In the decision making of tunnel excavation and support scheme, stability analysis of surrounding rock-support structure is an essential link. Especially in fractured weak zone under complex geological condition, accurately measuring the deformation of support structure has an important significance for fast and safe construction. Based on the application of convergence confinement principle in judging tunnel deformation, this paper presented a new idea of using the ultimate displacement of tunnel initial support to analyze the stability of tunnel surrounding rock-support structure. Then, with a full investigation on the deformation and failure characteristics of highway tunnel surrounding rock at fractured weak zone, the ultimate displacement was got by using methods of numerical calculation and site monitoring measurement. Finally, the stability analysis of support structure in Zhongxing Tunnel was done. It can be arrived that there is a certain gap between true value u and measured value um of surrounding rock deformation. If the measuring points are installed after three excavation cycle, u is approximately equal to 1.6 um. then, based on the analysis of numerical simulation results and monitoring data of Zhongxing Tunnel, the paper indicated that the top and spring of arch are risk regions, reserved deformation of fractured weak zone is not enough, it should be adjusted from 10cm to 20cm.

Surrounding Rock Deformation

To control the large deformation that occurs in deep shaft-surrounding rock, the post-peak strain-softening characteristics of deep jointed rock mass are discussed in detail. An equivalent post-peak strain-softening model of jointed rock mass is established based on continuum theory and the geological strength index surrounding rock grading system, and numerical simulations are performed using FLAC3D software. The convergence-constraint method is used to analyze the rock support structure interaction mechanism. A composiste support technique is proposed in combination with actual field breakage conditions. During the initial support stage, high-strength anchors are used to release the rock stress, and high-stiffness secondary support is provided by well rings and poured concrete. This support technology is applied in the accessory well of a coal mine in Niaoshan, Heilongjiang, China. The stability of the surrounding rock support structure is calculated and analyzed by comparing the ideal elastic-plastic model and equivalent jointed rock mass strain-softening model. The results show that a support structure designed based on the ideal elastic-plastic model cannot meet the stability requirements of the surrounding rock and that radial deformation of the surrounding rock reaches 300 mm. The support structure designed based on the equivalent joint strain-softening model has a convergence rate of surrounding rock deformation of less than 1 mm/d after 35 days of application. The surrounding rock deformation is finally controlled at 140 mm, indicating successful application of the support technology.

Taking Chaijiazhuang Tunnel of Lingnan Expressway as project background, the stability analysis of surrounding rock was performed based on the coupled fluid-solid theory. The distributions of stress field, displacement field and plastic zone of rock mass after excavation of tunnel were discussed considering coupled effect between flow and stress under the condition of different rock level and tunnel depth. Compared with the calculation results of not considering coupling effect, the maximum deformation, maximum principle stress and plastic zone size of wall rock were obviously increased when considering coupling effect, which showed a remarkable influence of coupled fluid-solid effect on the stability of tunnel surrounding rock. Some conclusions were drawn and may provide some guidance to the design and construction of tunnels in water-rich strata.

Coulomb Criterion

The deformation and failure of tunnel surrounding rock is the result of tunnel excavation disturbance and rock stress release. When the local stress of surrounding rock exceeds the elastic limit of rock mass, the plastic analysis of surrounding rock must be carried out to judge the stability of tunnel. In this study, the Lade–Duncan yield criterion is used to calculate the analytic solutions for the surrounding rock in a tunnel, and the radius and displacement of the plastic zone are deduced using an equilibrium equation. The plastic zone radius and displacement based on Lade–Duncan criterion and Mohr–Coulomb criterion were compared by using single-factor analysis method under the different internal friction angles, in situ stresses, and support resistances. The results show that the solutions of the radius and displacement of plastic zone calculated by the Lade–Duncan criterion are close to those of Mohr–Coulomb criterion under the high internal friction angle and support resistance or low in situ rock stress; however, the radius and displacement of the plastic zone calculated by the Lade–Duncan criterion are larger under normal circumstances, and the Lade–Duncan criterion is more applicable to the stability analysis of the surrounding rock in a tunnel.

The stability of the tunnel portal section under poor terrain and geological condition has always been the focus of construction safety. The stability problem has become more complex for the erosion accumulation area under the valley. In this paper, firstly the stability of the tunnel portal is classified. Combined with engineering cases, the FEM numerical method is used to simulate the supporting structure and construction process of the tunnel. Based on the distribution of the plastic zone and displacement of surrounding rock, the mechanism of the instability of the tunnel portal is analyzed. Through the optimized construction scheme that arranges pile foundation in tunnel arch foundation, the bearing capacity of foundation has been greatly improved, which has effectively prevented the instability of surrounding rock caused by the slope deformation and foundation settlement. The conclusions that have been drawn in this paper can be used for reference for related projects.

The paper adopts the interface element to simulate the joints so as to systematically and quantitatively study the deformation around tunnel, the mechanic state of lining and the stability under different inclining angles of joints. The result shows that the deformation around tunnel deteriorates mainly along the joint during the inner convergence effects of surrounding rock. When the inclining angle α=45°, the deformation around the tunnel is most serious, followed by that when α=90°, α=60°, α=30° and α=0°. At the same time, the influence of inclining angle on the distribution of the axial force of lining is comparatively small. But the distribution of bending moment and shear change obviously where the joints penetrate the tunnel. The tunnel stability of surrounding rock is the poorest when α=90° and the tunnel is most stable when α=0°. The stability of surrounding rock changes little when α is between 30° and 60°. The research result provides an effective calculation method for the forecast of deformation, the design of structure and the stability analysis of jointed tunnel. It is also helpful for the monitoring of construction and calculation of jointed tunnel in the future.

The ideal point method is a kind of multiple-goal decision analysis method, the basic idea is to construct the ideal and anti-ideal solution of multi attribute problem, with degree that near ideal solution and away from the anti-ideal solution as the basis to judge each evaluation object. Based on the basic principle of ideal point method, and comprehensive consideration of the actual geological conditions of Qingdao metro, we selected rock compressive strength, integrity coefficient, structure surface behavior, groundwater and softening coefficient as the evaluation factors of surrounding rock stability, and used the rough set theory to determine the index weight. At last, established the evaluate model for the surrounding rock stability of metro based on the rough set efficacy coefficient method. The research show that the stability analysis results are consistent with the actual excavation, so using rough set efficacy coefficient method to analysis surrounding rock stability of Qingdao Metro is feasible, which provides a new idea for the stability analysis of surrounding rock.
