Extensive Property

Collapse or large deformation of fractured surrounding rock mass occurs frequently in underground tunnelling and results in many casualties and extensive property damage. This paper proposed a new type of remote telemetry system for monitoring the mechanical responses of underground tunnels during unloading. This system adopted both wired and wireless networking schemes, including a signal collection and transmission subsystem, a management analysis subsystem, and a remote receiving subsystem, in the tunnels. The application of this new approach in a subway tunnel indicated that the complete unloading performance of a surrounding rock mass can be captured in real time and high frequency using this method, recording the deformation of the surrounding rock, the stress in the bolts, and the stress in the shotcrete between the surrounding rock and steel arch. The in situ experimental study also found that deformation of the fractured surrounding rock mass in the Dashizi Tunnel showed a step-like fluctuating growth pattern. Additionally, the mechanical response of the surrounding rock mass during unloading tended to stabilize when the opening face was approximately 35 m away from the monitoring section, providing new ways to optimize the excavation process and support measure.

Tianpingzhai Tunnel on Dazhou-Wanzhou Expressway passes through the mined-out area, the spatial position of the goaf changes constantly comparing to the tunnel during excavation, and broken rock mass of the caving zone is most likely to collapse, which affects construction safety in return. Two dimensional computation models were built by using finite differential software FLAC to simulate excavation process when the coal-mined area is right above or below the tunnel. In 2D models, goaf strata were regarded as horizontal, and buried depth and coal thickness were limited to 300 meters and 0.5 meter respectively. The displacement around the tunnel, forces of primary lining, axial force of bolts and plastic zone of surrounding rock have been analyzed under these circumstances that the distances between tunnel and goaf are 1m, 6m and 12m. According to the results, when the distance between goaf and tunnel is less than 12 meters,underlying goaf has greater impact on the displacement around the tunnel and average axial force of bolts than overlying goaf, as well as the size of plastic zone of surrounding rock. Its strongly suggested to avoid underlying goaf if the tunnel have to pass through the mined-out area.

Fracturing Mechanism

In the deep rock mass surrounding, rock burst, large deformation, zonal fracturing and phenomena like these may occur in the tunnel excavation process. When zonal fracturing happens, it is essential to reconsider the types of support, the boundary of support and the approach of tunnel excavation. In this paper, the control theory about the surrounding rock stability under high pre-existing stresses was researched, and the efficient support form which was the combination of high strength anchor bar and anchor cable was ascertained to be adaptive to deep tunnel excavation. According to the deformation and zonal fracturing mechanism of the surrounding rock, a comprehensive support program that combined intensive short anchor bars and long anchor cables was established, and the numerical simulation was carried out to verify the feasibility of the support form.

Abstract There is great variation in the lithology and lamination thickness of composite roof in coal-measure strata; thus, the roof is prone to delamination and falling, and it is difficult to control the surrounding rock when developing roadway in such rock strata. In deep mining, the stress environment of surrounding rock is complex, and the mechanical response of the rock mass is different from that of the shallow rock mass. For composite-roof roadway excavated in deep rock mass, the key to safe and efficient production of the mine is ensuring the stability of the roadway. The present paper obtains typical failure characteristics and deformation and failure mechanisms of composite-roof roadway with a buried depth of 650 m at Zhaozhuang Coal Mine (Shanxi Province, China). On the basis of determining a reasonable cross-section shape of the roadway and according to the failure characteristics of the composite roof in different regions, the roof is divided into an unstable layer, metastable layer, and stable layer. The controlled unstable layer and metastable layer are regarded as a small structure while the stable layer is regarded as a large structure. A superimposed coupling support technology of large and small structures with a multi-level prestressed bearing arch formed by strong rock bolts and highly prestressed cable bolts is put forward. The support technology provides good application results in the field. The study thus provides theoretical support and technical guidance for ground control under similar geological conditions.

The Impact

Rockbursts are one of the prominent problems faced by deep underground engineering. Not only do they affect the construction progress, but they also threaten the safety of construction personnel and equipment, and may even induce earthquakes. Therefore, the prediction of rockbursts has very important engineering significance for the excavation of deeply buried tunnels. In this paper, a new indicator for stability and optimization evaluation of hard, brittle surrounding rock under high geo-stresses, namely the minimum energy storage limit of surrounding rock induced by transient unloading, is proposed. In addition, the time for erecting support for tunnel excavation in the rockburst area and the impact of excavation dimensions on rockburst are investigated. The results show that transient unloading during the tunnel excavation process will reduce the energy storage limit of the rock mass. When the strain energy density of the local surrounding rock exceeds the minimum energy storage limit of the rock mass, the rock mass energy is suddenly released, and rockburst occurs. Rockburst is most likely to occur at 0.42–0.65 D away from the working face. The increasing length of a round adopted in high geo-stress areas will make the surrounding rock unstable and increase the probability of rockburst.

The article presents the studies into the secondary stress field formed in surrounding rock mass around underground excavations of different cross-sections and the variants of principal stresses at a mining depth greater than 1 km. The stress-strain analysis of surrounding rock mass around development headings was performed in Map3D environment. The obtained results of the quantitative analysis are currently used in adjustment of the model over the whole period of heading and support of operating mine openings. The estimates of the assumed parameters of excavations, as well as the calculations of micro-strains in surrounding rock mass by three scenarios are given. During heading in the test area in granite, dense fracturing and formation of tensile strain zone proceeds from the boundary of e ≥ 350me and is used to determine rough distances from the roof ( H roof) and sidewalls ( H side) of an underground excavation to the 3 boundary e = 350me (probable rock fracture zone). The modeling has determined the structure of secondary stress and strain fields in the conditions of heading operations at great depths.

The Stability

Based on the fluid-solid coupling theory, we study the stability of surrounding rock mass around underground oil storage in Huangdao, Shandong province, analyze the stress of the surrounding rock mass around three chambers and the displacement change of several key monitoring points after excavation and evaluate the stability of surrounding rock mass using COMSOL Multiphysics software. Research results show that the stress at both sides of the straight wall of cavern increases, especially obvious stress concentration forms at the corners of the cavern, and the surrounding rock mass moves towards the cavern after excavation. The stress and displacement of the surrounding rock mass will increase accordingly after setting the water curtains, but the change does not have a substantive impact on the stability of surrounding rock mass.
