In this paper, the mechanical behaviors of pipe roof and bolt of shallow and unsymmetrical tunnel in soft rock are analyzed. Through the finite element software Phase2.0, combined with the geological conditions that construction site often appear, the mechanical behaviors of pipe roof and bolt and surrounding rock in the process of horseshoe highway tunnel construction in the condition that surface is soft rock and underground for the bedrock are analyzed. Research results show that: after tunnel excavation in soft rock, surrounding rock near the tunnel is easy to suffer soft-rock large deformation even failure, which needs to timely support；Due to the impact of the unsymmetrical tunnel, the mechanical behaviors of surrounding rock are unsymmetrical, such as the maximum displacement of tunnel around 0.4 m distant from apex of arch ring, the stress is asymmetrical on both sides of the tunnel arch ring etc; In addition, pipe roof can effectively prevent from the displacement of soft rock strata, improve tunnel strength factor, reduce the plastic zone of surrounding rock. This paper provides theoretical basis for the design of pipe roof and bolt.

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.

Design And Construction

As a typical granular bulk medium, problems are common in boulder-cobble mixed grounds, such as easy collapse and instability and difficult effective support for large-section tunnel excavation. Tunnels constructed in BCM grounds are rare still, and there is a big gap between the design and construction of tunnels. Based on the Nianggaicun highway tunnel crossing the BCM grounds, the construction technology of tunnel in BCM grounds is studied by means of literature investigation and field survey. Here are the main conclusions: the overall deformation of surrounding rock is quite small; the pressure distribution of surrounding rock is small and loose pressure is dominant, and the safety reserve of secondary lining is large. The deformation process of surrounding rock concentrates on the construction stage. During the construction process, there are many problems, such as serious overexcavation, difficulty of bolt penetration, and continuous rock fall. In this paper, a three-bench complementary cyclic excavation method is proposed, which replaces the original CD and CRD methods. Meanwhile, the supporting system is optimized. The results show that the disturbance of surrounding rock is reduced, while the safety of construction process and the reliability of structure are increased. The new excavation method and optimized supporting system are expected to fill the gap between design and construction of tunnel in BCM grounds and provide reference for construction of such tunnels in the future.

The stability of the surrounding rock is the key problem regarding the normal use of coal mine roadways, and the floor heave of roadways is one of the key factors that can restrict high-yield and high-efficiency mining. Based on the 1305 auxiliary transportation roadway geological conditions in the Dananhu No. 1 Coal Mine, Xinjiang, the mechanism of roadway floor heave was studied by field geological investigation, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulation. We think that the surrounding rock of the roadway presents asymmetrical shrinkage under the original support condition, and it is the extrusion flow type floor heave. The bottom without support and influence of mining are the important causes of floor heave. Therefore, the optimal support scheme is proposed and verified. The results show that the maximum damage depth of the roadway floor is 3.2 m, and the damage depth of the floor of roadway ribs is 3.05 m. The floor heave was decreased from 735 mm to 268 mm, and the force of the rib bolts was reduced from 309 kN to 90 kN after using the optimization supporting scheme. This scheme effectively alleviated the “squeeze” effect of the two ribs on the soft rock floor, and the surrounding rock system achieves long-term stability after optimized support. This provides scientific guidance for field safe mining.

Taking +150 inclined shaft going through the soft rock strata at Muchengjian mine as the background, and based on the analysis of the deformation and failure feature of the roadway surrounding rock in the soft rock strata, this paper makes X-Ray Differaction (XRD) phase analysis of the soft rock; using finite difference numerical software FLAC3D, it stimulates and makes comparative analysis of the stress and deformation distribution characteristics of the roadway surrounding rock with bolt support with different intervals, and the support of the high-strength bolt with high pre-tension stress in the inclined shaft through the soft rock strata. The results show that the roadway surrounding rock in the +150 inclined shaft at Muchengjian mine is swelling soft rock prone to softening, degradation and swelling in water, which is bad for the roadway support; different types of rock strata have significant different impact on the stress and deformation of the roadway surrounding rock; for the soft rock roadway, the increased pre-tension stress of the bolt can cause higher compressive stress in the roadway surrounding rock and reduce the tension failure of the surrounding rock;compared with the end anchorage, the full-size anchorage with high pre-tension stress can cause the overlap of the conical compressive stress zone and enhance the roadway overall support.

Due to poor engineering geological conditions of Liujiazhuang tunnel on Shanghai-Kunming Passenger Dedicated Line, the large deformation of weak rock occurs repeatedly during tunnel construction. In this paper, the large-scale finite element software ABAQUS is used to simulate the construction process of a large-section tunnel in weak surrounding rock. It is found that when tunnel face passes through the coal seam, the displacement and stress simulated by the bench method increase abruptly. The maximum stress reaches up to 18 MPa, and displacement reaches 45 mm, which is about twice when without crossing coal seam. It is technically feasible to use the bench method for tunnel construction, under the condition when large settlements is allowed; additionally, the bench method has better technical and economic benefits than that of the CD method. Through the comparative analysis of onsite monitoring data and numerical simulation results, it can be seen that the tunnel is in a dangerous state when passing through the coal seam and measures such as strengthening support or auxiliary advance support should be taken immediately to control the surrounding rock and to ensure tunnel construction safety.
