Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pumped-storage power station engineering, and particularly relates to a tailrace tunnel support structure for faults and surrounding rock fracture zones. Background Art

[0002] At present, during the construction of pumped-storage power stations, especially in the construction of underground water conveyance tunnels, various geological problems are often encountered, including multiple adverse factors such as faults, fractures, and rock mass fragmentation. The rock mass usually becomes fragmented, with well-developed structural planes, low rock mass strength, and abundant groundwater, which increases the surrounding rock pressure and further reduces the self-stabilizing ability. All these pose threats to the stability and safety of the project.

[0003] For tailrace tunnels with faults and surrounding rock fracture zones, existing support methods often have difficulty in effectively dealing with them, unable to form a continuous and stable support system, with low construction efficiency and high safety risks. In addition, when dealing with fracture zones, existing methods often lack targeted reinforcement measures, resulting in insufficient interaction between the support structure and the surrounding rock, unable to effectively transfer and disperse stress, thus increasing the burden on the support structure and reducing the support effect. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a tailrace tunnel support structure for faults and surrounding rock fracture zones, which can provide sufficient support strength for the tailrace tunnel, effectively control the deformation of the surrounding rock, and can adapt to complex geological conditions such as faults and surrounding rock fracture zones, improving the construction safety, support effect, and long-term stability of the structure of the tailrace tunnel under unstable geological conditions.

The systematic bolts are arranged in a plum blossom pattern along the crown range of the tailrace tunnel. The steel grid arch frames are arranged along the direction of the tailrace tunnel. A number of steel bars are arranged inside the steel grid arch frames, and each bay of the steel grid arch frames is connected by the steel bars. The inner wall of the steel grid arch frames is provided with reinforced concrete linings, and a plurality of permanent joints are arranged at intervals within the range of passing through faults and surrounding rock fracture zones in the reinforced concrete linings.

[0006] Hollow grouting foot bolts are respectively arranged at the lower parts on both sides of the steel grid arch frames.

[0007] The systematic bolts are cement mortar bolts with a diameter of 25 mm and a length of 4.5 m, and the spacing between adjacent systematic bolts is 1.0 m × 1.0 m.

[0008] The shotcrete with wire mesh includes a wire mesh and concrete. The diameter of the wire mesh is 8 mm, and the spacing of the wire mesh is 15 cm × 15 cm. The concrete is C25 concrete, and the thickness of the concrete is 25 cm.

[0009] The distance between adjacent steel grid arches is 0.75 m, and a permanent joint is provided every 3 m for the reinforced concrete lining within the range of passing through faults and surrounding rock fracture zones.

[0010] Two rubber water stops and one copper water stop are arranged in the permanent joint.

[0011] The technical effects of the present utility model are as follows: 1. The combined support structure of systematic bolts, shotcrete with wire mesh, steel grid arches and reinforced concrete lining in the present utility model is applicable to the support structure and method of the tailrace tunnel under the conditions of faults and surrounding rock fracture zones, for the surrounding rock fracture areas with poor geological conditions and many geological problems; 2.

The systematic bolts 1 are arranged in a plum blossom pattern along the crown area of the tailrace tunnel. The steel grid arches 3 are arranged along the direction of the tailrace tunnel. A number of steel tie rods are provided inside the steel grid arches 3, and each steel grid arch 3 is connected by the steel tie rods. The inner wall of the steel grid arch 3 is provided with a reinforced concrete lining 5, and a number of permanent joints 7 are provided at intervals within the range of passing through the fault and surrounding rock fracture zone 6 of the reinforced concrete lining 5.

[0017] During actual use, when the tailrace tunnel of the present utility model passes through the fault and surrounding rock fracture zone 6, shotcrete with wire mesh 2 is hung in the crown area of the tunnel, and at the same time, systematic bolts 1 are arranged. A steel grid arch 3 is fixedly arranged at intervals along the axis direction of the tunnel, and the two side arch feet are fixed, and steel tie rods are arranged inside, so that each steel grid arch 3 is connected to each other through the steel tie rods. A reinforced concrete lining 5 is arranged inside the steel grid arch 3 to provide internal support for the excavated tunnel. A permanent joint 7 is fixedly arranged at intervals on the reinforced concrete lining 5, so that the displacement generated by the broken surrounding rock on the tunnel body can be more evenly distributed. Rubber waterstops and copper waterstops are arranged in the permanent joint 7 to prevent external water from seeping in. The reinforced concrete lining 5 inside the steel grid arch 3 of the present utility model provides internal support for the excavated tunnel, enabling the interaction and stress transfer between the surrounding rock, the steel grid arch, and the concrete lining, forming a stable stress-bearing circle in the tunnel, jointly bearing the deformation generated by the broken surrounding rock, and constituting an overall support system.
