Prediction of subsurface settlement induced by shield tunnelling in sandy cobble stratum

This study focuses on the analytical prediction of subsurface settlement induced by shield tunnelling in sandy cobble stratum considering the volumetric deformation modes of the soil above the tunnel crown.A series of numerical analyses is performed to examine the effects of cover depth ratio(C/D),tunnel volume loss rate(h t)and volumetric block proportion(VBP)on the characteristics of subsurface settle-ment trough and soil volume loss.Considering the ground loss variation with depth,three modes are deduced from the volumetric deformation responses of the soil above the tunnel crown.Then,analytical solutions to predict subsurface settlement for each mode are presented using stochastic medium theory.The influences of C/D,h t and VBP on the key parameters(i.e.B and N)in the analytical expressions are discussed to determine the fitting formulae of B and N.Finally,the proposed analytical solutions are validated by the comparisons with the results of model test and numerical simulation.Results show that the fitting formulae provide a convenient and reliable way to evaluate the key parameters.Besides,the analytical solutions are reasonable and available in predicting the subsurface settlement induced by shield tunnelling in sandy cobble stratum.

Physical and numerical investigations of target stratum selection for ground hydraulic fracturing of multiple hard roofs

Ground hydraulic fracturing plays a crucial role in controlling the far-field hard roof,making it imperative to identify the most suitable target stratum for effective control.Physical experiments are conducted based on engineering properties to simulate the gradual collapse of the roof during longwall top coal caving(LTCC).A numerical model is established using the material point method(MPM)and the strain-softening damage constitutive model according to the structure of the physical model.Numerical simulations are conducted to analyze the LTCC process under different hard roofs for ground hydraulic fracturing.The results show that ground hydraulic fracturing releases the energy and stress of the target stratum,resulting in a substantial lag in the fracturing of the overburden before collapse occurs in the hydraulic fracturing stratum.Ground hydraulic fracturing of a low hard roof reduces the lag effect of hydraulic fractures,dissipates the energy consumed by the fracture of the hard roof,and reduces the abutment stress.Therefore,it is advisable to prioritize the selection of the lower hard roof as the target stratum.

Deformation Mechanism and Design Countermeasures of Tunnel Portal in Volcanic Deposit Clay Stratum

Shortly after tunneling,problems such as primary-support through cracks and clearance infringement are found in the shallow-buried section of tunnel No.4 of the Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Railway(Jakarta-Bandung HSR),and orthogonal cracks can be found on the earth surface in front of the working face,which brings great challenges to the tunnel construction.In view of the above engineering problems,the sliding surface is speculated according to the geological and field conditions,and the impact of landslides is applied in the model in the form of external load.The paper uses the numerical simulation method to analyze and compare the impact of landslides on the tunnel structure and deformation,and puts forward the reinforcement measures.The conclusions of the studies are:(1)under the influence of heavy rainfall,the strength index of volcanic deposit clay stratum drops sharply,and meanwhile the multiple factors including tunnel excavation are liable to cause sliding of the front slope;(2)parallel landslide in front of the tunnel has a great impact on the tunnel,so setting-up of pre-reinforcement measures to control landslide shall be the focus of similar projects during design;(3)the deformation and stress of the tunnel structure can be significantly controlled for safe construction by strengthening the shallow-buried tunnel with pile foundation and longitudinal and transverse beam frames during landslide.

A method for predicting the water-flowing fractured zone height based on an improved key stratum theory

In the process of using the original key stratum theory to predict the height of a water-flowing fractured zone(WFZ),the influence of rock strata outside the calculation range on the rock strata within the calculation range as well as the fact that the shape of the overburden deformation area will change with the excavation length are ignored.In this paper,an improved key stratum theory(IKS theory)was proposed by fixing these two shortcomings.Then,a WFZ height prediction method based on IKS theory was established and applied.First,the range of overburden involved in the analysis was determined according to the tensile stress distribution range above the goaf.Second,the key stratum in the overburden involved in the analysis was identified through IKS theory.Finally,the tendency of the WFZ to develop upward was determined by judging whether or not the identified key stratum will break.The proposed method was applied and verified in a mining case study,and the reasons for the differences in the development patterns between the WFZs in coalfields in Northwest and East China were also fully explained by this method.

