Analysis of the interaction between bolt-reinforced rock and surface support in tunnels based on convergence-confinement method

To investigate the interaction of the bolt-reinforced rock and the surface support,an analytical model of the convergence-confinement type is proposed,considering the sequential installation of the fully grouted rockbolts and the surface support.The rock mass is assumed to be elastic-brittle-plastic material,obeying the linear Mohr-Coulomb criterion or the non-linear Hoek-Brown criterion.According to the strain states of the tunnel wall at bolt and surface support installation and the relative magnitude between the bolt length and the plastic depth during the whole process,six cases are categorized upon solving the problem.Each case is divided into three stages due to the different effects of the active rockbolts and the passive surface support.The fictitious pressure is introduced to quantify the threedimensional(3D)effect of the tunnel face,and thus,the actual physical location along the tunnel axis of the analytical section can be considered.By using the bolt-rock strain compatibility and the rocksurface support displacement compatibility conditions,the solutions of longitudinal tunnel displacement and the reaction pressure of surface support along the tunnel axis are obtained.The proposed analytical solutions are validated by a series of 3D numerical simulations.Extensive parametric studies are conducted to examine the effect of the typical parameters of rockbolts and surface support on the tunnel displacement and the reaction pressure of the surface support under different rock conditions.The results show that the rockbolts are more effective in controlling the tunnel displacement than the surface support,which should be installed as soon as possible with a suitable length.For tunnels excavated in weak rocks or with restricted displacement control requirements,the surface support should also be installed or closed timely with a certain stiffness.The proposed method provides a convenient alternative approach for the optimization of rockbolts and surface support at the preliminary stage of tunnel design.

Trend analysis and comparison of basic parameters for tunnel blast design models

One of the most important factors influencing on a tunnel blast efficiency is the proper design of blasting pattern. Among blasting parameters, blasthole diameter and tunnel face area are more significant so that any change in these parameters could finally affect on specific charge and specific drilling. There are mainly two groups of methods for tunnel blast design categorized based on the parallel cuts and angular cuts. In this research, a software for tunnel blast design was developed to analyze the effect and sensitiveness of blasthole diameter and the tunnel face area on blasting results in different blast design models. Using the software, it is quickly possible to determine specific charge, specific drilling and number of blastholes for each blast design model. The relations between both of blasthole diameters and the tunnel face area with the above parameters in different blast design models were then investigated to yield a set of equations with the highest correlations to compare the methods. The results showed that angular method requires more blasthole numbers than parallel method in similar condition(blasthole diameter and tunnel face area). Moreover, the specific charge values yielded by the two methods are approximately the same and very close together.

Geotechnical investigations and remediation design for failure of tunnel portal section： a case study in northern Turkey

Mass movements are very common problems in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey due to its climate conditions, geological, and geomorphological characteristics. High slope angle, weathering, dense rainfalls, and anthropogenic impacts are generally reported as the most important triggering factors in the region. Following the portal slope excavations in the entrance section of Cankurtaran tunnel, located in the region, where the highly weathered andesitic tuff crops out, a circular toe failure occurred. The main target of the present study is to investigate the causes and occurrence mechanism of this failure and to determine the feasible remedial measures against it using finite element method(FEM) in four stages. These stages are slope stability analyses for pre-and postexcavation cases, and remediation design assessments for slope and tunnel. The results of the FEM-SSR analyses indicated that the insufficient initial support design and weathering of the andesitic tuffs are the main factors that caused the portal failure. After installing a rock retaining wall with jet grout columns and reinforced slope benching applications, the factor of safety increased from 0.83 to 2.80. In addition toslope stability evaluation, the Rock Mass Rating(RMR), Rock Mass Quality(Q) and New Austrian Tunneling Method(NATM) systems were also utilized as empirical methods to characterize the tunnel ground and to determine the tunnel support design. The performance of the suggested empirical support design, induced stress distributions and deformations were analyzed by means of numerical modelling. Finally, it was concluded that the recommended stabilization technique was essential for the dynamic long-term stability and prevents the effects of failure. Additionally, the FEM method gives useful and reasonably reliable results in evaluating the stability of cut slopes and tunnels excavated both in continuous and discontinuous rock masses.

