Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method, specifically a shotcrete support process, belonging to the technical field of underground mine support and tunnel engineering support. Background Technology
[0002] In underground engineering projects such as mining and tunnel excavation, shotcrete support is a key technology for ensuring the stability of surrounding rock and preventing collapse. However, existing shotcrete support technologies have the following problems:
[0003] Unreasonable material ratio: Traditional shotcrete often uses a binary ratio of "cement-sand-gravel" or "cement-sand", which results in low material density, slow strength growth in the later stage, and easy cracking and spalling due to long-term exposure to the damp underground environment, leading to insufficient support durability; although some processes add admixtures, the types of admixtures, such as fly ash and slag powder, lack specificity in selection and proportion design, making it impossible to balance strength and cost.
[0004] The efficiency of the wire mesh installation process is low: existing wire mesh installation operations mostly rely on manual hand tools or simple mechanical assistance, resulting in incomplete wire mesh coverage, loose mesh adhesion to the surrounding rock, and slow construction speed, which cannot meet the rapid support requirements of large-section roadways or tunnels; some anchor bolt trolleys are only used for anchor bolt installation and are not combined with the wire mesh installation process, resulting in low equipment utilization.
[0005] Poor connection between shotcrete processes: Traditional "one-time shotcrete + mesh" or "mesh + one-time shotcrete" processes suffer from insufficient bonding strength between the shotcrete layer and the mesh / surrounding rock, easily leading to delamination between the shotcrete layer and the mesh. While secondary shotcrete processes exist, inconsistent material ratios compared to the first shotcrete result in significant differences in shrinkage rates between the two layers, causing interface cracks and affecting the overall support effect. To address these problems, this invention proposes a shotcrete support process with optimized material ratios and efficient process coordination, solving the defects of low support strength, poor construction efficiency, and insufficient durability in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention: The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for shotcrete support processes that improves the overall performance and construction efficiency of the support structure by optimizing the shotcrete material ratio, combining it with an anchor bolt trolley to achieve full-coverage mesh, and using secondary shotcrete with the same ratio. Therefore, a new solution is urgently needed to address this technical problem. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a method for shotcrete support. This technical solution optimizes the proportion of shotcrete cement materials, thereby improving the support strength and durability.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a method for shotcrete support, the method comprising the following steps:
[0008] Step 1: Preparation before construction: Clean the surface of the surrounding rock to be supported, prepare cement, yellow sand, and water slag powder in a mass ratio of 1:0.5:0.1, and debug the shotcrete equipment, the anchor trolley with the netting mechanism, and the testing equipment.
[0009] Step 2: First spraying: Mix cement, yellow sand, and water slag powder in a ratio of 1:0.5:0.1 and add water to stir. Spray the mixture onto the surface of the surrounding rock to a thickness of 50-80mm.
[0010] Step 3: The anchor bolt trolley fully covers the mesh. Using the mechanical arm and laser positioning system of the anchor bolt trolley, the steel mesh is attached to the first shotcrete layer. The mesh fully covers the section to be supported and is fixed with temporary anchor bolts.
[0011] Step 4: Secondary spraying. Prepare a mixture using the same material ratio as in Step 2, and spray the mixture onto the sprayed layer after the mesh is attached.
[0012] Thickness 80-120mm, ensuring the mesh completely covers the area;
[0013] Step 5: Curing and Inspection. Spray and moisturize the support structure after secondary spraying for ≥7 days, and inspect its appearance, thickness and compressive strength.
[0014] Step 1 is as follows:
[0015] 1.1 Surrounding Rock Cleaning: Clean the surface of the surrounding rock to be supported in the underground roadway or tunnel, removing loose rocks, loose rock fragments, and surface dust to ensure that the surrounding rock surface is flat and free of impurities; if there is water accumulation on the surrounding rock surface, use drainage equipment to remove it or lay waterproof membrane to isolate the moisture.
[0016] 1.2 Material Preparation: Prepare cement, yellow sand, and water slag powder in a mass ratio of 1:0.5:0.1; among which, the cement should be 42.5 grade ordinary Portland cement, the yellow sand should be medium sand with a fineness modulus of 2.3-3.0, and the water slag powder should have a specific surface area ≥400m². 2 / kg, activity index ≥95% after 28 days; the three materials are stored separately in sealed storage silos, each equipped with a humidity sensor to monitor humidity ≤5% to prevent moisture absorption and clumping.
[0017] 1.3 Equipment Commissioning: Shotcrete Equipment: Inspect the shotcrete machine. Select a rotor-type shotcrete machine. Check the material conveying pipeline and nozzles with a rated working pressure of 0.4-0.6MPa for blockages. Adjust the material feeding speed of the shotcrete machine, controlling it at 3-5m / s. 3 / h; Anchor bolt trolley: Select a multi-functional anchor bolt trolley with a net hanging mechanism, adjust the mechanical arm stroke of the trolley to ensure coverage of the top, sides and bottom of the section to be supported, and control the net clamping force at 5-8kN to avoid net deformation; Testing equipment: Calibrate the humidity sensor with a measurement accuracy of ±2% RH and the compressive strength tester with an error of ≤1% to ensure data accuracy.
[0018] Step 2: The initial shotcrete application is as follows:
[0019] 2.1 Material Mixing: Add cement, yellow sand, and water slag powder to a forced mixer at a mass ratio of 1:0.5:0.1, and add water at the same time (water-binder ratio 0.4-0.45). Mix for ≥3 minutes to form a uniform spray slurry mixture. During the mixing process, check the state of the mixture through the observation window of the mixer to ensure that there are no lumps, good fluidity, and a slump of 120-150mm.
