Analysis on Interfacial Stress Between Surrounding Rock and Shotcrete Lining

According to the characteristics of interfacial stress between surrounding rock and shotcrete support, mechanical model of composite curved beame for support system of tunnel surrounding rock and shotcrete lining was established, considering the interfacial deformation coordination and the effects of bearing arch of surrounding rock. Then from static equilibrium of two differential elements, the differential equations for the radial displacement of composite curved beam were obtained. All analytic formulas of both interfacial stress and internal forces between surrounding rock and shotcrete lining by arbitrary distribution load were derived. And thus the mechanical condition of interface zone and the stress concentration position were obtained, which is convenient to assess the stability of surrounding rock and predict the safety. Finally, the analysis of tunnel project excavated by bench method showed that shotcrete lining made the formation of compressive stress zone in surrounding rock by transferring stress from the interface between surrounding rock and shotcrete, which is beneficial to improve the stability of surrounding rock.     

A THEORETIC BREAKDOWN CRITERION OF HYDROFRACTURING IN ROCK SALT

Experimental results of the basic mechanical properties and failure mode performed on rock salt demonstrate that rock salt is a typical and peculiar soft rock , whose" Young' s modulus/strength(E/S)"ratio is extremely small,and whose failure follows the deformation failure criterion. With these results,this paper develops a theoretic breakdown criterion of hydraulic fracturing in rock salt,which is based on the greatest tension strain failure theory and includes the vertical stress effects. It has been suggested that the critical tension strain should be determined from uniaxial compression tests. This theoretic criterion exceedingly agrees with experimental results and is applicable for every soft rock with small E/S ratio under various stresses.

According to seepage body force, strain softening and rupture expansion of rock mass, elastic-plastic mechanics theory, distribution laws of stress and displacement of surrounding rock in seepage field are derived, and relationships between different zonation range of the surrounding rocks, pore water pressure, strain softening and rupture expansion are established.

Simulation Analysis of Spatial Distribution of Roadway′s Surrounding Rock Stress

To get the spatial distribution characteristic of roadway's surrounding rock stress, circular section roadway was taken as a case study. The solution of stress was got by using complex function method, and roadway's surrounding rock stress field was analysed after the solution of mapping space was transformed into the solution of roadway space. As a result, the visual diagram of stress field distribution of roadway's surrounding rock was obtained, which could describe intuitively stress distribution of roadway's surrounding rock at any position. Considering the influence of different radius and side pressure coefficients on surrounding rock stress field, the following conclusions have been obtainded: the peak value and direction of circular roadway's surrounding rock stress has nothing to do with the radius; when side pressure coefficient is less than 1/3,the roof can produce tensile stress; when side pressure coefficient is more than 3, the surrounding rock in two sides can produce tensile stress. And the change rule of hoop stress, radial stress, shear stress and the maximum and minimum of stress have also been generated.

Rock classification method for tunnel boring machine

In order to study the geological factors which impact penetrating rate of tunnel boring machine (TBM), this paper uses three-dimensional discrete element model 3DEC to build simulated models on rock fragment by TBM cutter. It analyzes the influence of different geological conditions on TBM penetrating rate and classified the surrounding rock in west route of south-to-north transfer project according to the drill ability of TBM in surrounding rock. The results show that the penetrating rate of TBM is closely related to the mechanical properties of rock and joint conditions in rock mass. In certain extent, TBM penetrating rate will be increased with the decrease of rock strength or closely distributed joints. TBM penetrating rate will be decreased with the increase of rock strength or rarely distributed joint. Another result is that the surrounding rock by TBM penetrating can be divided into three classes based on the drill ability of TBM in surrounding rock, which can guide the TBM penetrating.     

Load Calculation Method of Shallow Tunnel under Unsymmetrical Loadings in Broken Surrounding Rock

Tunnel portal section mostly faces unfavorable geologic and topographical conditions, such as broken surrounding rock, shallow and unsymmetrical loadings. The current Chinese code for design of road tunnel provides the load calculation method of tunnel under unsymmetrical. However, according to the mechanic and deformation characteristics of the tunnel lining on site, the assumption is not suitable for the shallow tunnel under unsymmetrical loadings in broken surrounding rock. Therefore, through engineering case analysis and results of three-dimensional numerical analysis, the failure mechanism of shallow tunnel under unsymmetrical loadings in broken surrounding rock is presented firstly, that is, deep buried side broken surrounding rocks slump down after excavation and squeeze the lining, which makes the lining deform outward and bear passive earth pressure. Through the failure mechanism, the surrounding rock mainly includes slumping area and passive area. Then the corresponding formulas are deduced based on limit equilibrium theory. Finally, a case study is adopted to verify the feasibility of the new method. It is show that the new method is more reasonable than the method of current code.

During the construction of non-symmetric double-arch rock highway tunnel, the complicated geological condition may affect the safety of the constructor and the engineering quality. In this paper, two treatment methods are put forward. At first, the site monitoring of surrounding rock displacement must be carried out, then, BP neural network is applied in predicting the displacement of surrounding rock based on the learning sample of measured value, so the stability of surrounding rocks may be analyzed and forecasted. During the analysis of BP neural network, the effects of joint and fracture of surrounding rock on displacement can be comprehensively considered, comparing the predicted values of displacement with those by FEM. The results show that not only the predicted error of BP neural network is relative small, but the predicted values of surrounding rock displacement are close to measured ones. So, the predicted values of BP neural network are reliable and may guide the engineering construction in site.

Based on the elastic theory, an analysis can be made on stress and plastic deformation under tunnel excavation and shotcrete support.FLAC 3D can be used to simulate the mechanical behavior of excavation and support, getting the deformation of surrounding rock stress and plastic without support and shotcrete.

This support improves the self bearing capacity of surrounding rock, effectively suppresses the expansion of the plastic zone after the tunnel excavation, and prevents further damage to the tunnel surrounding rock.
