Evaluation and prediction of earth pressure balance shield performance in complex rock strata:A case study in Dalian,China

This research explores the potential for the evaluation and prediction of earth pressure balance shield performance based on a gray system model.The research focuses on a shield tunnel excavated for Metro Line 2 in Dalian,China.Due to the large error between the initial geological exploration data and real strata,the project construction is extremely difficult.In view of the current situation regarding the project,a quantitative method for evaluating the tunneling efficiency was proposed using cutterhead rotation(R),advance speed(S),total thrust(F)and torque(T).A total of 80 datasets with three input parameters and one output variable(F or T)were collected from this project,and a prediction framework based gray system model was established.Based on the prediction model,five prediction schemes were set up.Through error analysis,the optimal prediction scheme was obtained from the five schemes.The parametric investigation performed indicates that the relationships between F and the three input variables in the gray system model harmonize with the theoretical explanation.The case shows that the shield tunneling performance and efficiency are improved by the tunneling parameter prediction model based on the gray system model.

Investigation on fracture models and ground pressure distribution of thick hard rock strata including weak interlayer

Dynamic disasters,such as rock burst due to the breaking of large area stiff roof strata,are known to occur in the hard rock strata of coal mines.In this paper,mechanical models of the fracturing processes of thick hard rock strata were established based on the thick plate theory and numerical simulations.The results demonstrated that,based on the fracture characteristics of the thick hard rock strata,four fracture models could be analyzed in detail,and the corresponding theoretical failure criteria were determined in detail.In addition,the influence of weak interlayer position on the fracture models and ground pressure of rock strata is deeply analyzed,and six numerical simulation schemes have been implemented.The results showed that the working face pressure caused by the independent movement of the lower layer is relatively low.The different fracture type of the thick hard rock strata had different demands on the working resistance of the hydraulic powered supports.The working resistance of the hydraulic powered supports required by the stratified movements was lower than that of the non-stratified movements.

Time-dependent safety of lining structures of circular tunnels in weak rock strata

Following tunnel excavation and lining completion,fractured surrounding rock deforms gradually over time;this results in a time-dependent evolution of the pressure applied to the lining structure by the surrounding rock.Thus,the safety of the tunnel lining in weak strata is strongly correlated with time.In this study,we developed an analytical method for determining the time-dependent pressure in the surrounding rock and lining structure of a circular tunnel under a hydrostatic stress field.Under the proposed method,the stress–strain relationship of the fractured surrounding rock is assumed to conform to that of the Burgers viscoelastic component,and the lining structure is assumed to be an elastomer.Based on these assumptions,the viscoelastic deformation of the surrounding rock,the elastic deformation of the lining structure,and the coordinated deformation between the surrounding rock and lining structure were derived.The proposed analytical method,which employs a time-dependent safety coefficient,was subsequently used to estimate the durability of the lining structure of the Foling Tunnel in China.The derived attenuation curve of the safety coefficient with respect to time can assist engineers in predicting the remaining viable life of the lining structure.Unlike existing analytical methods,the method derived in this study considers the time dependency of the interaction between the surrounding rock and tunnel lining;hence,it is more suitable for the evaluation of lining lifetime.

RESEARCH ON THE SEROSITY DURING INJECTING CLAY GROUTS INTO THE OVERLYING ROCK STRATA

On the basis of the mechanism study of injecting clay grouts into overlying strata, the clay grouts are researched in greater detail from three aspects. The flowing state of clay grouts in the strata——the pattern of different direction flowing around a point source is advanced and the flowing equation is put forward which is correspond with experiment result, and the corresponding mechanical model is set up which has its formulistic study, and the function of clay grouts is also discussed after the water in it has been lost, at the same time the concept of similar rock in effective supporting zone is given. It would draw great positive inspiration from what studied in this paper for studying on drawing down the surface subsidence by injecting.