Design and Wind Tunnel Study of a Top-mounted Diverterless Inlet

Combined with a UAV of the shape like Global Hawk, a new inlet is advanced to obtain high performance in both Radar Cross Section(RCS) and aerodynamic drag. Efforts are made to achieve this goal such as adopting a top-mounted inlet configuration, utilizing the diverterless technique and putting forward a new shape of entrance. A design method is brought forward and verified by wind tunnel tests. Results indicate: (1) Despite the negative effect of the front fuselage and the absence of the conventional boundary diverter, the performance of the top-mounted diverterless inlet advanced here(Ma:0.50-0.70, α:-4°-6°,σ>0.975) is equivalent to that of conventional S shaped inlet with diverter; (2) The integration of the inlet with the fuselage is realized by the utilization of a special inlet section and the diverterless technique, which disposes the whole inlet in the shield of the head of UAV, improving the drag characteristics and the stealthy performance of the aircraft; (3) The bump which is equal to the local boundary layer thickness in height can divert the boundary layer effectively. As a result, no obvious low total pressure zone is found at the outlet of the inlet; (4) According to the experimental results, negative angle of attack is favorable to the total pressure recovery and positive angle of attack is favorable to the total pressure distortion, while yaw brings bad effects on both; (5) The design of cowl lip is of great importance to the inlet performance at yaw, therefore, further improvement of the inlet performance will rely on the lip shapes of the cowl chosen.

Research on the stability analysis and design of soil tunnel surrounding rock

The paper first analyzes the failure mechanism and mode of tunnel according to model experiments and mechanical calculation and then discusses the deficiency of taking the limit value of displacement around the tunnel and the size of the plastic zone of surrounding rock as the criterion of stability. So the writers put forward the idea that the safety factor of surrounding rock calculated through strength reduction FEM(finit element method) should be regarded as the criterion of stability,which has strict mechanical basis and unified standard and would not be influenced by other factors. The paper also studies the safety factors of tunnel surrounding rock (safety factors of shear and tension failure) and lining and some methods of designing and calculating tunnels. At last,the writers take the loess tunnel for instance and show the design and calculation results of two-lane railway tunnel.

Determination of horizontal and vertical design spectra based on ground motion records at Lali tunnel, Iran

Most acceleration diagrams show high levels of unpredictability, as a result, it is the best to avoid using diagrams of earthquake acceleration spect~＇a, even if the diagrams recorded at the site in question. In order to design earthquake resistant structures, we, instead, suggest constructing a design spectrum using a set of spectra that have common characteristics to the recorded acceleration diagrams at a particular site and smoothing the associated data. In this study, we conducted a time history analysis and determined a design spectrum for the region near the Lali tunnel in Southwestern Iran. We selected 13 specific ground motion records from the rock site to construct the design spectrum. To process the data, we first applied a base-line correction and then calculated the signal-to-noise ratio （]~SN） for each record. Next, we calculated the Fourier amplitude spectra of the acceleration pertaining to the signal window （1）, and the Fourier amplitude spectra of the associated noise （2）. After dividing each spectra by the square root of the selected window interval, they were divided by each other （1 divided by 2）, in order to obtain the ~SN ratio （filtering was also applied）. In addition, all data were normalized to the peak ground acceleration （PGA）. Next, the normalized vertical and horizontal responses and mean response spectrum （50%） and the mean plus-one standard deviation （84%） were calculated for all the selected ground motion records at 5% damping. Finally, the mean design spectrum and the mean plus-one standard deviation were plotted for the spectrums. The equation of the mean and the above-mean design spectrum at the Lali tunnel site are also provided, along with our observed conclusions.

