Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a corrugated steel structure for tunnel extension, which solves the technical problem that the existing corrugated steel structure for tunnel extension can only play a certain role in supporting and preventing falling rocks, and cannot meet the needs of long-term tunnel use.

The connecting strips are used to connect the arched plate and the first corrugated arch culvert.
[0013] Optional, also includes:
[0014] The I-beam is arched, and its axial direction is parallel to that of the first corrugated arch culvert. The I-beam is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the first corrugated arch culvert and is used to support the first corrugated arch culvert.
[0015] Optionally, the first corrugated arch culvert includes:

[0024] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this utility model are as follows:

Multiple support units are combined to form an overall corrugated arch culvert structure. The second corrugated arch culvert is a small-wave corrugated plate, further enhancing the support and compressive strength. The corrugation length direction of the second corrugated arch culvert is perpendicular to that of the first corrugated arch culvert. Compared with conventional and unidirectional corrugated structures of the same length, this results in better stress distribution, stronger tensile strength, flexible stress resistance, and impact resistance, and better resistance to soil and rock pressure and rockfall impact. Concrete can be poured to fill the space, forming a composite support structure. The steel reinforcement frame within the space can distribute the load and extend the service life of the structure. The double-layer corrugated arch culvert, combined with the steel reinforcement frame and concrete, forms a three-dimensional support system, significantly improving compressive strength and solving the problem of insufficient support effect in traditional structures.