Experimental investigation on behaviors of bolt-supported rock strata surrounding an entry in large dip coal seam

In order to investigate the behaviors and stability of rock strata surrounding an entry with bolt supporting in large dip coal seams (LDCSs) dipping from 25° to 45°, a self-developed rotatable experimental frame for similar material simulation test was used to build the model with the dip of 30°, based on analyses of geological and technological conditions in Huainan mine area, Anhui, China. The strata behaviors, such as extracting- and mining-induced stresses development, deformation and failure modes, were synthetically integrated during working face advancing. Results show that the development characteristics of mining-induced stress and deformation are asymmetrical in the roadway. The strata behaviors are totally different in different sections of the roadway. Because of asymmetrically geometrical structure influenced by increasing dip, strata dislocating, rock falling and breaking occur in roof. Then, squeezing, collapsing and caving of coal happen in upper- and lower-rib due to shearing action caused by asymmetrical roof bending and dislocating. Owing to the absence of supporting, floor heaving is very violent and usually the zone of floor heaving develops from the lower-rib to upper-rib. Engineering practices show that, due to the asymmetrical characteristics of rock pressure and roadway configuration, it is more difficult to implement bolt supporting system to control rock stability of roadways in LDCSs. The upper-rib and roof of entries are the key sections. Consequently, it is reliable to use asymmetrical bolt-mesh-cable supporting system to control rock stability of roadways based on the asymmetrical characteristics of roadway configuration and strata behaviors.

冲击载荷下叠合岩层巷道围岩的应力演化数值模拟研究——基于岩层运动并行计算系统StrataKing

煤系地层属于典型的层状沉积岩层,这在传统连续介质模型中不能被较好反映。为了探究冲击载荷下叠合岩层巷道围岩的应力演化规律,采用以拉格朗日元与离散元耦合连续-非连续方法为基础发展的岩层运动并行计算系统StrataKing,基于理想化模型分析了巷道上表面附近应力波的叠加。阐明了应力波叠加导致顶板开裂机理,并且探讨了冲击载荷幅值的影响规律。研究发现:在原始压应力波传至巷道上表面附近测点后,该测点的最大主应力刚开始呈下降-上升-下降的变化趋势,这是由原始压、拉应力波不同时刻的叠加不同导致的;由于次级应力波的波长较原始应力波的小,次级压、拉应力波的单独作用更明显,它们的叠加使巷道上表面附近测点能产生更低和更高的最大主应力,甚至导致顶板开裂;冲击载荷幅值越大,近似阶梯增长阶段中拉裂纹平均发展速度越快,巷道围岩最终开裂范围越大,巷道围岩平衡越困难。

Mechanism of rock burst caused by fracture of key strata during irregular working face mining and its prevention methods

To study the occurrence mechanism of rock burst during mining the irregular working face,the study took irregular panel 7447 near fault tectonic as an engineering background.The spatial fracture characteristic of overlying strata was analyzed by Winkler elastic foundation beam theory.Furthermore,the influence law of panel width to suspended width and limit breaking span of key strata were also analyzed by thin plate theory.Through micro-seismic monitoring,theoretical analysis,numerical simulation and working resistance of support of field measurement,this study investigated the fracture characteristic of overlying strata and mechanism of rock burst in irregular working face.The results show that the fracture characteristic of overlying strata shows a spatial trapezoid structure,with the main roof being as an undersurface.The fracture form changes from vertical‘‘O-X"type to transverse‘‘O-X"type with the increase of trapezoidal height.From the narrow mining face to the wide mining face,the suspended width of key strata is greater than its limit breaking width,and a strong dynamic load is produced by the fracture of key strata.The numerical simulation and micro-seismic monitoring results show that the initial fracture position of key strata is close to tailgate 7447.Also there is a high static load caused by fault tectonic.The dynamic and static combined load induce rock burst.Accordingly,a cooperative control technology was proposed,which can weaken dynamic load by hard roof directional hydraulic fracture and enhance surrounding rock by supporting system.

Study on the distribution of strata rock temperature around a driving head with auxiliary ventilation

The distributions of strata rock temperature around a driving head with auxil- iary ventilation were analyzed theoretically based on a program which was developed by the authors to predict the thermal environmental conditions in a development heading with forcing auxiliary ventilation. The influences of wetness of the airway surface were dis- cussed on the cooled zone of the strata rock and on the temperature distribution in the surrounding rock. It is shown that the advancing speed and driving time have little influ- ence on the temperature profile in front of the working face of a driving airway, and the rock temperature 1.5 m ahead of the working face can be taken as the virgin rock tem- perature.

