The stress value at any point outside the roadway is calculated by superposition principle to eliminate the influence of displacement multivalue.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of underground engineering technology and relates to the calculation of unbalanced loads around tunnels, particularly an equivalent replacement calculation method for unbalanced loads acting around circular tunnels. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the commencement of major national projects, the construction of underground tunnels (groups) and mines has developed rapidly. However, during tunnel construction, the excavation process causes changes in the stress field of the surrounding rock, resulting in significant deformation of the surface and adjacent buildings (structures), which can even lead to engineering accidents in severe cases.
[0003] Therefore, accurate calculation of the stress field of the surrounding rock after tunnel excavation and the stress field of the entire area after support is of great theoretical significance and application value for guiding engineering construction.
[0004] According to the theory of elasticity, when the resultant force on the periphery of a circular tunnel opening is not zero, the single-valuedness of displacement must be considered when calculating the stress field. If the single-valuedness of displacement is not considered, the stress field will cause a certain error.
[0005] To address the aforementioned limitations, this invention employs an equivalent substitution calculation method for unbalanced loads acting around a circular tunnel, which can completely eliminate the influence of displacement multivalues, ensuring that the surface forces around the tunnel are always in equilibrium during the calculation of the tunnel stress field. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing an equivalent replacement calculation method for unbalanced loads acting around a circular tunnel. This method considers the single-valued nature of displacement, completely eliminates the influence of multi-valued displacement on the stress field calculation of a circular tunnel, and simplifies the calculation process.
[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0008] An equivalent replacement calculation method for unbalanced loads acting around a circular tunnel is proposed. The unbalanced loads acting around the circular tunnel are equivalently decomposed into: stress field one generated by the resultant force acting at the center of the tunnel, and stress field two under the superposition of the original surface force and Kelvin stress under the released load around the tunnel, so as to calculate the stress value at any point outside the circular tunnel under the action of unbalanced loads.
[0009] Furthermore, this includes the following steps:
[0010] S1: Based on the superposition principle, the stress field of the unbalanced load acting around the circular tunnel is equivalently decomposed into stress field one and stress field two, where:
[0011] Stress field 1: The stress field at the center point of a circular tunnel opening in an infinite plane, subjected to an equivalent concentrated force;

[0016] S5: Based on the equations in S1-S4 above, the final stress value is calculated;
[0017] The final stress value is the stress value at any point outside the circular tunnel under unbalanced load.
[0018] Furthermore, in S2, the resultant force of the stresses acting around the perimeter of the circular tunnel at the center of the tunnel is expressed as follows:

[0025] Where U, V, X, and W are constants, L is the radius of the circular tunnel, and α is the angle between the stress application point and the center of the circular tunnel; F x F y These are the resultant forces in the x and y directions, respectively.
[0026] Furthermore, in S3, the stress at any point within the surrounding rock mass of the roadway is expressed as follows:
[0027] ;
[0028] ;
[0029] ;
[0030] In the formula: denoted as , where is the distance from any point within the surrounding rock mass to the center of the circular tunnel, and μ is Poisson's ratio.

[0042] Furthermore, in S4, the stress function is expressed as follows:
[0043] ;
[0044] The stress components are obtained through the stress function, that is, the stress at any point outside the circular tunnel is expressed as follows:
[0045] ;

[0051] Based on the above equation, we can conclude that:
