Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of deep well tunnel technology, and in particular to a high-stress fractured surrounding rock pressure relief toughness support structure for deep wells. Background Technology
[0002] As the depth of mineral resource extraction continues to increase, the geological conditions faced by deep mine tunnels become increasingly complex, and the problem of high-stress fractured surrounding rock becomes increasingly prominent. In deep mines, the ground stress increases significantly, and the surrounding rock is not only subjected to high ground stress but also often accompanied by complex geological structures such as faults and joints, leading to rock mass fracture and severe damage to its integrity. In the environment of high-stress fractured surrounding rock in deep mines, tunnels are prone to problems such as large deformation, collapse, and floor heave.
[0003] Traditional support technologies are relatively limited in variety and difficult to adapt to complex and variable geological conditions at depth. For example, while bolt support works well in shallow roadways, in deep, high-stress environments, the limited anchoring force and shear resistance of bolts often fail to effectively control the deformation of the surrounding rock, leading to frequent problems such as bolt breakage and loosening of support supports. Furthermore, existing support technologies often fail to provide sufficient initial support load during installation, resulting in significant deformation of the roadway in the early stages of excavation, compromising the integrity of the surrounding rock and further reducing its self-supporting capacity. In addition, many mines do not fully consider the mechanical properties and deformation patterns of deep rock masses in their deep roadway support, leading to poor support performance or even support failure. This not only increases the frequency and cost of roadway repairs but also poses a serious threat to mine safety. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address or partially address the problems existing in related technologies, this application provides a high-stress fractured surrounding rock pressure relief toughness support structure for deep wells. The high-strength deformable pressure relief structure allows the anchor bolts to undergo a certain amount of tensile deformation, thereby releasing the deformation energy of the surrounding rock and preventing excessive deformation of the surrounding rock due to energy accumulation.
[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a pressure-yielding toughness support structure for deep well high-stress fractured surrounding rock, including a load-bearing structure and a reinforcement structure. The load-bearing structure includes an anchor mesh, prestressed anchor rods, anchor cables, anchor cable support beams, tough round steel bars, and a telescopic arch frame. The reinforcement structure includes a sealed ring grouting body and a full-section protective layer. The anchor mesh is laid along the outer contour of the roadway. The prestressed anchor rods penetrate the anchor mesh. The anchor cables are arranged circumferentially along the roadway. After penetrating the anchor cable support beams, the anchor cables pass through the anchor mesh and the fractured surrounding rock and are anchored to the deep hard rock layer. The anchor cable support beams are connected to the telescopic arch frame. The telescopic arch frame is laid in the roadway and tough round steel bars are fixedly installed on its outer side. The bottom of the telescopic arch frame is embedded with a sealed ring grouting body. The sealed ring grouting body is excavated as a reverse arc and forms a sealed support ring with the telescopic arch frame. The full-section protective layer covers the surface of the load-bearing structure and the sealed ring grouting body to form an integral support.
[0006] The telescopic arch frame is erected at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the roadway, and the arch frame segments are connected by flanges.
[0007] The round steel bar extends to the flange and is fixedly connected to the flange.
[0008] The telescopic arch frame is connected to the anchor cable support beam via a connecting plate. One end of the connecting plate is welded to the telescopic arch frame, and the other end is fixed to the anchor cable support beam with bolts.
[0009] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects: This application provides a pressure-yielding toughness support structure for deep wells with high-stress fractured surrounding rock. Under the action of surrounding rock pressure, it releases excess stress through staged and controllable pressure yielding, avoiding the support structure from breaking due to instantaneous overload. It also relies on the synergistic force distribution across the entire cross section to enhance the overall bearing capacity, significantly suppressing roof and floor bulging and sidewall shrinkage, and greatly reducing safety risks such as roof falls and sidewall spalling. At the same time, this structure can reduce the number of support repairs, reduce material consumption and labor costs, and extend the roadway stabilization period, providing reliable support for safe and efficient mining in areas with high-stress fractured surrounding rock in deep wells.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a high-stress fractured surrounding rock pressure-resistant support structure for deep wells, comprising a load-bearing structure and a reinforcement structure. The load-bearing structure includes an anchor mesh 1, prestressed anchor rods 2, anchor cables 3, anchor cable 3 support beams, tough round steel bars 4, and a telescopic arch frame 5. The reinforcement structure includes a closed-loop grouting body 6 and a full-section protective layer 7.
[0019] The prestressed anchor rod 2 of the load-bearing structure penetrates the anchor mesh 1. The front end of the anchor rod is inserted into the deep, stable rock mass through a drilled hole, and the rear end is fitted with a steel plate tray with a disc spring relief nut. After tightening the nut, the tray tightly presses the anchor mesh 1 against the surface of the surrounding rock. This connection method allows the anchor mesh 1 to form a "mesh constraint layer" through the pre-tightening force of the anchor rod, wrapping the fractured rock mass to prevent it from falling off. At the same time, when the surrounding rock undergoes initial micro-deformation, the relief nut of the anchor rod is compressed by the spring to achieve relief, and the anchor mesh 1 extends synchronously with the displacement of the anchor rod. The two work together to complete the dual functions of initial anchoring and relief.
[0020] Anchor cables 3 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the roadway. Each anchor cable 3 passes through a pre-designed anchor cable 3 support beam, which has pre-drilled holes for the anchor cable 3. The anchor cable 3 then penetrates the anchor mesh 1 and the fractured surrounding rock, anchoring to the deep, hard rock strata. The adjustable pressure relief lock at the end of the anchor cable 3 fits tightly with the anchor cable 3 support beam. Both ends of the support beam are fixed to the trays of adjacent prestressed anchor rods 2 by bolts, forming a rigid connection system. The support beam disperses the concentrated pressure of the anchor cables 3, preventing local tearing of the anchor mesh 1. This allows the pressure relief of the anchor cables 3 and the anchor rods to work synergistically: when the mid-term stress of the surrounding rock increases sharply, the anchor cable 3 lock first initiates pressure relief to release the stress, while the anchor rods assist in limiting local deformation, preventing rock instability during the pressure relief process of the anchor cables 3.
[0021] The telescopic arch frame 5 is erected longitudinally along the roadway at intervals, forming an arch frame. The arch frame segments are connected by flange bolts, and the expansion adjustment holes of the flanges can adjust the arch frame curvature in real time according to the deformation of the surrounding rock. Tough round steel 4 is fixed to the outside of the arch frame by full welding. Both ends of the round steel extend to the arch frame flanges and are welded to the flanges for reinforcement, forming an integrated tough structure of arch frame and round steel. Simultaneously, the arch frame is connected to the anchor cable 3 support beam via an L-shaped connecting plate. One end of the connecting plate is welded to the arch frame, and the other end is bolted to the anchor cable 3 support beam, allowing the circumferential pressure borne by the arch frame to be transferred to the anchor cable 3, preventing the arch frame from being overloaded alone. The round steel absorbs the impact energy of the surrounding rock through bending deformation, and the telescopic arch frame 5 adapts to radial deformation through segmental expansion and contraction. The two work together to form a flexible buffer and rigid support impact resistance system, suitable for impact loads under high stress in deep wells.
[0022] The tunnel floor is excavated into a reverse circular arc. Concrete is poured into the arc area to form a closed-loop grouting body 6. During pouring, the bottom of the expandable arch frame 5 is embedded into the grouting body. At the same time, a steel mesh is laid inside the grouting body, with both ends of the steel mesh overlapping the edges of the anchor mesh 1 on both sides. Through the embedded connection between the reverse circular arc grouting body and the bottom of the arch frame, combined with the overlap of the steel mesh and the anchor mesh 1, the floor slab grouting body and the flexible arch frame form a closed-loop support ring at the bottom, converting the vertical expansion force of the floor slab into circumferential distributed pressure.
[0023] The full-section protective layer 7 completely encloses and covers the anchor mesh 1, prestressed anchor rods 2, anchor cables 3, support beams, telescopic arch frames 5, tough round steel 4, and the bottom plate sealed ring grouting body 6. The concrete is tightly bonded to the surfaces of each structure, forming a fused full-section integral support system. The shotcrete layer blocks groundwater infiltration and prevents softening of the surrounding rock, and integrates the scattered support structures into a unified load-bearing body, achieving the goal of stable support after pressure relief, and meeting the long-term use requirements of deep wells with high-stress fractured surrounding rock.
[0024] Construction Process: In the construction of the fractured zone under high stress in the deep well, short excavation and short support are adopted. After excavation, resin anchor bolts and mesh 1 are used for pre-support to create conditions for continuous roadway construction. After support, the fractured surrounding rock can initially achieve stress release. As construction continues forward, depending on the deformation conditions of the surrounding rock, a suitable support time is selected (usually 8 to 48 hours after the initial support) to reinforce the anchor cable 3 support. After anchor cable 3 support, the fractured surrounding rock is further reinforced, while providing further stress release for the high-stress surrounding rock. Once the fractured surrounding rock is basically stable, arch frames combined with round steel for tough support are immediately adopted. Through the arch frames, the round steel along the outer edge of the arch frames forms tough support for the fractured surrounding rock. The roadway floor is excavated into a reverse arc, and concrete is poured to form a closed support ring with the tough arch frames, balancing and controlling the changing stress of the fractured rock mass. Finally, shotcrete support is used for the entire supported roadway, forming a reinforced concrete structure with the surrounding rock, completely solving the problem of high-stress fractured rock mass control.