Rock Pressure on Tunnel with Shallow Depth in Geologically Inclined Bedding Strata

The method to calculate rock pressure to which the lining structure of tunnel with shallow depth is subjected in geologically inclined bedding strata is analyzed and put forward. Both the inclination angle of bedding strata as well as the internal friction angle of bedding plane and its cohesion all exert an influence upon the magnitude of the asymmetric rock pressure applied to tunnel. The feature that rock pressure applied to tunnel structure varies with the incUnation angle of bedding strata is discussed, At last, the safety factor, which is utilized to evaluate the working state of tunnel lining structure, is calculated for both symmetric and asymmetric lining structures. The calculation results elucidate that the asymmetric tunnel structure can be more superior to bear rock pressure in comparison with the symmetric one and should be adopted in engineering as far as possible.

为实现低瓦斯高涌出矿井综放工作面安全高效开采,以王家岭煤矿为背景,结合物理相似模拟实验、UDEC数值模拟和微震监测,系统分析了王家岭煤矿综放工作面上覆岩层运动规律,在此基础上,开展了现场卸压区瓦斯抽采试验。研究结果表明:随工作面推进,煤层顶板上覆岩层垮落高度距煤层底板距离增大,离层裂隙距顶板距离增大,空洞高度减小;采空区两侧瓦斯运移通道的裂隙多于压实区的裂隙。初次来压前,采空区垂直应力随工作面的推进而降低;初次来压后,采空区垂直应力随工作面的推进而增大。在进、回风巷顶板,煤层、采空区顶底板共发生2 572个微震事件,工作面前方50 m范围内应力集中较大,应注意超前支护防范。12301工作面周期来压步距20~26 m,采动裂缝带高度90~110 m,周期来压4~6次。现场卸压区瓦斯抽采试验中,合理层位工作面瓦斯抽采量是其他层位工作面瓦斯抽采量的1.5倍,且工作面上隅角和回风流瓦斯浓度均小于0.8%,瓦斯治理效果显著。

非均厚“弓形”巨厚关键层动静载作用机制

巨厚关键层破裂运动是诱发矿山动力灾害的重要因素,探究其厚度变化对采动应力分布及破裂动载的影响,对明确巨厚关键层采场动、静载来源及冲击矿压孕育机制具有重要意义,是冲击矿压风险预测及灾害防控的理论基础。以陕西彬长矿区某矿非均厚“弓形”巨厚关键层为研究对象,综合理论分析与数值仿真计算,剖析了巨厚关键层“弓形”形态下伏煤岩体采动应力异常集中的力学原理,探明了“弓形”形态对巨厚关键层破裂特征的影响规律,揭示了“弓形”形态下伏区域动静载叠加致灾机制,据此提出了“弓形”巨厚关键层破裂致灾风险预测方法。结果表明,“弓形”巨厚关键层底部凸起导致下伏煤岩体垂直应力异常集中,相较于均匀厚度巨厚关键层,该区域煤岩体垂直应力额外增加22.1 MPa,增幅比例高达56%,此为下伏煤岩体高静载形成的根本原因。同时,伴随着开采范围的扩大以及非均厚“弓形”巨厚关键层运动,造成其底部内凹拐角区出现显著的高应力集中现象,导致该区域岩石发生破裂及弹性能快速释放,此为强动载形成主要原因。在上述非均厚“弓形”巨厚关键层动静载叠加作用下,煤柱大巷区域极易出现冲击矿压。基于此,准确识别并定位了非均厚“弓形”巨厚关键层影响下采动覆岩动载形成来源及发生区位,结合巨厚关键层分布式光纤原位监测结果,以光纤断裂高度为监测指标,验证了巨厚关键层破裂及动载荷形成之间的内在联系。

