With the rapid development of tunnel construction in China, deep buried and long tunnel projects are emerging in areas with complex engineering geological conditions and harsh environment, and thus large deformation of tunnels under conditions of high in situ stress and soft rock becomes increasingly prominent and endangers engineering safety. Therefore, it is of great significance to control the deformation and improve the stability of surrounding rock by analyzing the thickness and distribution law of loose circle according to the unique mechanical properties and failure mechanism of surrounding rock of large deformation soft-rock tunnel. Based on unified strength theory, this paper deduces the radius calculation formula of the loose circle by considering the influence of intermediate principal stress. Furthermore, the theoretical calculations and field tests of the loose circle in the typical sections of grade II and III deformation of Yuntunbao tunnel are carried out, and the thickness and distribution law of loose circle of surrounding rock of large deformation soft-rock tunnel is revealed. The results show that the formula based on the unified strength criterion is applicable for a large deformation tunnel in soft rock.

Abstract The sericite schist is a typical metamorphic soft rock. Large deformation of surrounding rock often occurs in the construction of a tunnel in this stratum. Due to the broken rock mass structure and poor mechanical strength in Baishitou tunnel project of Dalin line of Southwest railway, it is impossible to prepare standard samples for a traditional rock mechanical test. Therefore, we chose penetrometer (SH-70) for an in situ test. Firstly, we monitored the deformation of typical sections and analyzed the characteristics of large deformation of soft rock in the tunnel. Secondly, we tested the needle penetration index of fresh excavation face and side wall. Then, we estimated some mechanical parameters of sericite schist by a needle penetrometer and Hoek-brown criterion and discussed the acquisition of mechanical parameters of soft rock. The results show the following: (1) the characteristics of extrusion rock tunnel are summarized as large deformation, fast deformation rate, and obvious construction disturbance. (2) The reference value of penetration index of sericite schist (the vertical joint direction) is 3.90~7.77 N/mm, and the parallel joint direction is 1.27~2.99 N/mm. (3) The uniaxial compressive strength estimated by a penetrometer is 0.78~8.53 MPa, and the strength of the surrounding rock is negatively correlated with the amount of deformation. Therefore, it can be considered that the insufficient strength of surrounding rock is the fundamental reason for large deformation. (4) The reference value of cohesion of sericite schist estimated by a penetrometer is 0.203 MPa, and the reference value of internal friction angle is 18.224°. Compared with the common estimation methods, the penetrometer is more convenient and economical, which can provide a new idea for obtaining the mechanical parameters of sericite schist soft rock tunnel.

In the process of tunnel construction, if large-deformation occurs in high geostress soft rock, it will likely cause geological disasters. This situation will not only seriously affect the smooth progress of tunnel construction, but also cause serious safety threat to the construction personnel. Therefore, with the continuous growth in the number and scale of tunnel construction in recent years, the construction technology for high geostress soft rock with large-deformation has begun to receive more and more attention from the society. Based on this, this paper takes an actual project as an example to analyze the specific application of the technology in order to improve the construction effect and avoid the damage caused by the large-deformation of the high geostress soft rock.

Bolt Support

The weak surrounding rock has the characteristics of easy softening, poor integrity, low mechanical strength, etc., which makes it easy to induce different degrees of deformation and damage under excavation disturbance and then seriously affects the stability of the tunnel. Carrying out soft rock tunnel deformation prediction research and designing the supporting structure according to the predicted value is of great significance to engineering construction and design. Based on the grey theory, the large deformation of the vault, shoulder, and waist of the soft rock tunnel are predicted, and then the specific bolt support is designed in the maximum predicted value (Smax·R) area. The control effects of different bolts, spacing (d), length (L) on the maximum displacement (Smax·M), and maximum stress (σmax·M) the surrounding rock are analyzed by numerical simulation. Results show that the gray model has high prediction accuracy, the best prediction time is one week, and the maximum error is only 2.99%; with the decrease in d, resin bolt support has a significant supporting effect compared with mortar bolt support, with Smax.M and σmax·M reduced by 64.38% and 10.35%, respectively; as the L of bolt increases, compared with the mortar bolt support, the resin bolt support has a more obvious restraining effect on the surrounding rock deformation, and Smax·M and σmax·M are reduced by 28.20% and 10.00%, respectively; when 4.5 m < L < 6.0 m and 0.6 m < d < 0.7 m, resin bolt support should be adopted; in other ranges, mortar bolt support or resin bolt support has a less significant difference in controlling surrounding rock deformation.

The impacting effect of lithological features, tectonic stress, the mechanical parameters, structure surface contrasts were comparative analysis, to explore the effect from mentioned factors to surrounding rock-lining in schist tunnel. In order to make sure the dependence relationship of large deformation with these factors, the significant and interaction on large deformation in rock-mess and lining mechanical mechanism were studied according to the experiment data and statistics theory. The result shows that elastic modulus E, side pressure coefficient λ, and joint spacing S have obvious influence on the mechanical properties of surrounding rock-lining, and there is interaction among them. Furthermore, the influence of the interaction between S and λ to rock-lining is found to be significant, and there is an obviously dependent relationship between anchor failure and joints spacing. Therefore, when discussing the reduction measures to avoid the large deformation, the most appropriate method is to study it in overall factors and with the interaction.
