Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of surrounding rock loosening zone measurement technology, and in particular to a method and system for monitoring surrounding rock loosening zone based on fiber optic anchor strain. Background Technology
[0002] In tunnel engineering, accurate determination of the loosened rock zone is of great significance for support design, construction safety, and operational stability. The loosened rock zone refers to the non-load-bearing area formed after tunnel excavation due to stress redistribution, resulting in damage to the surrounding rock structure and deterioration of its strength. Its extent directly affects the assessment and determination of key indicators in tunnel construction.
[0003] Currently, commonly used methods for determining loosened zones include acoustic / ultrasonic testing, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), apparent resistivity, transient electromagnetic methods, and integrated analysis methods based on displacement monitoring and numerical inversion. However, in practical applications, acoustic methods are easily affected by borehole quality and coupling conditions, and have limited testing depth; GPR has poor penetration and low resolution in water-bearing or highly conductive surrounding rocks; apparent resistivity and transient electromagnetic methods are not sensitive enough to shallow loosened zones, and data interpretation is complex and susceptible to interference. In tunnel engineering under complex and variable lithological conditions, existing methods for determining loosened zones lack the support of mechanical models for collaborative analysis with the support structure, making it difficult to obtain continuous, full-section strain and stress distribution.
[0004] In recent years, distributed fiber optic sensing technology has been gradually applied to the field of geotechnical engineering safety monitoring due to its advantages such as long distance, high spatial resolution, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and ability to achieve simultaneous temperature-strain monitoring. However, existing fiber optic monitoring schemes are mostly focused on apparent strain acquisition and lack deep integration with the interaction mechanism between anchor bolts and surrounding rock. A systematic dynamic identification of loosened zone boundaries based on strain gradient and axial force evolution has not yet been formed, resulting in low utilization of monitoring data. It is impossible to achieve high-precision positioning, dynamic tracking, and visualization of loosened zone boundaries in surrounding rock, and it is also difficult to support dynamic optimization of tunnel support structure design and construction safety early warning.
[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a method and system for monitoring loosened rock zones based on fiber optic anchor strain. By deploying strain-sensitive and temperature-compensating optical fibers in the anchor and combining the mechanical behavior analysis of the anchor, high-precision and automatic identification of the loosened zone boundary can be achieved. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address or partially address the problems existing in related technologies, this application provides a method and system for monitoring the loosened zone of surrounding rock based on fiber optic anchor strain. The aim is to solve the problem of how distributed optical fibers can accurately capture the mechanical abrupt change characteristics of the interface between the loosened zone and the elastic zone in the construction of tunnels in complex geological conditions.
[0007] The first aspect of this application provides a method for monitoring the loosening zone of surrounding rock based on fiber optic anchor strain. This method acquires information on the strain and temperature distribution of the surrounding rock through strain-sensitive and temperature-compensating optical fibers deployed in the tunnel's surrounding rock anchor support structure. The method includes: Temperature compensation is performed on the strain distribution information based on the temperature distribution information to obtain the true strain distribution data of the anchor bolt. Based on the anchor strain distribution data, analyze the axial force distribution and shear force distribution of the anchor, and construct a cross-sectional shear stress distribution model; Based on the anchor bolt shear stress distribution model, the strain gradient distribution along the anchor bolt axis is analyzed; A loosening zone boundary identification model is constructed based on axial force distribution and strain gradient distribution to determine the location of strain abrupt change points in the anchor bolt. These strain abrupt change points characterize the interface between the loosening zone and the elastic zone of the surrounding rock. The loosening zone boundary identification model includes: constructing a strain gradient extremum calculation model based on the strain gradient distribution to identify the extreme points of the strain gradient distribution; constructing an axial force attenuation transition model based on the axial force distribution to identify the transition points in the axial force distribution from a growth mode to a attenuation mode; and verifying the consistency between the extreme points of the strain gradient distribution and the transition points of the axial force distribution to determine the final location of the strain abrupt change points. By connecting the strain abrupt change points of each anchor bolt, the boundary contour line of the loosened rock zone is formed, and the extent of the loosened rock zone is determined.
[0008] Optional strain gradient extremum calculation models include: Shear stress is proportional to strain gradient, strain gradient The reversal occurs at the interface between the loosened and elastic zones; near the reversal point... The absolute value will have a local maximum, resulting in the strain gradient extremum calculation model: (14) In the formula, denoted by , x represents the extreme point of the anchor bolt strain gradient, x represents the axial position of the anchor bolt, and L represents the length of the anchor bolt.
[0009] Optional axial force attenuation transition models include: Based on the mechanical relationship between axial force and anchor strain distribution data, at the interface between the loosened zone and the elastic zone, the relative displacement direction between the surrounding rock and the anchor is reversed; the tendency of the anchor to be stretched and the constraint of the surrounding rock reach an instantaneous equilibrium. Within the loosened zone, the surrounding rock deformation drives the anchor bolt, and the axial force increases towards the depth of the surrounding rock; within the elastic zone, the anchor bolt is anchored, and the axial force decreases towards the depth; at the interface, the axial force inevitably changes from increasing to decreasing, with the extreme point being the maximum point, resulting in the axial force attenuation transition model: (15) In the formula, x represents the axial position of the anchor bolt. , , These represent the loosening zone, the elastic zone, and the interface, respectively. Indicates the axial force gradient. This represents the rate of change of the axial force gradient, since it is directly found Points in discrete data are easily affected by noise, so the second derivative is used to transform the maximum point into a more stable and easily identifiable turning point of the trend.
