Study of Tunnel Supporting Effect

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. The results show that, the prestress applied on the anchor equals to the supporting force when the tunnel plastic zone disappears. 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.

The elasto - plastic boundaries both for the lining and surrounding rock are discussed. The stress distribution law is different due to the different position of elastic - plastic boundary.

Analysis of Seismic Dynamic Responses of Tunnel throughFault Zone in High Earthquake Intensity Area

Based on dynamic time history analysis, dynamic response behavior of an un supported tunnel through fault zone which was simulated by interface and solid elements was studied under uniform input earthquake wave excitation. The analyses of response behaviors, including displacement difference, acceleration magnification, and plastic zones and so on, were carried out when earthquake wave excitation was input along transverse, longitudinal and vertical of tunnel respectively. The results show that simulation method for fault zone is effective; the earthquake causes obvious displacement difference at fault zone and surrounding rock contacting part. The maximal displacement difference reaches to 51.8mm under transverse uniform input earthquake wave excitation. And the displacement difference under vertical and longitudinal is only 44.3% and 23.1% of the transverse value, respectively; the acceleration magnification in fault zone is significantly greater than that in surrounding rock. Shear failure zone appears at the fault zone and surrounding rock contacting part, and it is especially prominent under input longitudinal earthquake wave excitation. It is proposed that fault zone has significantly influence on the dynamic performance of tunnel. The fault zone and the transitional zones are the control zones of seismic design when tunnel passes through fault zone, thus, the study on the anti seismic measures should be further strengthened.     

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.     

Slip Line Field of Plane Strain Problem Obeying the GeneralizedHoek Brown Failure Criterion

According to the characteristics of plane strain problem of elastic and plastic mechanics, the bi parametric expressions were derived for stress components satisfying the generalized Hoek Brown failure criterion. Being substituted into the static equilibrium partial differential equations, a group of first order hyperbolic pseudo linear differential equation partial differential equations was obtained. Utilizing the determinant method and proper variable transformation, the characteristic direction and the differential relation equation for the stress partial differential equations were acquired. The characteristic direction indicted that in plastic zone obliquely intersecting conjugate shear slip surfaces formed two families of non orthogonal slip lines, in which conjugate angle varied with the limit stress state and the material physical properties of Hoek Brown rock mass. Since the principal direction of the maximum principal stress was circumferential in perfectly elasto plastic surrounding rock of the plastic zone around a circular opening suffering the symmetric initial stress field, the angle between the tangential direction of slip line with the principal direction of the maximum principal stress was the function of the minimum principal stress(i.e. the radial stress). Combined with the analytical solution, the polar coordinate differential equation was derived and furthermore, the polar coordinate curve equation for the slip line was obtained.

The results in this study were compared with the current solutions in the literatures and the influence of intermediate principal stress and shear strength parameters of surrounding rocks was discussed. The results showed extensive applicability and the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion and Matsuoka-Nakai criterion are two special cases; when the intermediate principal stress coefficient b was equals to 0.5, the results indicated that the intermediate principal stress effect and its range for rock strength; the influence of cohesion and internal friction angle on the plastic radius and tunnel wall displacement was significant; Care should be taken to the effects of intermediate principal stress and shear strength parameter variations of surrounding rocks on tunnel design and construction.     

Elasto-plastic analysis on surrounding rock of roadways based on seepage, strain softening and dilatancy

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. The results show that the pore water pressure and rupture expansion rock mass have a more obvious impact on the surrounding rock rupture area than the plastic zone. Both the plastic zone and the rupture area are larger when the seepage field is considered. The impact of strain softening on both the plastic zone and the rupture zone of surrounding rock is very significant, and both seepage and strain softening rupture expansion affect deformation of surrounding rock of roadways obviously. It provides certain reference values for the roadway support engineering in seepage field.
