Ensuring the stability of the shaft structure is one of the key technologies for the application of raise boring method. In the process of reaming through rock formations with water disintegration characteristics, the impact of water gushing and drenching may induce partial collapse. To solve this problem, an intelligent temporary while-boring support technology is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the main characteristics of the technology are introduced. Utilizing the space inside the raise boring pipes, the material conveying pipes and nozzle can reach the lower part of the reamer to realize spraying support. Secondly, a composite cementitious supporting material with good mechanical properties is developed to ensure the sealing and waterproofing of the surrounding rock. Thirdly, a test study was carried out on key process parameters. The results show that the best engineering economic benefits under the condition that the rotation speed is 2r/min and the distance between the nozzle and the surrounding rock is 1m. Fourthly, an image classification algorithm based on Resnet-34 convolutional neural network is proposed, which realizes the intelligent judgment of the effect of surrounding rock support. Finally, an industrial test was carried out in Lijiahao Coal Mine. The test results show that the intelligent temporary while-boring support technology proposed in this paper has a good performance, effectively achieving the sealing and water resistance of the surrounding rock, and the shaft structure has not been damaged.

Abstract The impact disturbance has an important influence on the safety of underground engineering openings. In this paper, based on the in-situ stress measurement and structural plane investigation, the model of jointed rock roadway was established using the discrete element method (3DEC) to study the instability and failure characteristic of roadway surrounding rock with dominant joint planes under impact disturbance and to further analyze the influence of different buried depths, impact stress wave peaks, and stress wave delays on the stability of the surrounding rock. The results show that the stability of the surrounding rock is poor, and the whole convergence deformation of the surrounding rock occurs under the impact stress wave. There are three failure modes in the surrounding rock: tensile-shear failure, tensile failure, and shear failure. Tensile-shear failure mainly occurs in a small range close to the roof and floor of the roadway and the free surfaces of the two sides, and tensile failure occurs locally, while shear failure mainly occurs along the joint plane outside this range. Moreover, the greater the buried depth and stress wave peak value, the more serious the deformation of the surrounding rock. With the increase of stress wave delay, the deformation of the surrounding rock shows complex characteristics. In addition, the impact failure mechanism of the surrounding rock in jointed rock masses was discussed. The research results have important guiding significance for the prevention and control of underground engineering cavern disasters.

In recent years, experimental and numerical researches on the effect of blasting pressure on the stability of existing tunnels was widely obtained. However, the effect of the blasting pressure during excavation a new tunnel or expansion old tunnels on an existing tunnel has disadvantages and still unclear. Some researches were carried out to study the relationship of the observed Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) on the lining areas along the existing tunnel direction, due to either the lack of in situ test data or the difficulty in conducting field tests, particularly for tunnels that are usually old and vulnerable after several decades of service. This paper introduces using numerical methods with the field data investigations on the effect of the blasting in a new tunnel on the surrounding rock mass and on the existing tunnel. The research results show that not only predicting the tunnel lining damage zone under the impact of blast loads but also determination peak maximum of explosion at the same time at the surface of tunnel working.

Abstract. Gravel cushions are widely used to absorb the impact energy of falling rocks in open-pit mines. A particularly important application is to enhance the energy-absorbing capacity of rockfall sheds. In this paper, we study how varying the thickness and particle size of a gravel cushion influences its energy-consumption and buffering effects. We performed a series of laboratory drop tests by dropping blocks from a fixed height onto cushions of different thicknesses and particle sizes. The results indicate that, for a given impact energy, the cushion thickness has a strong influence on the measured coefficient of restitution (COR) and therefore impact pressure. Additional tests were performed to study how the radius of the block and the height it is dropped from affect the measured COR. This showed that as the movement height of the block is increased the COR also increases, and blocks with larger radii exhibit a larger variability in measured COR. Finally, we investigated the influence of rockfall block radius, r, movement height, H, cushion thickness, h, and particle size, d, on the COR and the damage depth, L, of the cushion. The test results reveal that the cushion thickness is the primary design parameter, controlling not only COR, but also the stability of the cushion material. The results provide a theoretical and practical basis for the design of gravel cushions for rockfall protection.

In the decision making of tunnel excavation and support scheme, stability analysis of surrounding rock-support structure is an essential link. Especially in fractured weak zone under complex geological condition, accurately measuring the deformation of support structure has an important significance for fast and safe construction. Based on the application of convergence confinement principle in judging tunnel deformation, this paper presented a new idea of using the ultimate displacement of tunnel initial support to analyze the stability of tunnel surrounding rock-support structure. Then, with a full investigation on the deformation and failure characteristics of highway tunnel surrounding rock at fractured weak zone, the ultimate displacement was got by using methods of numerical calculation and site monitoring measurement. Finally, the stability analysis of support structure in Zhongxing Tunnel was done. It can be arrived that there is a certain gap between true value u and measured value um of surrounding rock deformation. If the measuring points are installed after three excavation cycle, u is approximately equal to 1.6 um. then, based on the analysis of numerical simulation results and monitoring data of Zhongxing Tunnel, the paper indicated that the top and spring of arch are risk regions, reserved deformation of fractured weak zone is not enough, it should be adjusted from 10cm to 20cm.

The strong aerodynamic drag under a railroad vehicle in motion causes the track ballast to fly up and around. The flying ballast can collide with the underside of the coach, damaging the electronics installed there. There are even cases wherein the aerodynamics of fast-moving train causes the gravel to hit the side of the coach and break the windows. Extensive and numerous studies are underway to reduce the damage caused by such phenomena. In this study, a “smart paint sensor” for impact monitoring was fabricated using piezoelectric nano powder and commercial paint for railroad vehicles, and the application of impact monitoring to railroad vehicles was analyzed. The process was simplified because the use of commercial paint eliminated the need to apply an additional layer of functionalized paint. Furthermore, the fact that the paint can be evenly sprayed on a large surface made it suitable for use on large and intricate objects such as a railroad vehicle bogie. Because railroad vehicles are exposed to thermal stress for a long period of time, a thermal fatigue test was conducted in order to figure out the stability of the polymer-based material, which is relatively vulnerable to temperature variations. The test results were used to analyze the impact sensitivity of the piezoelectric paint sensor. For the analysis, a full-size mock-up of the railroad vehicle bogie and an impact monitoring system with piezoelectric paint sensor were implemented in order to visualize the impact signals from differently shaped objects with large surfaces.

In order to improve the impact resistance and mechanical performance of anchor rods and satisfy the requirements for supporting rockburst roadways, the energy balance equation of the energy-absorbing support and roadway surrounding rock system is established. Moreover, to effectively prevent rockburst disasters, the energy criterion for roadway instability is derived. From the perspective of an energy-absorbing support, a yield-absorbing anti-shock anchor composed of a rod body, tray, constant resistance energy-absorbing device, and special-shaped nut is designed and developed; compared with ordinary anchor rods, this rod has stronger mechanical properties for resisting impact. Theoretical and numerical simulation studies show that the energy-absorbing device has a repeatable deformation failure mode and a constant yield force. The paper also presents the principle involved in the design of anti-shock bolt supports. The energy-absorbing support not only effectively guides and controls the release and conversion of impact energy but also consumes the impact energy in the buffering process of the anchor to ensure the stability of surrounding rock and support protection system. This study aims to provide reference for roadway support design and to improve rock bolts used in rockburst roadways.