[0010] Optionally, the strain gradient distribution along the anchor bolt axis is analyzed, including: strain gradient It represents the rate of change of the axial strain of the anchor bolt with position, and serves as a bridge between the shear stress and the axial force variation in the cross section. Strain gradient analysis based on cross-sectional shear stress calculation model Distribution: In the loosened zone, the surrounding rock deforms into the tunnel, causing the anchor bolts to be under tension. The shear stress direction points into the tunnel, and the strain of the anchor bolt is positive when under tension, increasing from the inside of the tunnel to the depth of the tunnel, with a strain gradient. ; In the elastic zone, the surrounding rock is basically stable, the deformation of the anchor bolt is constrained, the shear stress direction points towards the depth of the surrounding rock, and the anchor bolt strain decreases with depth, resulting in a strain gradient. ; strain gradient The reversal occurs at the interface between the loosened and elastic zones; near the reversal point... The absolute value of it will have a local maximum.
[0011] Optionally, analyze the axial force distribution of the anchor bolt, including: Based on the mechanical relationship between axial force and anchor strain distribution data, the axial force distribution is determined by taking a small segment of the anchor. Perform force analysis, The difference in axial force experienced by the segment and the effect of the surrounding rock The shear stress on the surface of the segment is in equilibrium; at the interface between the loosened and elastic zones, the following characteristics exist: The relative displacement direction between the surrounding rock and the anchor bolt reverses; The tendency of the anchor bolt to be stretched reaches an instantaneous equilibrium with the constraint of the surrounding rock, and the cross-sectional shear stress between the anchor bolt and the surrounding rock is zero; Based on the interface characteristics between the loosened zone and the elastic zone, the first derivative of the axial force at the anchor bolt junction is 0, which is a necessary condition for the axial force to reach an extreme value at the junction. Within the loosened zone, the deformation of the surrounding rock drives the anchor bolts, and the axial force increases deeper into the surrounding rock. Within the elastic zone, the anchor rod is anchored, and the axial force decreases as it goes deeper. At the interface, the axial force will inevitably change from increasing to decreasing, and the extreme point is the maximum point.
[0012] Optionally, a cross-sectional shear stress distribution model of the anchor bolt is constructed, including: Based on the mechanical relationship between axial force and anchor strain, and by Hooke's Law, the axial force of the anchor... The relationship between the anchor bolt strain and the anchor bolt strain can be expressed as: (9) In the formula, E is the elastic modulus of the material, and A is the cross-sectional area of the anchor rod; For anchor bolt micro-segments Force analysis was performed, and the equilibrium equations for shear force and axial force are as follows: (11) In the formula, Indicates the shear stress distribution of the cross section. Indicates the diameter of the anchor bolt; Since the anchor bolts are made of the same material and have a uniform cross-section, their elastic modulus E and cross-sectional area A are both constants. Therefore, we can conclude that: (12) The shear stress of the surrounding rock on the anchor bolt section is obtained as follows: (13) In the formula, E represents the elastic modulus of the anchor material, and A represents the cross-sectional area of the anchor.
[0013] Optionally, obtain the actual anchor bolt strain distribution data, including: Optical frequency domain reflectometry utilizes coherent detection and a swept laser to invert the strain and temperature distribution along an optical fiber by measuring the phase change of the backscattered Rayleigh light. For a small perturbation, the wavelength shift of the Rayleigh scattering center at a point in the optical fiber is... With strain Temperature changes A linear relationship exists: (1) In the formula, The center wavelength of the incident light The effective elastic modulus of the optical fiber; The coefficient of thermal expansion; Thermo-optic coefficient; The coefficient of optical path length variation caused by strain; This refers to the wavelength shift coefficient caused by temperature.

The length of the sensing segment in the optical fiber where Rayleigh scattering occurs; In distributed measurements in practical engineering, a phase-strain sensitivity coefficient is introduced through calibration. Then the equivalent strain expression under any state is: (3) strain It includes both real strain and pseudo-strain caused by temperature changes, namely: (4) Among them, temperature cross-sensitivity coefficient for: (5) In summary, the strain and temperature change data obtained from the fiber optic anchor are expressed as follows: (6) In the formula, The strain distribution measured by the strain-sensitive fiber. The phase change measured by the strain-sensitive fiber. The strain distribution measured by temperature-compensated fiber optic cable based solely on temperature changes. To compensate for phase changes in optical fibers due to temperature; The actual anchor bolt strain distribution data are as follows: (7).

