The Study on the Construction Method of Bolting-Grouting Integrated Operation for Unmanned Arch Erection
Abstract It is of great significance to improve the mechanization level and construction quality of tunnel construction. At present, large cross-section tunnels are emerging in China. The construction method based on manual work and supplemented by a machinery has long construction period, high labor intensity, and structural quality that cannot be guaranteed. To address those issues, this paper proposes the construction method of bolting-grouting integrated operation for an unmanned arch erection to achieve the rapid and safe construction of large section tunnels and reducing the amount of manual work. This paper mainly introduces the bolting-grouting integrated operation trolley, which can achieve the automatic installation of steel arch, the construction of locking anchor pipe, and shotcrete. Besides, this paper designs a new type of steel arch and an alternative way of longitudinal connecting reinforcement of steel arch. Moreover, with the field test and optimization adjustment of the Xinwushaoling tunnel, it is found that the construction method of bolting-grouting integrated operation for unmanned arch erection can overcome some disadvantages of traditional construction methods.
