Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel construction technology, and in particular to an independent twin-bore straight-center-walled arch tunnel. Background Technology

[0002] In cases where tunnels connect to large bridges, a twin-arch tunnel structure is typically constructed at the tunnel entrance to ensure smooth alignment. Twin-arch tunnels are mainly classified into two categories based on their structural characteristics: straight-center-wall twin-arch tunnels and curved-center-wall twin-arch tunnels. For these types of tunnels, the three-pilot tunnel method is widely used for construction. The specific steps include: first, excavating the central pilot tunnel and simultaneously implementing initial support; then, constructing the central partition wall; next, ensuring that the pilot tunnel and the subsequent tunnel are staggered and parallel, carrying out excavation and support work; and finally, before constructing the secondary lining of the subsequent tunnels, the temporary support structure of the central pilot tunnel must be removed. However, the three-tunnel construction method also has several shortcomings: First, the construction of the main tunnel starts relatively late, the construction process is complex, and the overall construction period is long; second, the temporary support structure of the middle tunnel needs to be dismantled later, which not only consumes a lot of materials but also increases construction costs; third, the joint between the top of the partition wall and the lining of the main tunnel in the straight central wall arch tunnel is prone to form a construction joint, which poses a potential risk of water leakage, thus posing a challenge to the construction quality and making it difficult to ensure that the high standards of construction quality are achieved. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides an independent double-bore straight central wall arch tunnel, the purpose of which is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art mentioned in the background art.

[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution to achieve the above objectives:

[0005] An independent twin-tunnel straight-center-wall arch tunnel includes a pilot tunnel and a rear tunnel arranged in parallel. A straight-center wall is set between the pilot tunnel and the rear tunnel. Ordinary hollow grouting anchors and extended hollow grouting anchors are set at intervals in the surrounding rock surrounding the pilot tunnel and the rear tunnel. The pilot tunnel and the rear tunnel are arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside with secondary lining, steel arch frame and primary support. An excavation and replacement zone is set on the side of the pilot tunnel near the straight-center wall. Several vertical I-beams are set at intervals along the length of the pilot tunnel in the excavation and replacement zone. The vertical I-beams are set on the side of the excavation and replacement zone away from the pilot tunnel. The outside of the vertical I-beams is wrapped with shotcrete.

[0006] Furthermore, the excavation and backfilling area includes a vertical section set within the straight central wall and an arc-shaped section at the top, with the arc-shaped section facing the direction of the pilot tunnel.

[0007] Furthermore, the vertical I-beams are connected to the steel arch frame of the pilot tunnel via horizontal I-beams.

[0008] Furthermore, the horizontal I-beams are arranged at equal intervals along the height direction of the vertical I-beams.

[0009] Furthermore, the spacing of the vertical I-beams is consistent with the spacing of the pre-existing tunnel-shaped steel arch frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting plate is provided between the horizontal I-beam and the vertical I-beam.

[0013] 2.

[0024] Example. An independent twin-tunnel straight-center-wall arch tunnel, structurally as described in 1 to 2, includes a first tunnel 1 and a second tunnel 2 arranged side by side. A straight-center wall is provided between the first tunnel 1 and the second tunnel 2. Ordinary hollow grouting anchors and extended hollow grouting anchors are spaced apart in the surrounding rock surrounding the first tunnel 1 and the second tunnel 2. The extended hollow grouting anchors are located near the center of the two tunnels. The first tunnel 1 and the second tunnel 2 are arranged sequentially from the inside out with secondary lining and primary support (a steel arch frame is installed in the primary support). An excavation and replacement zone 4 is set on the side of the first tunnel 1 near the straight-center wall. Several vertical I-beams 5 are spaced apart along the length of the first tunnel 1 in the excavation and replacement zone 4. The vertical I-beams 5 are located adjacent to the side of the excavation and replacement zone 4 away from the first tunnel 1, and the outside of the vertical I-beams 5 is wrapped with shotcrete. The excavation and replacement zone 4 includes a vertical part set in the straight-center wall and an arc-shaped part at the top, with the arc-shaped part facing the direction of the first tunnel 1.

[0025] The vertical H-beams 5 are connected to the steel arch frame of the pilot tunnel 1 via horizontal H-beams 6. Three horizontal H-beams 6 are arranged at equal intervals along the height of the vertical H-beams 5. The longitudinal spacing of the vertical H-beams 5 is consistent with the spacing of the steel arch frame of the pilot tunnel 1. Connecting plates are installed between the horizontal H-beams 6, the vertical H-beams 5, and the steel arch frame of the pilot tunnel 1. The arrangement of horizontal H-beams 6 strengthens the connection between the vertical H-beams 5 and the steel arch frame of the pilot tunnel 1, improving the overall structural strength and the stress distribution of the tunnel structure. The connecting plates employ a combination of welding and bolting to fully ensure the connection strength at the joints. The vertical H-beams (5) are made of I14 H-beams.

[0026] The installation method of this utility model is as follows: First, construct the pilot tunnel 1. During construction, excavate towards the rear tunnel 2 to create an excavation and backfilling zone 4. Install foam vibration isolation plates 3 on the side of the excavation and backfilling zone 4 near the rear tunnel 2. Apply initial shotcrete along the outline of the expanded pilot tunnel 1. Then, erect vertical H-beams 5 and the steel arch frame of the pilot tunnel 1. Connect the vertical H-beams 5, the steel arch frame of the pilot tunnel 1, and the horizontal H-beams 6 using bolted and welded connections. Apply shotcrete in layers until it covers the vertical H-beams 5 and the horizontal H-beams 6 and is flush with the designed excavation surface before the expansion of the pilot tunnel 1. Subsequently, construct the initial support and drainage system for the pilot tunnel 1. After the lining structure of the pilot tunnel 1 reaches its design strength, the pilot tunnel 2 is constructed at a distance from the secondary tunnel 2. Appropriate methods are used to excavate the secondary tunnel 2 according to the surrounding rock conditions. During excavation, the side furthest from the pilot tunnel 1 is excavated first, followed by the side closer to the pilot tunnel 1. Excavation stops when the foam vibration isolation plate 3 is installed. The foam vibration isolation plate 3 is removed, and the initial support, drainage system, and lining structure of the secondary tunnel 2 are constructed. The aforementioned steps are repeated until the tunnel construction is completed. The parallel construction of the pilot tunnel 1 and the secondary tunnel 2 is achieved through these steps, which improves construction efficiency compared to the three-pilot tunnel method.

[0027] This utility model has been implemented in a bifurcation tunnel in Guizhou Province. A test section was set up to verify the structure and installation method described in the utility model. The test section was a two-lane tunnel with poor surrounding rock (Class IV). The test section was 36m long. Compared with the conventional three-tunnel method, the construction period was shortened by approximately 33 days, and the cost was reduced by approximately 1.186 million yuan.

[0028] Obviously, the above description is only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. The above embodiments are not intended to limit this utility model, and various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any combination, modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, and all other embodiments that can be made by those skilled in the art within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be within the protection scope of this utility model.
