In order to predict tunnel surrounding rock pressure, this paper puts forward a series of dynamic numerical simulative model on the tunnel excavation. According to the change of rock damage in the construction program, it adjusts dynamically the mechanical material parameters of surrounding rock. So the model achieves the purpose which is controlling and simulating the process of tunnel progressive damage. In accordance with the numerical simulative results, it analyzes the relationship between the rock parameters with the plastic strain, radial displacement. Then this paper proposes a prediction method of tunnel surrounding rock pressure based on the theory of the progressive damage and method of characteristic curve. Finally, it compares the pressure on the numerical simulative models with on the site date, and it proves that the prediction method has practical engineering value.

Surrounding Rock Pressure

During the period of tunnel excavation, shoring, forming and long-term operation, stress changes of tunnel surrounding rock are complex, the real-time monitoring of surrounding rock pressure is the key factor in ensuring long-term stability in tunnel. Fiber Bragg grating earth pressure sensors apply in surrounding rock pressure of tunnel which can change the pressure of the surrounding rock into fiber Bragg grating wavelength shift. According to the feature of pressure and temperature in Tian Xin Tunnel, 40 earth pressure sensors are embedded in 20 representative sections and one earth pressure sensor is embedded in each arch shoulder. In addition, one temperature compensation sensor is embedded in each arch crown. During the 235 monitoring days, the biggest daily change of surrounding rock pressure reaches 800 KPa. In 3 months of the sensor installation, the average monthly variation is within 50 KPa. The long-term measurement results indicate that the changes of surrounding rock pressure are different in different locations. When the surrounding rock is close to the excavated and blasted surface the surrounding rock pressure changes largely.

This paper presents new correlations for estimating the surrounding rock pressure of symmetrically shaped tunnels based on a symmetrical numerical model. Surrounding rock pressure is defined as the load acting on the support structure due to the deformation of the surrounding rock after tunnel excavation. Surrounding rock pressure is directly related to the selection of the lining structure and the determination of support parameters. The main challenge in designing and proceeding with the construction process is choosing a calculation method for the surrounding rock pressure for super-large sections, and this has been the focus of research among the tunnel research community. The excavation area of Liantang tunnel of Shenzhen Eastern Transit Expressway (China) is over 400 m2, making it the largest highway tunnel in the world so far. Based on this project, this paper analyses the applicability of various traditional methods of calculating the surrounding rock pressure for super-large section tunnels. In addition, based on the Tunneling Quality Index (Q), the factor of span is introduced into the method of calculating the surrounding rock pressure using the numerical simulation results of super-large symmetrical tunnels with different values of Q and different spans. Additionally, calculated correlations that could quickly estimate the surrounding rock pressure of tunnels are obtained. The comparison of surrounding rock pressures between the estimated and monitoring results of Liantang tunnel and more than 30 projects around the world effectively proves the rationality and universal applicability of the proposed correlations. This method could provide engineers and designers with a quick way to predict the surrounding rock pressure of deep super-large section underground structures during their design and construction stage.