The fiber optic anchor is driven into the surrounding rock in the traditional anchor installation method and is laid out along the circumference of the surrounding rock. A distributed fiber optic demodulator connects to a distributed fiber optic cable and is used to demodulate and acquire strain and temperature data distributed along the fiber optic cable. The intelligent terminal, which communicates with the distributed fiber optic demodulator, is used to receive and analyze strain and temperature data. Based on the mechanical analysis algorithm that reflects the interaction between the anchor bolt and the surrounding rock, it processes the strain distribution data. By performing a dual criterion including strain gradient extreme value analysis and axial force distribution analysis, it identifies strain abrupt change points. Based on the strain abrupt change points, it determines the boundary location information of the loosened zone of the surrounding rock.
[0015] Optional, smart terminals include: The boundary identification module performs strain gradient analysis, axial force analysis, identification of extreme points in strain gradient distribution, identification of inflection points in axial force distribution, and consistency verification operations, and outputs the location of strain abrupt change points for each fiber anchor. The contour generation and display module connects various strain abrupt change points to generate and visualize two-dimensional or three-dimensional boundary contour maps of the loosened surrounding rock zone.
[0016] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects: By using distributed fiber optic sensing technology, strain and temperature data are collected in real time along the entire length of the anchor bolt. Based on the interaction mechanism between the anchor bolt and the surrounding rock, the strain data is converted into mechanical indicators such as shear stress and axial force. Combining axial force distribution analysis and strain gradient distribution analysis, a dual-criteria boundary identification model is established based on the extreme value of strain gradient and the inflection point of axial force attenuation. The loosening zone boundary is comprehensively identified from two dimensions: the strain change trend and the stress state of the anchor bolt. This enables high-precision positioning, dynamic tracking, and dynamic optimization of the tunnel support structure design for the loosening zone boundary.
[0017] By using distributed fiber optic sensing technology, strain and temperature data are collected in real time, enabling continuous perception and dynamic feedback of the mechanical state of the surrounding rock. The system integrates data acquisition, processing, analysis and visualization modules to automatically complete strain compensation, axial force inversion, gradient calculation, abrupt change point identification and loosening zone contour generation, reducing the cost of manual intervention.

[0026] In some implementations, see Figure 2 A monitoring system for loosened rock zones based on fiber optic anchor strain, comprising: 1. Fiber optic anchor; 2. Fiber optic trough; 3. Distributed fiber optic cable; 4. Through hole; 5. Communication fiber optic cable; 6. Fiber optic demodulator; 7. Transmission network; and 8. Smart terminal. The fiber optic anchor 1 is a combination of fiber optic cable and traditional anchor, consisting of three parts: a head, a sensing area, and a tail. The anchor is 3m long, with the head and tail each measuring 0.5m. The sensing area is located between 0.5m and 2.5m along the anchor. Fiber optic grooves 2 are etched into the anchor within the sensing area, with a width × depth of 2mm × 3mm. A through hole 4 is provided at the tail end of the anchor. The dimensions of the internal through hole and surface groove of the anchor should be sufficient to allow the fiber optic cable to pass through or meet encapsulation requirements; the dimensions should not be too large, as this would significantly reduce the anchor's strength.
[0027] Distributed optical fibers are installed on the fiber optic slot 2 of the pole in the sensing area. The distributed optical fibers consist of two complete strain-sensitive fibers and a temperature-compensating fiber. To ensure good coupling between the optical fibers and the anchor rod, a custom-made polyimide (PI) coated fiber is selected as the strain-sensitive fiber, and a loose-tube fiber is used for the temperature-compensating fiber. The sensing fiber is encapsulated in the fiber optic slot of the pole sensing area, and the remaining fiber serves as the communication fiber 5, passing through the end through-hole 4 and connecting to the distributed optical fiber demodulator 6.

The anchors are distributed in a circle along the tunnel. Fiber optic anchors 1 and ordinary anchors are arranged in a combination at intervals. Fiber optic anchors 1 are installed at the arch crown, arch shoulder, arch waist, and arch foot to ensure real-time perception of the entire cross-section of the tunnel surrounding rock. The spacing between the fiber optic anchors 1 and ordinary anchors is 900×900mm. The ordinary anchors are made of HRB400 steel bars with a diameter of 22mm and a length of 3000mm. Each anchor uses 2 rolls of MSZ23 / 50 resin cartridges, with an anchoring force of not less than 50kN.
[0029] The distributed fiber optic demodulator employs optical frequency domain reflectance (OFDR) technology with four channels to ensure simultaneous monitoring of strain and temperature information. The demodulator host transmits data to the workstation and is configured with transmission network 7 to synchronize the data to the smart terminal 8. Transmission network 7 can be either wireless or fiber optic, depending on site conditions.
[0030] The intelligent terminal 8 includes a boundary recognition module and a contour generation and display module; the boundary recognition module performs strain gradient analysis, axial force analysis, identification of extreme points of strain gradient distribution, identification of inflection points of axial force distribution and consistency verification operations, and outputs the location of strain abrupt change points corresponding to each fiber anchor.