[0020] 2.2 Shotcrete Operation: Start the shotcrete machine and have the operator hold the nozzle to perform the first shotcrete on the cleaned surrounding rock surface; during shotcreting, the angle between the nozzle and the surrounding rock surface should be controlled at 75°-90°, and the distance between the nozzle and the surrounding rock surface should be 0.8-1.2m. The shotcrete sequence should be "from bottom to top and from left to right" to avoid missed areas; the thickness of the first shotcrete should be controlled at 50-80mm. After shotcreting, use a scraper to smooth the surface of the shotcrete layer to ensure that the surface is flat and free of depressions.
[0021] Step 3 involves fully covering the anchor bolt trolley with netting, as detailed below.
[0022] 3.1 Reinforcing mesh preparation: Select steel mesh with a diameter of 6-8mm and a mesh size of 100mm×100mm-150mm×150mm. Cut the mesh into a suitable shape according to the size of the cross-section to be supported. If the cross-section is large, multiple mesh pieces are connected by welding, with the welding point spacing ≤200mm, to ensure a firm connection.
[0023] 3.2 Anchor Bolt Trolley Netting Installation: Start the anchor bolt trolley and adjust the netting mechanism to the support position using the trolley's robotic arm; the clamping device of the netting mechanism clamps the edge of the netting, attaching the netting to the surface of the shotcrete layer after the first shotcrete application; calibrate the netting position using the trolley's laser positioning system to ensure that the netting covers the entire section to be supported, with no gaps, and the overlap width between netting sections is ≥100mm; after the netting is fixed, use temporary anchor bolts with a diameter of 20mm and a length of 500mm to fix the netting to the shotcrete layer and surrounding rock, with a temporary anchor bolt spacing ≤1500mm to ensure that the netting is not loose.
[0024] Step 4: Secondary shotcreting is as follows:
[0025] 4.1 Material Mixing: Using the same proportions as in step 2.1, cement: yellow sand: water slag powder = 1:0.5:0.1, and the same mixing parameters, prepare the spraying grout mixture to ensure that the composition and properties of the secondary spraying grout material are consistent with those of the primary spraying grout material.
[0026] 4.2 Shotcrete Operation: Start the shotcrete machine and perform secondary shotcrete on the shotcrete layer after the mesh is installed; during shotcrete, the nozzle should avoid the temporary anchor bolt position to prevent the anchor bolt from being covered by too much shotcrete; the thickness of the secondary shotcrete should be controlled at 80-120mm to ensure that the mesh is completely wrapped by the shotcrete layer, and the distance between the mesh and the surface of the shotcrete layer should be ≥30mm; during the shotcrete process, check the bonding status between the shotcrete layer and the mesh in real time. If air bubbles or voids appear, stop shotcrete in time, clean and then re-shot.
[0027] Step 5: Maintenance and Inspection, specifically as follows:
[0028] 5.1 Curing: After the secondary shotcrete is completed, the shotcrete support structure shall be cured; the curing method is "spray curing and covering with a moisturizing film", the curing temperature is ≥5℃, and the curing time is ≥7 days; during the curing period, the surface humidity of the shotcrete layer shall be monitored daily and maintained at ≥90%RH. If the humidity is insufficient, spray should be added in time.
[0029] 5.2 Inspection: After curing, the support structure shall be inspected for performance: Appearance inspection: Check whether there are cracks or peeling on the surface of the shotcrete layer, and whether the mesh is exposed. If defects are found, repair them with the same mix proportion material; Thickness inspection: Use an ultrasonic thickness gauge to select no less than 5 test points on the support section to measure the total thickness of the shotcrete layer. The first and second measurements shall be taken to ensure that the total thickness is ≥130mm and the error is ≤5mm; Strength inspection: Drill a core sample with a diameter of 50mm and a height of 50mm on the shotcrete layer and use a compressive strength tester to test the compressive strength after 28 days. The strength shall be ≥25MPa. If the strength does not meet the standard, analyze the cause and repeat the shotcrete operation.
[0030] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: Optimized material ratio, improving support strength and durability: This invention uses a ratio of cement: yellow sand: water slag powder = 1:0.5:0.1. The active components of the water slag powder can react with cement hydration products to generate more gel, improving the density of the shotcrete. Testing shows a 28-day compressive strength ≥25MPa, which is 30%-40% higher than the traditional "cement-yellow sand" ratio. It also exhibits excellent long-term moisture resistance, showing no cracking or peeling even after one year of use in a damp underground environment. Full-coverage netting using an anchor bolt trolley improves construction efficiency and coverage quality: Netting operations are achieved through an anchor bolt trolley with a netting mechanism. The robotic arm's stroke can cover large-section tunnels with a cross-sectional area ≤20m². 2The efficiency of mesh installation is 5-8 times higher than manual installation. Combined with a laser positioning system, the mesh covers all areas without gaps, and the overlap width and fixed spacing meet the specifications, avoiding the deviation problems of manual mesh installation. Secondary shotcreting with the same mix ratio enhances overall bonding performance: the first and second shotcreting use the same material ratio, eliminating shrinkage differences caused by different ratios and avoiding interface cracks; the second shotcreting completely wraps the mesh, and the bonding strength between the shotcrete layer and the mesh is ≥1.5MPa, which is 25%-30% higher than secondary shotcreting with different mix ratios, significantly enhancing the overall deformation resistance of the support structure. The process is closely integrated to meet the needs of rapid support in underground engineering: from surrounding rock cleaning, first shotcreting, mesh installation to secondary shotcreting, each process is coordinated through equipment debugging and parameter control, achieving a single-cycle support time of 10m length and 10m... 2 For example, the tunnel section takes ≤8 hours, which is 30% shorter than the traditional process, meeting the need for simultaneous rapid underground tunneling and support.