Study on the disaster caused by the linkage failure of the residual coal pillar and rock stratum during multiple coal seam mining:mechanism of progressive and dynamic failure

Multi-seam mining often leads to the retention of a significant number of coal pillars for purposes such as protection,safety,or water isolation.However,stress concentration beneath these residual coal pillars can significantly impact their strength and stability when mining below them,potentially leading to hydraulic support failure,surface subsidence,and rock bursting.To address this issue,the linkage between the failure and instability of residual coal pillars and rock strata during multi-seam mining is examined in this study.Key controls include residual pillar spalling,safety factor(f.),local mine stiffness(LMS),and the post-peak stiffness(k)of the residual coal pillar.Limits separating the two forms of failure,progressive versus dynamic,are defined.Progressive failure results at lower stresses when the coal pillar transitions from indefinitely stable(f,>1.5)to failing(f,<1.5)when the coal pillar can no longer remain stable for an extended duration,whereas sud-den(unstable)failure results when the strength of the pillar is further degraded and fails.The transition in mode of failure is defined by the LMS/k ratio.Failure transitions from quiescent to dynamic as LMS/k.<1,which can cause chain pillar instability propagating throughout the mine.This study provides theoretical guidance to define this limit to instability of residual coal pillars for multi-seam mining in similar mines.

砂卵石地层矿山法隧道长管棚支护机理及应用

研究目的:砂卵石地层由于卵石强度高且颗粒分布无序,因此长管棚施工地层扰动大且支护效果难以保证,已成为制约隧道实际应用的一大瓶颈。本文以某轨道交通暗挖法车站为依托工程,采用理论分析、现场测试与数值模拟相结合的方法,对不同直径、不同环向间距条件下长管棚的支护效果进行了深入研究,以期揭示砂卵石地层矿山法隧道长管棚支护机理,提出最佳支护参数。研究结论:(1)砂卵石地层,暗挖隧道管棚超前支护条件下,地层沉降变形在向地表传递过程中,沿高度方向的折减率约为0.91 mm/m;(2)管棚超前支护效果对矿山法隧道工程安全具有决定性作用,须采取措施减小管棚施工扰动及相应地层变形;(3)根据单因素敏感性分析结果,地表沉降随管棚支护长度的增加而增大,随管棚环向间距的增大而增加,且基本呈正相关;(4)为有效控制地表沉降并提高工程经济效益,建议直径127 mm管棚环向间距宜为35 cm,支护长度宜为40 m;直径159 mm管棚建议环向间距宜为40 cm,支护长度宜为40 m;直径209 mm管棚建议环向间距宜为45 cm,支护长度宜为50 m;管棚直径与其最佳打设长度正相关;(5)本研究结论可为砂卵石地层矿山法隧道支护措施提供借鉴与参考。

软土地层双洞口顶管接收井下沉力学特性研究

相较于常规沉井,顶管接收井几何形式的差异对结构受力、变形的影响规律尚不明确,亟待对此展开深入研究。以武汉市某排水顶管工程矩形接收井为依托,对沉井结构受力及下沉姿态开展现场监测,并利用数值模拟进行了对比验证和拓展研究。结果表明:预设顶管接收洞口引起的结构局部刚度降低,会导致结构在初沉阶段受弯效应增强,从而使接收洞口附近的内层钢筋压应力减小并使钢筋转向受拉状态,并且在下沉后期加剧该处钢筋应力变化幅度;因沉井外壁摩阻力增大而产生的附加应力叠加弯矩作用,使结构内、外层纵向钢筋沿井壁厚度方向的内力分布不均。对软土地层进行土体加固,有利于提高顶管接收井结构稳定性和顶管机头接收精度。

地热井砂岩热储回灌堵塞机理及解堵研究

地热井回灌是制约水热型地热持续开发的“卡脖子”难题,特别是砂岩热储的回灌更为艰难。为揭示制约砂岩热储回灌过程中面临的堵塞难题,以陕西关中渭河盆地某“一采一灌”模式砂岩地热井为例开展试验研究,探究砂岩热储回灌过程中的4类堵塞机理,并提出相应解堵措施。结果表明:碳酸盐类、部分铝硅酸盐类和铁类矿物沉淀受温度影响较大,地层温度的升高会加速其化学堵塞的形成;随温度的上升,悬浮物堵塞和化学堵塞会构成协同效应。同时悬浮物颗粒布朗运动速度也因温度上升而增大,使堵塞更严重;回灌产生气体堵塞的原因主要是:大体积气泡进入储层内部难、气泡直径与底层喉道大小相当;腐生菌和铁细菌是成微生物堵塞的主要微生物。通过加入阻垢剂可有效防止化学堵塞,采取多级过滤可减缓物理堵塞,在回灌系统中加入自动排气装置可防止气体堵塞,对尾水进行灭菌处理降低微生物堵塞风险。经过现场回暖季试验,采取的解堵措施应用于目标地热井后的回灌率达100%,降低了回灌过程中可能发生的堵塞对回灌带来的不良影响。

