Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mining construction engineering. Background Technology
[0002] As national resource extraction gradually shifts from shallow to deep, high-temperature surrounding rocks will inevitably be encountered during the construction of shafts and tunnels. With increasing depth, the geothermal gradient is typically 1-3℃ / 100m, and in some strata with high geothermal gradients, the stratum temperature at 2500m may reach over 90℃.
[0003] In high-temperature environments, the temperature of shafts and tunnels during construction needs to be controlled, typically around the human body's thermal comfort temperature of 28°C. This creates a significant temperature gradient from the surrounding rock to the working area, causing the surrounding rock to cool down. This cooling process leads to shrinkage and deformation of the surrounding rock. Therefore, the characteristic curve of the surrounding rock is a crucial basis for the design of the rock-support structure's shared load-bearing capacity. However, the shrinkage and deformation of the surrounding rock caused by the large temperature gradient alters this characteristic curve. Thus, determining the characteristic curve of the surrounding rock becomes a pressing technical problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0059] This invention facilitates more accurate plotting of surrounding rock characteristic curves in variable temperature environments, laying the foundation for the design of shared load-bearing capacity between surrounding rock and support structures in such environments. Considering that high-temperature surrounding rock conditions are frequently encountered during deep shaft and tunnel construction, while the construction environment must be kept at a comfortable human temperature, this results in the cooling of the high-temperature surrounding rock. In such variable temperature environments, the surrounding rock characteristic curve needs to consider temperature correction; otherwise, the load acting on the support structure may be overestimated or underestimated, leading to material waste or reduced engineering safety.
[0060] This invention involves testing the initial ground stress, initial temperature, working area air temperature, and convective heat transfer coefficient of the surrounding rock wall at the engineering site. Simultaneously, samples are taken and tested in the laboratory for parameters such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, density, and thermal expansion coefficient of the surrounding rock. Then, according to the process, a series of formulas are used to calculate the displacement of the surrounding rock under different support pressures at a given heat transfer moment. The support pressure-displacement relationship of the surrounding rock at that moment is plotted, and a characteristic curve of the surrounding rock considering temperature correction can be obtained at that moment. By plotting the characteristic curves of the surrounding rock at different moments, a family of characteristic curves of the surrounding rock considering temperature correction can be obtained.
[0061] This invention utilizes laboratory tests on the thermal and mechanical properties of excavated rock samples, along with on-site tests of initial ground pressure, ground temperature, and working area parameters. Through procedural formula calculations and curve plotting, it generates characteristic curves of the surrounding rock considering temperature corrections at different heat transfer stages. This method offers advantages such as a simple process, high operability, and wide applicability. Compared to conventional surrounding rock characteristic curves, it corrects for errors caused by temperature variations during heat transfer, avoiding material waste due to overestimating wellbore loads and preventing safety hazards caused by underestimating wellbore loads.
