Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tunnel construction and relates to a structure for offsetting lateral convergence of a lower tunnel. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous growth of traffic demand, the reconstruction and expansion projects of existing tunnels are increasing. In the process of tunnel reconstruction and expansion, especially when double-layer tunnel structure is involved, the lower tunnel often faces the problem of lateral convergence during construction and operation.
[0003] The following technical problems exist in the process of reconstruction and expansion of the tunnel to offset the lateral convergence of the lower tunnel: (1) During the reconstruction and expansion of the tunnel, the excavation of the lower tunnel will break the original stress state of the surrounding rock and soil. The stress of the rock and soil will be redistributed, causing pressure to the tunnel periphery. This pressure is one of the important reasons for the lateral convergence of the tunnel. (2) When the reconstruction and expansion is carried out on the basis of the existing tunnel, the existing tunnel structure itself will affect the newly excavated lower tunnel. The load transmitted by the existing tunnel lining structure will increase the pressure borne by the lower tunnel, and the existence of the existing structure will limit the deformation release path of the lower tunnel during construction, aggravating the lateral convergence. (3) In the double-layer tunnel structure, the connection design between the upper and lower tunnel structures is crucial. If the connection structure is unreasonable, it cannot effectively transmit the load and coordinate the deformation, and the lower tunnel is prone to local stress concentration when bearing the upper load and its own rock and soil pressure, thereby causing lateral convergence. (4) After the completion of the reconstruction and expansion of the tunnel, it enters the operation stage, and long-term operation loads such as vehicle dynamic load, seismic load, etc. will have a continuous impact on the lower tunnel. These loads will cause fatigue damage to the tunnel structure, leading to gradual lateral convergence deformation of the tunnel.
[0004] The existing technology often needs to use complex and time-consuming construction processes to deal with the problem of lateral convergence of the lower tunnel, such as multiple temporary support reinforcement and repeated deformation monitoring and adjustment, and the existing temporary support measures and post-maintenance treatment measures have limitations in dealing with the problem of lateral convergence of the lower tunnel, often leading to an increase in construction cost.
