition of shear failure at the interface between the surrounding rock and the grouting body in the anchorage zone:

[0186] in, The effective anchorage length (m); The elastic modulus of the anchor rod (kPa); The cross-sectional area of the anchor rod (m²) is the anchor rod body. The perimeter of the anchor rod (m²) is the length of the anchor rod. is the elastic resistance coefficient of the surrounding rock (kN / m³). Where is the diameter of the anchor bolt borehole (m); δ is the attenuation threshold, which is usually taken as 5% for temporary projects; The value is the standard value of bond strength (kPa), which is taken with reference to the "Technical Specification for Rock and Soil Anchors and Shotcrete Support Engineering".
[0187] The anchor reinforcement density can be calculated using the above formula. Then, the spacing of the anchor bolts can be calculated.
[0188] Square arrangement spacing:
[0189]
[0190] Plum blossom pattern spacing:
[0191]
[0192] Annular arrangement spacing (default ring spacing is equal to the inner ring spacing):
[0193]
[0194] like Figure 4 As shown, the fracture surface of the core soil at the tunnel face exhibits a generalized logarithmic spiral curve shape, with the fracture depth decreasing sequentially from the arch crown to the arch foot. Current tunnel face anchor bolt designs typically employ a constant-length scheme, resulting in redundant anchor bolt lengths in the lower half of the cross-section. This invention proposes for the first time the concept of a "fracture envelope of the core soil at the tunnel face," which, when used in conjunction with anchor bolts of gradually varying lengths in the lower half of the cross-section, improves the matching degree between anchor bolt length and fracture depth, thus perfecting the theoretical system of tunnel face anchor bolt design.
[0195] The envelope of the core soil fracture surface at the tunnel face consists of two segments, defined as follows: A perpendicular line is drawn from the intersection of the apex of the generalized logarithmic spiral curve and the tunnel excavation outline, extending downwards towards the tunnel axis. Simultaneously, a tangent line is drawn from the intersection of the apex of the generalized logarithmic spiral curve and the tunnel face; this tangent line intersects the aforementioned perpendicular line. The boundary formed by this perpendicular line and the tangent line is the envelope of the fracture surface, and the height of their intersection point is denoted as... 。
[0196] The length of the anchor bolt at the tunnel face can be calculated using the following formula:
[0197]
[0198]
[0199] in: The length of the anchor bolt. Anchor bolt installation height, For the effective anchorage length, This refers to the planned excavation length.
[0200] Based on the analytical solution of the ultimate constraint force at the tunnel face derived using the aforementioned limit equilibrium method, this invention further proposes theoretical calculation formulas for the density (spacing) and length of anchor bolt support, providing a reliable quantitative basis for tunnel face support design. Specifically, by establishing the static equilibrium equation between the anchoring force of the anchor bolts at the tunnel face and the ultimate support force required to maintain stability, the reinforcement density of the anchor bolts at the tunnel face is solved. Then, combined with commonly used anchor bolt arrangement forms (such as square, quincunx, and ring), the corresponding anchor bolt spacing calculation formula is derived. Furthermore, this invention innovatively introduces the concept of the "envelope of the core soil rupture at the tunnel face." By calculating the horizontal distance from the envelope to the tunnel face and combining it with the effective anchorage section length at the tunnel face and the planned excavation advance in that section, a theoretical calculation formula for the length of the anchor bolts at the tunnel face is derived. The envelope... The area above the point corresponds to the upper half of the tunnel cross-section, where equal-length anchor bolts are used, with an envelope line. The area below the point corresponds to the lower half of the cross-section, where anchor bolts with gradually varying lengths are arranged. This method significantly optimizes the spatial layout of anchor bolts at the tunnel face, effectively improves the matching accuracy between anchor bolt length and the actual fracture depth of the core soil, further refines the theoretical system of anchor bolt design at the tunnel face, provides systematic theoretical support for stability analysis and optimized anchor bolt arrangement in tunnel engineering, and effectively enhances the scientific nature, reliability, and engineering applicability of anchor bolt design at the tunnel face.