[目的]现有土压力理论计算方法未考虑卵石地层孔隙度大、结构松散等离散性特点,计算结果与实际土压力有所偏差,需要研究适用于成都地区卵石地层的土压力计算方法。[方法]以成都轨道交通7号线为依托,分析卵石地层深基坑土压力与朗肯土压力理论值的差别,并建立深基坑开挖土压力计算方法。采用离散元数值模拟和数据统计分析,获取围护结构平动、围护结构绕墙顶转动和围护结构绕墙底转动三种基本变位模式下静止土压力、被动土压力和主动土压力的分布特征。与朗肯土压力理论计算结果进行比较,得到不同变位模式下三种土压力的修正系数,并建立深基坑土压力修正计算方法。进一步与现场实测数据比较,对比验证所提出的土压力计算方法。[结果及结论]主动土压力和被动土压力分布形式具有强烈的非线性,可采用双折线进行描述,交点分别位于埋深8 m和9 m处。静止土压力修正系数分布在0.91~0.96之间,在使用时不需要修正;主动土压力修正系数分布在0.33~0.78之间,被动土压力修正系数分布在0.52~0.91之间,在使用时应予以修正。所提出的卵石地层深基坑土压力计算结果与现场实测结果吻合较好,可为类似轨道交通工程提供参考。

富水砂层地铁盾构区间机械法联络通道施工影响

[目的]目前,富水砂层地铁盾构区间机械法联络通道施工对正线隧道及周围土体影响的研究较少,因此有必要对类似工程进行分析。[方法]以某富水砂层地铁盾构区间机械法联络通道施工项目为例,采用ABAQUS有限元软件建立数值模型,对富水砂层中机械法联络通道施工的全过程进行模拟分析,研究机械法联络通道施工对正线隧道及周围土体的影响;将数值计算结果与实际工程监测数据进行对比,验证所提数值模型的可靠性。[结果及结论]由机械法联络通道施工引起的沿正线隧道纵向和联络通道纵向的地面沉降曲线均呈U形,地面最大沉降值为4.60 mm;机械法联络通道施工对正线隧道的变形影响,以竖向变形和沿正线隧道横向的水平变形为主,正线隧道竖向变形最大值为1.08 mm,水平变形最大值为1.28 mm;施工过程中,正线隧道的最大应力会随着联络通道洞门的破除而突然增大,施工完成时,正线隧道的最大应力值为52.54 MPa。实际监测数据表明,拟合后的地面沉降监测数据与数值计算结果的变化趋势一致,验证了数值计算的可靠性。

地下水位变化对砂土地层地铁隧道沉降影响试验研究

为考察地铁运营后列车载荷和地下水对隧道造成的影响,对某砂性土地层城市中某一地铁盾构隧道区段运营6年间的沉降变形进行实测观察;根据实测所得沉降规律,设计并开展缩尺模型试验,研究车致振动条件下因地下水位变化产生的隧道沉降规律。结果表明:随着时间推移,隧道各测点所得数据呈现一定的周期性上升与下降变化趋势,前2年隧道总体上浮,之后略有沉降,第3年后虽有波动但基本未发生进一步沉降,第6年后隧道最大沉降不超过3 mm;砂性土地层中,地下水位变化会造成重塑土层内部应力变化,且振动荷载会导致土体颗粒结构重新调整至密实,易导致隧道发生沉降,因此不能忽视地铁周围施工降水给隧道带来的不利影响;土体振密及因地下水产生的浮力共同作用,导致隧道的上浮及沉降。相比于软土地层,砂性土地层中盾构隧道的沉降速率明显更低且沉降基本稳定时间更短,2种地层下的沉降规律、影响因素完全不同,各地层下的沉降分析理论亦无法相互适用。
