Non-contact monitoring and analysis system for tunnel surrounding rock deformation of underground engineering

It is very important to monitor surrounding rock deformation in tunnel construction. The principle, function, development and application of the system composed of a total station and computer for monitoring and analyzing surrounding rock deformation were discussed. The new methods of two free station of 3D measurement and its mathematic adjustment mode were presented. The development of software for total station on-board and post for computer were also described. Without centering it and measuring its height, the total station controlled by the software on-board can fulfill the whole measurements to target points. Monitoring data can be processed by the post software and results of regression analysis, forecasting information of the tunnel surrounding rock deformation can be provided in time. The practical use shows that this system is practicable, highly accurate and efficient. It satisfies the needs of safety and information construction in tunnel construction of underground engineering.