[0038] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0039] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a corrugated steel structure for tunnel extension according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, comprising several supporting frames 1 and several steel structure frames arranged at intervals along the tunnel axis; a first corrugated arch culvert 2 is disposed between two adjacent supporting frames 1 and located on the inner peripheral wall of the supporting frame 1; a second corrugated arch culvert 3 is disposed between two adjacent supporting frames 1 and located on the outer peripheral wall of the supporting frame 1, and there is a receiving space 4 between the first corrugated arch culvert 2 and the second corrugated arch culvert 3; a steel reinforcement frame 5 is disposed in the receiving space 4, and the steel reinforcement frame 5 is distributed along the circumferential and / or axial direction of the tunnel, and the steel reinforcement frame 5 is used to support the first corrugated arch culvert 2 and the second corrugated arch culvert 3.
[0040] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the inner wall of each supporting frame 1 is fixed to the first corrugated arch culvert 2, and the outer wall is fixed to the second corrugated arch culvert 3. A receiving space 4 is formed between the first corrugated arch culvert 2 and the second corrugated arch culvert 3. The receiving space 4 is provided with steel reinforcement frames 5 distributed along the circumferential and / or axial directions of the tunnel. It should be noted that the steel reinforcement frames 5 can not only support the first corrugated arch culvert 2 and the second corrugated arch culvert 3, but also serve as a supporting skeleton when pouring concrete into the receiving space 4 later.
[0041] Specifically, the first corrugated arch culvert 2, the second corrugated arch culvert 3, and the supporting frame 1 form a supporting unit. Multiple supporting units are combined to form an overall corrugated arch culvert structure. The second corrugated arch culvert 3 is a corrugated plate with a small wave shape, which further improves the supporting and compressive strength effect.
[0042] During fabrication, the first corrugated arch culvert 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the supporting frame 1, and a steel reinforcement frame 5 is laid within the accommodating space 4. The second corrugated arch culvert 3 is fixed to the outer wall via connecting wing plates 32. During installation, the entire supporting frame 1 structure is installed inside the tunnel or at the tunnel entrance. It should be noted that, taking the tunnel entrance as an example, rockfalls often occur there, necessitating an "extension" of the tunnel entrance. This device can extend the tunnel entrance, keeping it as far away from falling rocks as possible. Concrete can be poured to fill the area, forming a composite support structure. The double-layer corrugated arch culvert, combined with the steel reinforcement frame 5 and concrete, forms a three-dimensional support system, significantly improving compressive strength and solving the problem of insufficient support effect in traditional structures. The steel reinforcement frame 5 within the accommodating space 4 can distribute the load, extending the structural service life.
[0043] In some examples, the corrugation direction of the first corrugated arch culvert 2 is perpendicular to the corrugation direction of the second corrugated arch culvert 3. Compared with conventional structures of the same corrugation length, this design can better distribute the stress, resulting in better compressive strength and stronger support. The perpendicular corrugation direction can distribute the stress in a cross manner, improving compressive strength compared to conventional unidirectional corrugated structures, and better resisting the pressure of surrounding soil and rockfalls.
[0044] In some examples, the support frame 1 includes an arched plate 11, which is detachably connected to the sidewall of the first corrugated arch culvert 2. Several connecting strips 12 are spaced apart and detachably disposed between the arched plate 11 and the sidewall of the first corrugated arch culvert 2. The connecting strips 12 connect the arched plate 11 and the first corrugated arch culvert 2. The spaced arrangement of the connecting strips 12 can evenly transfer the load, enhancing the connection stability between the support frame 1 and the corrugated arch culvert. Furthermore, the gap between adjacent connecting strips 12 facilitates concrete pouring.
[0045] In some examples, an I-beam 8 is also included. The I-beam 8 is arched and its axial direction is parallel to that of the first corrugated arch culvert 2. The I-beam 8 is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the first corrugated arch culvert 2 and is used to support the first corrugated arch culvert 2.
[0046] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, inside the first corrugated arch culvert 2, arched I-beams 8 are installed at regular intervals along the axial direction and fixed to the first corrugated plate 21 by bolts to form a support frame. The I-beams 8 enhance the deformation resistance of the first corrugated arch culvert 2, especially when the load inside the tunnel is large, they can prevent local collapse of the corrugated plate and improve the overall support strength.
[0047] In some examples, the first corrugated arch culvert 2 includes a number of first corrugated plates 21, which are spliced end to end; and a number of flanges 22, each flange 22 being disposed at the splice of two adjacent first corrugated plates 21, and the two adjacent first corrugated plates 21 are spliced together through the flanges 22.
[0048] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the flanges 22 of the first corrugated plate 21 are aligned and bolted together to form a continuous arched structure, which is then installed on the inner circumferential wall of the support frame 1. The flange 22 splicing also facilitates on-site assembly, adapts to different tunnel length requirements, and has high connection strength, ensuring the integrity of the structure.
[0049] In some examples, the second corrugated arch culvert 3 includes several second corrugated plates 31, which are spliced end to end; connecting wing plates 32 are disposed on the side walls of the second corrugated plates 31, and the second corrugated plates 31 are detachably connected to the arch plate 11 through the connecting wing plates 32.
[0050] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second corrugated plate 31 is spliced together with flange 22 to form an outer corrugated arch culvert; the connecting flange 32 is aligned with the bolt holes on the arch plate 11 and fixed with bolts, so that the second corrugated arch culvert 3 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the support frame 1. The connecting flange 32 realizes the detachable connection between the second corrugated arch culvert 3 and the support frame 1, which facilitates the replacement of damaged parts in the future, while ensuring that the supporting force of the outer peripheral wall is transferred to the support frame 1. The modular design enables low-cost maintenance and replacement, effectively improving the problems of troublesome maintenance and difficulty in replacement of existing corrugated steel structures.
[0051] In some examples, several shear studs are also included. One end of the shear stud 6 is inserted through the first corrugated plate 21 or the second corrugated plate 31, and the other end of the shear stud 6 is connected to the steel reinforcement frame 5. The shear stud 6 is used to reinforce the first corrugated plate 21 and the second corrugated plate 31.
[0052] For example, such as Figure 3As shown, the shear stud 6 includes an arc-shaped piece 7, which covers the first corrugated plate 21 or the second corrugated plate 31. Taking the first corrugated plate 21 as an example, the arc of the arc-shaped piece 7 matches the arc of the trough of the first corrugated plate 21; the anchor rod is perpendicular to the first corrugated plate 21 and passes through the arc-shaped piece 7 and the first corrugated plate 21, and its passing end has threads. The arc-shaped piece 7 and the first corrugated plate 21 have threaded holes that match the passing end; the stiffener is a fan-shaped structure fixed to one side of the anchor rod, and its arc edge contacts the arc-shaped piece 7 and matches the arc shape of the contact part; one of its straight edges is fixed to the anchor rod along the length direction of the anchor rod; the nut matches the thread of the passing end of the anchor rod, and it is sleeved on the passing end of the anchor rod and contacts and locks the first corrugated plate 21.
[0053] When installing shear studs, firstly, the curved plate 7 is placed on the first corrugated plate 21. The anchor rod, with welded reinforcing plates, is then passed through the curved plate 7 and the first corrugated plate 21 and locked with a nut. During the locking process, the reinforcing plates gradually press against the curved plate 7, ensuring complete contact between the curved plate 7 and the first corrugated plate 21. Finally, the contact surfaces of the reinforcing plates and the curved plate 7 are welded together to completely fix the three components. Double-sided welding is used during installation. Applying sealant to the curved plate 7 during installation effectively seals and prevents leakage.
[0054] In some examples, a T-shaped steel 9 is provided between two first corrugated plates 21 arranged along the tunnel axis, and the T-shaped steel 9 is used to connect the two first corrugated plates 21.
[0055] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, at the circumferential splice of the first corrugated arch culvert 2, the web of the T-shaped steel 9 is embedded in the corrugated gap, and the flange is fixed to the flange 22 of the corrugated plates on both sides with bolts. A sealing strip can be installed on the contact surface. The T-shaped steel 9 not only connects the adjacent first corrugated plates 21 and improves the strength of the splice, but also enhances the sealing performance through the sealing strip, preventing groundwater or falling rocks from entering and extending the service life of the structure.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
