[0002] Vertical collapse and mudslide in tunnel arches are characterized by their short occurrence time, rapid flow rate, large volume of mud, and high safety risks. If not effectively managed during tunnel construction, they can severely impact project construction and even subsequent operational safety. Currently, there are limited and ineffective methods for managing vertical collapses in tunnels.
[0003] Traditionally, concrete sealing is commonly used to deal with vertical cavities in the tunnel arch. However, this method has the following problems: ① Concrete sealing technology achieves the effect of sealing the cavity opening by pumping concrete. This method is suitable for small-section cavities, but not effective for large-section cavities; ② Concrete is a rigid structure. After the sealing is completed, if rocks fall into the cavity and hit the concrete later, the concrete is prone to cracking or even damage.
[0004] To address the challenges of dealing with vertical collapses and mud inrushes in tunnel arches, there is an urgent need for a device suitable for large-section collapses and effective handling of vertical collapses and mud inrushes in tunnel arches, in order to solve the problems existing in current technologies.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] A device for handling vertical collapse cavities and mud inflows in tunnel arches includes a backfill layer, a concrete layer, a buffer layer, pre-support, and initial support. The backfill layer is placed on the mud inflow within the tunnel below the collapse cavity to seal the cavity over a large area and prevent small materials from falling into it.

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.
[0027] Example:
[0028] refer to Figure 1 A device for handling mud inflow and accumulation in a vertical collapse cavity of a tunnel arch includes a backfill layer 1, a concrete layer 2, a buffer layer 3, an advance support 4, and an initial support 5. The backfill layer 1 is placed on the mud inflow inside the tunnel 12 below the collapse cavity 11. The concrete layer 2 and the buffer layer 3 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top between the backfill layer 1 above the tunnel arch and the sidewall of the collapse cavity 11 to fill and seal the gap formed between the backfill layer 1 and the collapse cavity 11 at the tunnel arch. The initial support 5 is placed at the lower part of the backfill layer 1 inside the collapse cavity 11 and is connected to the initial support 6 at the uncollapsed part inside the tunnel 12. The advance support 4 is located above the initial support 5 and one end of the advance support is connected to the initial support 5.
[0029] In this embodiment, the collapsed cavity is initially sealed by the backfill layer, and a concrete layer and a buffer layer are set between the backfill layer and the collapsed cavity. In particular, the backfill layer adopts the large pipe shed of root canal drilling for advanced support, which can be effectively used for sealing and fixing large-area collapsed cavities. The buffer layer can reduce the impact force of falling stones hitting the concrete layer and protect the concrete layer.
[0030] The tunnel arch vertical collapse cavity mud inrush and accumulation disposal device of this embodiment also includes a pump pipe 7 and / or a sand blowing pipe. One end of the pump pipe 7 and / or the sand blowing pipe is installed inside the tunnel 12 and connected to a delivery pump, and the other end is installed inside the cavity of the collapse cavity 11. It is used to deliver concrete to the backfill layer 1 and the collapse cavity 11 to form a concrete layer 2 and to deliver fine sand to form a buffer layer 3. The pump pipe and the sand blowing pipe can be the same pipe or two pipes can be installed simultaneously. The height of the pump pipe 7 and / or the sand blowing pipe entering the collapse cavity 11 is not less than 3 meters to ensure that the concrete layer and the buffer layer can be processed to the required thickness.
[0031] The advanced support 4 includes multiple sets of large pipe sheds 4.1 inclinedly inserted into the accumulator 13. Each large pipe shed 4.1 is a hollow structure, with M30 cement mortar filling the hollow areas. The use of internally grouted large pipe sheds to form the advanced support ensures the strength of the soil within the collapsed cavity during the initial support phase of construction, preventing further damage. The specifications of the large pipe sheds are Φ108×6mm, with a minimum length of 9 meters per cycle, preferably 15 meters, and a circumferential spacing of 40cm.
[0032] Sandbags 8 are provided between the backfill layer 1 and the initial support 6 of the uncollapsed area in the tunnel 12 for further sealing the gaps.
[0033] The initial support 5 includes multiple first-type steel arches arranged along the tunnel length direction, with a steel mesh between adjacent first-type steel arches; a concrete layer is provided on the steel mesh; the initial support 6 in the non-collapsed area includes multiple second-type steel arches arranged along the tunnel length direction, with a steel mesh between adjacent second-type steel arches; a concrete layer is provided on the steel mesh; the first-type steel arches are connected to the second-type steel arches.
[0034] It also includes an inclined grouting steel pipe 9, one end of which is inserted obliquely into the slag in the collapsed cavity 11, and the other end is inserted into the concrete layer in the initial support 5.
[0035] The inclined grouting steel pipe 9 is 4.5m long and is arranged at a spacing of 80×80, with an external insertion angle of 60°.
[0036] A secondary lining 10 is also processed below the initial support 5 and the initial support 6 in the uncollapsed area. An inverted arch is provided below the road surface in the tunnel 12, and steps are also provided on the backfill layer 1 in the tunnel 12.
[0037] The construction method of the tunnel arch vertical collapse cavity mud inrush and accumulation disposal device in this embodiment is as follows:
[0038] 1. After the mud gushing from the vertical collapse cavity inside the tunnel arch is cleared, the slag is backfilled and pressed back onto the entrance of the karst cave to form a backfill layer structure, preventing small materials from falling into the collapse cavity;
[0039] 2. Install concrete pump pipes and sand blowing pipes into the collapsed cavity, with the pump pipes entering the collapsed cavity at a height of not less than 3 meters;
[0040] 3. Seal the gaps between the backfill layer and the initial support in the uncollapsed areas with sandbags;
[0041] 4. Use a pump to pump C20 concrete to form a concrete layer, backfill the gap between the collapsed cavity and the backfill layer, and seal the collapsed cavity opening;
[0042] 5. A conveying pump is used to transport fine sand to the concrete layer inside the collapsed cavity to form a buffer layer. This provides a buffer to prevent stones from falling into the cavity and hitting the concrete layer later, reducing the impact force of the stones and ensuring the safety of the concrete layer.
[0043] 6. After the collapse cavity is treated, Φ108×6mm large pipe sheds are used for advance support. The length can be adjusted appropriately according to the drilling conditions on site. The shortest length is not less than 9m. The circumferential spacing of the large pipe sheds is 40cm. The number of circumferential sheds is set according to the principle that all unsafe areas of the collapse cavity are set. The large pipe sheds adopt the root pipe drilling process. M30 cement mortar is used for grouting inside the large pipe sheds.
[0044] 7. After the large pipe shed construction is completed, the collapsed body is removed piece by piece using the short step reserved core soil method. Then, the first type of steel arch frame is erected and connected to the second type of steel arch frame of the initial support of the undamaged and uncollapsed area. Reinforcing mesh is set up, and 30cm thick C20 concrete is sprayed to form the initial support. The initial support of the collapsed body area is reinforced with φ42×4mm inclined grouting steel pipes, with a length of 4.5m, a spacing of 80×80 (longitudinal×circular), and an external insertion angle of 60°. The grouting of the inclined grouting steel pipes uses 1:1 cement grout. In order to control the amount of grout loss, the grouting is done intermittently with alternate holes, and the grouting pressure is 0.8~1.0MPa.
[0045] 8. Excavate the backfill layer in stages inside the tunnel, and set up an invert arch under the tunnel surface as needed. After each treatment is completed to the length of one section of secondary lining, construct the secondary lining in a timely manner.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
