Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of engineering construction technology, specifically to a tunnel lining structure of the city gate type. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the national economy and the booming development of the construction industry, my country's transportation infrastructure construction has entered a new era after entering the 21st century. More and more high-standard railways and highways are being built. At the same time, my country is one of the countries with the widest distribution of karst in the world. In particular, in some mountainous areas, soluble rock strata such as limestone are widely distributed, with varying scales, shapes, sizes and locations. In the process of transportation infrastructure construction, some areas with more complex terrain are often traversed by tunnels, which inevitably leads to a large number of tunnel projects that cross various types of rock strata.

[0003] Currently, most transportation infrastructure projects traversing mountainous areas adopt the traditional fully cast-in-place construction method. This involves pouring a layer of steel bars and concrete onto the outer wall of an excavated tunnel to form a passable passage. While this method can complete the construction of transportation infrastructure, it requires a large amount of materials, resulting in high costs and intense construction. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issues of high construction intensity and cost associated with traditional cast-in-place structures used in existing excavated tunnels for transportation infrastructure, this utility model provides a city gate-type tunnel lining structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model proposes a tunnel lining structure of the city gate type, including two symmetrically trimmed bottom corner areas of the surrounding rock layer at the bottom of the tunnel, a first lining layer is provided on the top of the two bottom corner areas that are attached to the tunnel wall; and a second lining layer is provided between the two bottom corner areas.

[0007] Anchors are provided on the bottom corner area of ​​the surrounding rock, the second lining layer and the first lining layer, and the anchors are fixed in the surrounding rock layer of the tunnel.

[0008] Preferably, the anchor includes a first anchor rod, a second anchor rod, and a third anchor rod. One end of each of the first, second, and third anchor rods is installed in the surrounding rock layer of the tunnel. The other end of the first anchor rod is connected to the first lining layer, the other end of the second anchor rod is connected to the bottom corner area of ​​the surrounding rock, and the other end of the third anchor rod is connected to the second lining layer.

[0009] Preferably, a first anchor bar is provided in the bottom corner area of ​​the surrounding rock and on the first lining layer, and the first anchor bar is installed in the surrounding rock layer of the tunnel.

[0010] Preferably, the angle between the first anchor bar and the anchor is in the range of 12° to 18°.

[0011] Preferably, multiple reinforcing ribs are provided between the bottom corner area of ​​the surrounding rock and the first lining layer along the height direction of the tunnel, and between the bottom corner area of ​​the surrounding rock and the second lining layer along the width direction of the tunnel, with the multiple reinforcing ribs arranged at equal intervals.

[0012] Preferably, the diameter of the reinforcing rib is in the range of 25mm to 32mm.

[0013] Preferably, second anchor bars are respectively provided on both sides of the anchor on the second lining layer, and the second anchor bars are fixed in the surrounding rock layer of the tunnel.

[0014] Preferably, the angle between the second anchor member and the upper surface of the second lining layer is 45°~60°.

[0015] Preferably, the first lining layer is arch-shaped.

[0016] Preferably, the thickness of the first lining layer is in the range of 30cm to 50cm.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] This utility model proposes a tunnel lining structure in the form of a city gate. This lining structure modifies the excavated tunnel, creating two bottom corner zones on either side of the tunnel bottom. This reduces construction work, effectively disperses pressure on the tunnel bottom, enhances the bottom bearing capacity, and reduces the risk of tunnel bottom deformation and damage due to changes in geological conditions or long-term loads. The first lining layer is tightly bonded to the top of the bottom corner zones, further reinforcing the tunnel wall and improving overall impermeability and durability. The second lining layer is positioned between the two bottom corner zones, forming a smooth passageway within the tunnel. This lining structure reduces construction work, provides a pre-defined support method for the connection between the surrounding rock and the lining, and fully utilizes the bearing capacity of the relatively intact bedrock at the invert arch location. This avoids the waste of extensive excavation and the construction of a separate reinforced concrete invert arch, significantly reducing the amount of secondary excavation work and saving on the amount of concrete for secondary lining, thus lowering construction costs.

