Tunnel engineering, as an effective means of traversing mountains and valleys, is widely used in transportation projects in cold regions. In tunnel construction in cold regions, to install a central deep-buried water ditch inspection well, it is necessary to disconnect the initial support steel frame of the invert arch at the corresponding position. Traditional methods include: 1) welding connecting plates or drilling holes at the disconnected end of the steel frame; 2) using anchor bolts to secure the break; 3) adding a longitudinal connecting steel frame and connecting the disconnected steel frame by welding or bolting. In all these methods, welding requires preheating treatment, the quality of low-temperature welding is difficult to guarantee, and the construction efficiency of welding and bolting connections is low.

[0007] The two ends of the longitudinally upright HW-shaped steel are fixedly connected to the sides of the circumferentially upright HW-shaped steel to form a rectangular closed structure;
[0008] The cut-off initial support steel frame is inserted into the I-beam slots on the longitudinal lateral HW-shaped steel and the two circumferential vertical HW-shaped steel to achieve a socket connection.
[0009] Furthermore, the longitudinally upright HW-shaped steel includes a longitudinal solid section, with longitudinal HW-shaped steel sections connected to both sides of the longitudinal solid section, and an I-beam slot is provided inside the longitudinal solid section.
[0010] Furthermore, the circumferential upright HW-shaped steel includes a circumferential HW-shaped steel section, with circumferential solid sections at both ends of the circumferential HW-shaped steel section, and an I-beam slot provided inside the circumferential solid section.
[0011] Furthermore, within the rectangular closed structure formed by two longitudinally upright HW-shaped steel sections and two circumferentially upright HW-shaped steel sections, HW-shaped steel diagonal braces are respectively installed at the four corners.
[0012] Furthermore, the two ends of the HW-shaped steel diagonal brace are welded to the longitudinal solid section and the circumferential HW-shaped steel section, respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, the longitudinal HW-shaped steel section has an H-shaped cross-section.
[0014] Furthermore, the cross-section of the circumferential HW-shaped steel section is I-shaped.

An I-beam slot is provided inside the longitudinal solid section 101, and the cross-section of the longitudinal HW-shaped steel section 102 is H-shaped.

Figure 5 As shown, the longitudinal HW-shaped steel sections 102 at both ends of the longitudinally upright HW-shaped steel 1 are welded to the circumferential solid section 202 to form a rectangular closed structure; the cut-off initial support steel frame 4 is inserted into the I-beam slots on the longitudinally upright HW-shaped steel 1 to form a type A joint; the cut-off initial support steel frame 4 is inserted into the I-beam slots at both ends of the circumferential upright HW-shaped steel 2 to form a type B joint, thus finally achieving a socket connection.
[0030] To increase the strength of the connection structure, HW-shaped steel diagonal braces 3 are installed at the four corners of the rectangular closed structure formed by two longitudinally upright HW-shaped steel sections 1 and two circumferentially upright HW-shaped steel sections 2. The two ends of the HW-shaped steel diagonal braces 3 are welded to the longitudinal solid section 101 and the circumferential HW-shaped steel section 201, respectively.

[0032] Step 1: Tunnel excavation, but not excavation of the inspection well section;