针对川西高海拔隧道抗防冻设计问题,对运营期公路隧道洞内气温采用实测和数值模拟等方法,对隧道洞内纵向温度特征及抗防冻设计方法进行研究。结果表明:1)川西高原较短隧道冬季洞内纵向温度呈负温贯通状态,长隧道、特长隧道的洞内纵向温度呈现出弱对称或非对称分布特征。2)冬季隧道洞口温度及洞身负温分布状态与隧道自身所处环境有关,尤其是隧道两端地形特征及高差程度。3)洞口负温段冻结指数和年冻结天数均随进洞距离的增大呈减小趋势,但单向自然风占主导的隧道下降趋势较缓。4)川西高原隧道衬砌防冻设计宜结合围岩冻胀敏感性,考虑以冻结指数180℃·d为临界值较为合理,两侧水沟保温设防长度可按月平均气温0℃考虑;考虑到冻结指数大于180℃·d且月平均气温低于0℃的衬砌段落会经受短时频繁冻融循环作用的影响,建议采取必要措施改善混凝土耐久性指标,确保隧道衬砌结构的长期稳定性。

基于壳单元的盾构隧道参数化结构计算与验证

三维壳单元较二维梁单元能更精细地模拟管片结构受土体作用下的力学行为。为了推广三维壳单元隧道结构计算模型在大直径盾构隧道结构计算中的应用,提出基于壳单元的参数化隧道结构建模方法(Shell element-based Parametric Tunnel Structure Modeling,SPTSM)。SPTSM基于隧道中轴线及截面半径参数,能自动生成由壳单元所组成的隧道模型。在模型中,相邻环之间的壳单元公共边被定义成线性铰,以此模拟管片环缝间的接头刚度;管片纵缝间的接头刚度通过均质圆环法引入折减系数进行替代;壳单元节点被施加荷载压力、地层弹簧及约束支座,以模拟管片结构与围岩之间的力学行为。SPTSM提供了结构自动建模算法和壳单元节点荷载的自动计算算法,并通过调用Karamba3D有限元结构计算内核,实现盾构隧道结构的建模−计算一体化。将SPTSM应用于杭州某大直径盾构隧道工程76 m区间段,对比结构变形的计算和实际检测结果,验证SPTSM的合理性。SPTSM能自动建立精细的三维壳单元盾构隧道结构模型,并同时完成荷载压力、地层弹簧、线性−铰刚度以及约束支座的布置和设定。对比点云扫描的结构位移检测结果和SPTSM计算出的结构变形结果,SPTSM输出的结构变形云图属于合理范围,结合SPTSM输出的内力云图和荷载分布云图,SPTSM可以近似反映隧道结构局部位置的变形或位移趋势。综上,SPTSM可为盾构隧道的智能化结构设计提供有力支撑。

考虑锚杆预应力作用下隧道围岩力学分析及参数设计

隧道工程中锚杆设计多依靠经验法和类比法,为研究预应力锚杆支护体系下围岩的力学效应,建立预应力锚杆与围岩力学耦合模型,考虑围岩开挖损伤效应,通过弹塑性力学理论推导出隧道开挖后围岩应力分布及径向位移解析表达式,采用有限差分软件FLAC3D进行算例验证并分析预应力锚杆参数对围岩状态的影响。研究结果表明:理论解析和数值模拟中最大切向应力和围岩塑性区半径分别为4.77 MPa、15 m和4.49 MPa、15.86 m,理论解析与数值模拟所计算隧道围岩应力分布、位移基本一致,在Ⅳ、Ⅴ级围岩地层中验证了理论解析解的合理性;随着预紧力增大,处于塑性区的围岩径向位移及塑性区半径逐渐减小,弹性区基本不受影响;当锚杆自由段长度位于塑性区时,随着锚杆长度增加,围岩塑性区径向位移及塑性区半径逐渐减小。在实际工程中应尽量增大锚杆预紧力,锚杆长度增加对围岩位移以及塑性区的发展控制效果有限,应控制锚杆自由段长度在塑性区内。