结构瞬变影响下采场煤岩静态力学响应的阶变规律

为了明确采场煤岩力学响应的演变规律,以宽沟煤矿W1143长壁综采工作面为工程背景,采用物理相似模拟实验和数值计算相结合的方法,在明确来压前、后覆岩空间结构瞬变特征的基础之上,建立了一种实现坚硬岩层瞬时破断的数值模拟前处理方法,研究了结构瞬变影响下采场煤岩静态力学响应的阶变规律。结果表明:覆岩空间结构是由破裂面以外、采动影响范围以内不同岩性的岩层所组成的空间岩体结构,是其影响范围内的采场煤岩产生不同力学响应的内因。来压期间,由于坚硬岩层的破断具有瞬时性,导致覆岩空间结构发生瞬变,受此影响,采场煤岩的静态力学响应发生阶变,其本质上为一动力学过程。覆岩空间结构瞬变造成采场煤岩的应力场与位移场产生阶变,阶变集中于瞬变区域附近,距离瞬变区域越远,其阶变量越小。

为研究坚硬岩层破断对回采工作面的影响,以同忻煤矿8105工作面坚硬顶板为工程背景,利用破裂线理论,得到了极限荷载破坏公式;为探究坚硬岩层失稳破断对工作面的影响,借助薄板理论,建立坚硬岩层结构模型,结合坚硬岩层失稳模式,给出了坚硬岩层失稳判据,分别为坚硬岩层初次失稳尺度及周期失稳计算公式;根据8105工作面综合柱状及物理力学参数,通过坚硬岩层协同变形载荷计算公式、坚硬岩层初次失稳计算公式等,确定低、中、高坚硬岩层层位及坚硬岩层破断尺度。结果显示:低、中、高位坚硬岩层初次失稳尺度分别为35.4 m、74.9 m、122.1 m,周期失稳尺度分别为13.5 m、63 m、109.9 m。通过理论计算坚硬岩层破断尺度发现:高位坚硬岩层失稳尺度最大,而低位和中位坚硬岩层失稳尺度接近一致。因此,高位坚硬岩层破断对工作面开采影响最大;8105工作面上覆岩层失稳破断对微震事件具有一定的影响。通过微震数据统计可知:坚硬岩层随着工作面的开采逐步发生失稳破断,不同坚硬岩层之间易发生耦合作用,形成复合矿压。坚硬岩层失稳判据的理论计算与实际硬岩破断尺度对比发现,高位坚硬岩层的预测准确率最高。

Stability of High Slope Interbedded Strata with Low Dip Angle Constituted by Soft and Hard Rock Mass

Slopes consisting of interbedded strata of soft and hard rock mass, such as purplish red mudstone and grey brown arkosic sandstone of Jurassic age, are very common in Sichuan basin of China. The mudstone is soft while the sandstone is hard and contains many opening or closing joints with a high dip angle. Some are nearly parallel and the others are nearly decussated with the trend of the slopes. Many natural slopes are in deformation or sliding because of those reasons. The stability of cutting slopes and supporting method to be taken for their stability in civil engineering are important. In this paper, the stability and deformation of the slopes are studied. The methods of analysis and support design principle are analyzed also. Finally, the method put forward is applied to study Fengdian high cutting slope in Sichuan section of the express way from Chengdu to Shanghai. The results indicate that the method is effective.

淤泥-岩石地层爆破临近给水管道振动特征

盾构机通过淤泥-岩石地层时,可以在地面钻孔预先爆破破碎岩石,但是淤泥-岩石地层爆破产生的振动威胁爆区周围供水管道的安全。通过对爆破振动进行现场测试和数值模拟,首先验证爆破现场材料的物理和力学参数,然后研究了爆区附近供水管道的动态响应。得出如下结论:在管道轴向上,节点峰值速度(PPV)随着距爆炸源水平距离的增加而减小;在管道正上方地表沿管道轴向,节点峰值速度也随着距爆炸源水平距离的增加而减小;管道上节点峰值速度与管道上方地面的节点峰值速度之间存在函数关系。管道内壁最大PPV是最小PPV的3.97倍,管道内壁90°处的节点峰值速度最高,管道外壁最大PPV是最小PPV的1.03倍,管道外壁150°处的节点峰值速度最高,每个节点的PPV彼此不同,给水管道内壁PPV大于外壁,内壁PPV变化较大,但外壁PPV相对接近。单元的最大峰值有效应力是单元的最小峰值有效应力的4.06倍,在管道外壁240°~270°处单元的峰值有效应力最高。本研究的结论可以为确定爆区周围供水管道的安全性提供参考。