[0019] Furthermore, this lining structure, through two L-shaped bottom corner areas of the surrounding rock layer that are symmetrically modified at the bottom of the tunnel surrounding rock layer, the first lining layer, the second lining layer, and structural components such as anchors, anchor bars, and reinforcing bars, can effectively bear the pressure load applied by the surrounding rock layer and ensure the safety and stability of the tunnel structure.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This utility model provides a tunnel lining structure for a city gate-type tunnel. This lining structure is based on a tunnel excavated using a full-face hard rock tunnel boring machine, with a small-scale secondary excavation and a pre-reserved support method for the connection between the surrounding rock and the lining. This significantly reduces the amount of secondary excavation work and saves on the amount of concrete used for the secondary lining, thus lowering construction costs. The specific structure is as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, this lining structure includes two L-shaped bottom corner zones 4 symmetrically trimmed at the bottom of the tunnel's surrounding rock layer. The two L-shaped bottom corner zones 4 are symmetrically arranged. A first lining layer 5 is provided on the top of the two bottom corner zones 4, adhering to the tunnel wall. The radius of the outer wall of the first lining layer 5 is determined by the radius R1 of the full-section hard rock tunnel boring machine. The first lining layer 5 adopts an arch-shaped structure, with a thickness ranging from 30cm to 100cm, preferably 60cm. The two bottom corner zones 4... A second lining layer 7 is provided between the two rock-bottom corner areas 4 and the outer end face of the second lining layer 7. The two rock-bottom corner areas 4 and the second lining layer 7 form a flat road surface. Anchors 1 are provided on the rock-bottom corner area 4, the second lining layer 7 and the first lining layer 5. The anchors 1 are fixed in the surrounding rock layer of the tunnel. The anchors 1 increase the stability of the tunnel after the second excavation of the rock-bottom corner area 4, the second lining layer 7 and the first lining layer 5, and increase the strength of this lining structure.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the anchor 1 includes multiple first anchor rods, multiple second anchor rods, and multiple third anchor rods. One end of each of the multiple first anchor rods, multiple second anchor rods, and multiple third anchor rods is installed in the surrounding rock layer of the tunnel. The other end of each of the multiple first anchor rods is connected to the first lining layer 5, the other end of each of the multiple second anchor rods is connected to the bottom corner area 4 of the surrounding rock, and the other end of each of the multiple third anchor rods is connected to the second lining layer 7. The diameter of each of the first, second, and third anchor rods is 25mm. The lengths of the first anchor rods are 32mm, preferably 28mm. The spacing between the first anchor rods at one end of the first lining layer 5 is 2m. The spacing between the second anchor rods at one end of the surrounding rock bottom corner area 4 is 2m. The spacing between the third anchor rods at one end of the second lining layer 7 is 2m. The lengths of the first, second, and third anchor rods range from 3m to 6m. In this embodiment, three third anchor rods are provided at a certain cross section (obtained by cutting along the tunnel width direction) on the second lining layer 7. The three third anchor rods are vertically installed on the second lining layer 7. Nine first anchor rods are provided at the same cross section on the first lining layer 5 and the second lining layer 7. The nine first anchor rods are equally spaced around the second lining layer 7. Two second anchor rods are provided at the same cross section on each surrounding rock bottom corner area 4 and the second lining layer 7.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, first anchor bars 2 are provided on both the bottom corner area 4 of the surrounding rock and the first lining layer 5. The first anchor bars 2 are installed in the surrounding rock layer of the tunnel. The angle between the first anchor bars 2 and the anchor 1 is 12°~18°. The first anchor bars 2 on the bottom corner area 4 of the surrounding rock are located near the connection between the first anchor bar 2 and the first lining layer 5. One end of the first anchor bars 2 on the bottom corner area 4 coincides with one end of a second anchor rod installed on it. The first anchor bars 2 on the first lining layer 5 are located near its bottom end, and one end of the first anchor bars 2 coincides with the connection point of the first anchor rod installed at that position. The angle between the two is preferably 15°. The first anchor bars 2 further increase the stability of the lining structure, improve the mechanical properties of the soil and rock, and enhance the shear strength of the lining structure. In this embodiment, the diameter of the first anchor bars 2 is 28mm and the length is 3-5 meters.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, multiple reinforcing ribs 6 are respectively arranged along the width direction of the tunnel between the bottom corner area 4 of the surrounding rock and the first lining layer 5, and along the height direction of the tunnel between the bottom corner area 4 of the surrounding rock and the second lining layer 7. The multiple reinforcing ribs 6 are arranged at equal intervals. In this embodiment, the multiple reinforcing ribs 6 between the bottom corner area 4 of the surrounding rock and the first lining layer 5 are arranged in three rows at equal intervals along the width direction of the tunnel, and the multiple reinforcing ribs 6 between the bottom corner area 4 of the surrounding rock and the second lining layer 7 are also arranged in three rows at equal intervals along the height direction of the tunnel. The distance between the center points of two reinforcing ribs 6 located at the same cross section in two adjacent rows is 15cm~20cm, preferably 18cm. The diameter of the reinforcing rib 6 ranges from 25mm to 32mm, preferably 28mm. The length of the reinforcing rib 6 is 35 times its diameter. The reinforcing rib 6 increases the stability of the connection between the bottom corner area 4 of the surrounding rock and the first lining layer 5, and the bottom corner area 4 of the surrounding rock and the second lining layer 7, thereby making the bottom corner area 4 of the surrounding rock, the first lining layer 5 and the second lining layer 7 form a whole. At the same time, it improves the overall stiffness and load-bearing capacity of the lining structure.

[0034] Second anchor bars 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the anchor 1 on the second lining layer 7. The second anchor bars 3 are fixed in the surrounding rock layer of the tunnel. The angle between the second anchor bars 3 and the upper surface of the second lining layer 7 is 45°~60°. In this embodiment, the second anchor bars 3 include multiple second anchor bars. One end of the multiple second anchor bars is connected to the second lining layer 7, and the other end of the multiple second anchor bars is connected to the surrounding rock layer of the tunnel around the second lining layer 7. The multiple second anchor bars located at one end of the second lining layer 7 are arranged at a spacing of 2m along the length of the tunnel. Among the multiple second anchor bars arranged at equal intervals, if the angle between the axis of one second anchor bar and the upper surface of the second lining layer 7 is 60°, then the angle between the two adjacent second anchor bars and the upper surface of the second lining layer 7 is 45°. In this embodiment, the diameter of the second anchor bar 3 is 28mm and the length is 3~5m. The second anchor bars 3 can improve the anchoring effect between the second lining layer 7 and the surrounding rock layer.

[0035] Both the first lining layer 5 and the second lining layer 7 are made of cast concrete to ensure sufficient strength and durability of the structure. This lining structure, through structural components such as anchors, reinforcing bars, and ribs, can effectively bear the pressure loads applied by the surrounding rock strata, ensuring the safety and stability of the tunnel structure.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
