Geological Conditions

The stability of the surrounding rock masses of underground powerhouses is always emphasized during the construction period. With the general trends toward large-scale, complex geological conditions and the rapid construction progress of underground powerhouses, deformation and failure issues of the surrounding rock mass can emerge, putting the safety of construction and operation in jeopardy and causing enormous economic loss. To solve these problems, an understanding of the origins and key affecting factors is required. Based on domestic large-scale underground powerhouse cases in the past two decades, key factors affecting the deformation and failure of the surrounding rock mass are summarized in this paper. Among these factors, the two most fundamental factors are the rock mass properties and in situ stress, which impart tremendous impacts on surrounding rock mass stability in a number of cases. Excavation is a prerequisite of surrounding rock mass failure and support that is classified as part of the construction process and plays a pivotal role in preventing and arresting deformation and failure. Additionally, the layout and structure of the powerhouse are consequential. The interrelation and interaction of these factors are discussed at the end of this paper. The results can hopefully advance the understanding of the deformation and failure of surrounding rock masses and provide a reference for design and construction with respect to hydroelectric underground powerhouses.

Lining Structure

Based on the dynamic damage constitutive model of concrete material and seismic rock-lining structure interaction analysis method, the seismic response of lining structure in large underground powerhouse is studied in this paper. In order to describe strain rate dependence and fatigue damage of concrete material under cyclic loading, a dynamic constitutive model for concrete lining considering tension and shear anisotropic damage is presented, and the evolution equations of damage variables are derived. The proposed model is of simple form and can be programmed into finite element procedure easily. In order to describe seismic interaction characteristics of the surrounding rock and lining, an explicit dynamic contact analysis method considering bond and damage characteristics of contact face between the surrounding rock and lining is proposed, and this method can integrate directly without iteration. The proposed method is applied to seismic stability calculation of Yingxiuwan Underground Powerhouse, results reveal that the amplitude and duration of input seismic wave determine the damage degree of lining structure, the damage zone of lining structure is mainly distributed in its arch, and the contact face damage has great influence on the stability of the lining structure.

The Stability

The right bank underground powerhouse of Houziyan hydropower station is a typical deep-buried type with high geostress and complicated geological conditions. To monitor and analyze the stability of surrounding rock mass during continuous excavation of the powerhouse excavation and locate the potential failure zones, an ESG (Engineering Seismology Group) microseismic monitoring system manufactured in Canada was installed in April, 2013. The wave velocity of the monitoring system was determined through fixed blasting tests. And the average location error is the minimum while P-wave velocity is 5700m/s, less than 10m and meeting the system request. By combining the temporal and spatial distribution regularity of microseimic events with field excavation, micro-crack clusters and potential instability zones were identified and delineated. The results will provide a reference for later excavations and supports of the underground powerhouse. Furthermore, a new monitoring method can also be supplied for the stability analysis of surrounding rock mass in deep-buried underground powerhouses.

Abstract The gob-side entry driving is driving in low pressure area, which bears less support pressure and is easy to maintain, so it is widely used. Taking the gob-side entry driving in thick coal seam of Dongtan Coal Mine as an example, the reasonable size of pillar and the section of roadway are numerically simulated by combining numerical with measurement, and the roadway support is designed. According to the distribution of lateral stress in working face, eight pillars of different sizes are designed. By simulating and comparing the stress distribution of surrounding rock and the development range and shape of plastic zone in different positions, the pillar size of gob-side entry driving is optimized to be 4.5m. According to the results of optimization of roadway section, the section of straight wall semi-circular arch roadway is adopted. According to the analysis, the roadway is supported by bolt + steel mesh + anchor cable. By observing the stability of roadway, it provides experience for the stability study of roadway the gob-side entry driving with small pillar in thick seam.

Interlayer Shear

In the process of underground cavern excavation, the existence of the interlayer shear zones or large faults often makes the surrounding rock tend to be unstable or even deformed. Under the influence of interlayer shear zone C2, different degrees of deformation and failure occurred in many parts during the excavation of the Baihetan left bank underground powerhouse. Based on field monitoring and numerical calculation, this paper studies the deformation and failure characteristics of the rock mass with C2 in the whole excavation process and the failure mechanisms are analyzed. The results show that C2 has poor mechanical properties. In the process of excavation, it mainly induces two failure modes: rock collapse and shear deformation, which specifically leads to rock collapses, large deformation and shotcrete cracking in the main powerhouse, and shear deformation in the omnibus bar caves. In addition, the similarities and differences between this study and other studies on the deformation and failure of surrounding rock of underground powerhouse in recent years are discussed, and the relevant treatment measures for C2 are given. The above research results can be a reference for other related studies.

Distribution Of Stress

The underground powerhouse of Houziyan hydropower station has some typical characteristics such as high strata stress, large span and high sidewalls. In this paper, numerical simulation of continuous excavation and support of the underground caverns was performed using the Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continuum method (FLAC3D). Then, the distribution characteristic of the deformation field, stress field and plastic zones was analyzed based on the numerical calculation results. In addition, the distribution of stress was compared with microseismic events. It shows that stress concentration can cause micro-seismic events regional aggregation.
