[0018] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0019] Please see Figure 1It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the disclosed technical content. Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a rockburst tunnel support structure suitable for TBM construction method, including prestressed anchor rods 1 embedded in the surrounding rock of the tunnel, and a primary sprayed fiber concrete layer 2, a steel mesh and a steel frame 4 and a secondary sprayed fiber concrete layer 5 sequentially arranged on the tunnel wall. A first arch buffer layer 3 is provided between the primary sprayed fiber concrete layer 2 and the steel mesh and steel frame 4. A second arch buffer layer 6, a steel bar 7 and a cast-in-place concrete layer 8 are sequentially arranged on the upper surface of the secondary sprayed fiber concrete layer 5.

[0021] In this embodiment, an initial support layer and a secondary lining layer are set in the surrounding rock of the tunnel to improve the stability of the tunnel support structure and the safety of the TBM method construction process.

[0022] Among them, the prestressed anchor rod 1, the initial sprayed fiber concrete layer 2, the first arch buffer layer 3, the steel mesh and steel frame 4, and the re-sprayed fiber concrete layer 5 form the initial support layer, achieving the effect of first being flexible and then being steel.

[0023] The second arch buffer layer 6, the reinforcing steel 7, and the cast-in-place concrete layer 8 form a secondary lining layer.

[0024] The two sprayed fiber concrete layers can quickly seal the surrounding rock and effectively control its deformation, and work synergistically with the first arch buffer layer 3 and the second arch buffer layer 6, respectively.

[0025] The thickness of the first sprayed nanofiber concrete is 50mm, and the thickness of the second sprayed nanofiber concrete is 130mm. Of course, the thickness of the two sprayed nanofiber concrete is not limited to these and can be adjusted according to the actual construction situation. For example, the thickness of the first sprayed nanofiber concrete is 40-80mm, and the thickness of the second sprayed nanofiber concrete is 120-150mm.

[0026] After the tunnel boring machine begins excavation, a 3cm over-excavation is performed using a bolt drilling rig to prepare for the application of a buffer layer. The over-excavation area is the tunnel arch. The buffer layer consists of a first arch buffer layer 3 and a second arch buffer layer 6. Both the first arch buffer layer 3 and the second arch buffer layer 6 are filled with polyethylene foam, providing waterproofing and shock absorption. The installation of the first arch buffer layer 3 and the second arch buffer layer 6 allows for the graded absorption of rockburst impact energy, increasing the buffer energy dissipation threshold for strong rockburst impacts and enhancing the safety of the rockburst tunnel support structure.

[0027] In this embodiment, the prestressed anchor rod 1 is 500cm long and is evenly distributed along the circumference of the tunnel surrounding rock. Of course, the length of the prestressed anchor rod 1 is not limited to 500cm; it can be in the range of 480-520cm, and the workers can make the appropriate selection according to the actual construction conditions.

[0028] In this embodiment, the thickness of both the first arch buffer layer 3 and the second arch buffer layer 6 is 8mm. Of course, the thickness of the first arch buffer layer 3 and the second arch buffer layer 6 is not limited to 8mm, and can be in the range of 6 to 10mm. The workers can make the appropriate selection according to the actual construction situation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the thickness of the initial sprayed fiber concrete layer 2 is 60mm, but it is not limited to 60mm and can be in the range of 40 to 80mm.

[0030] In this embodiment, the thickness of the sprayed fiber concrete layer 5 is 130mm, but it is not limited to 130mm and can be in the range of 120 to 150mm.

[0031] In this embodiment, the thickness of the cast-in-place concrete layer 8 is greater than 200 mm.

[0032] In summary, the first and second arch buffer layers in this invention can absorb rockburst impact energy respectively, increasing the buffer energy consumption threshold when dealing with strong rockburst impacts, thereby increasing the safety of the tunnel support structure. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
