富水断层隧道高位排水工法及其作用效果研究

大相岭隧道富水断层区段极易引起突水、突泥现象,具有很大施工风险,高位排水能够有效降低掌子面前方高水压力积聚程度。基于现场实测和动态流-固耦合数值力学方法,研究不同水位条件下高位排水工法与隧道稳定性之间关系,提出最优高位排水管分布方案。研究得出：大相岭隧道F6断层水压最高达到1.98 MPa,排水后可实现安全施工,衬砌背后水压降低至10 m左右,因此,防涌突水主要集中在掌子面开挖期;拱顶排水管排水量最大,越靠近拱脚的位置排水能力越差,从拱顶到拱脚呈下降趋势,应使拱顶附近排水管密度大于拱脚附近;实际施工中为更快达到均匀降水效果,应先对拱顶部位打设排水管,后对拱脚部位打设排水管;研究了排水管根数、排水量及掌子面挤出变形相互关系,从经济性和疏水加固效果出发,提出了排水管合理布置方法及建议参数,对富水断层隧道掌子面防突与塌方及运营隧道结构设计具有重要参考价值。     

复杂条件下隧道支护结构稳定性分析

以方斗山隧道为研究对象,建立三维有限元数值分析模型,模拟分析了隧道支护结构的稳定性。以距离隧道洞口10 m处断面支护结构为例,分析了该断面初次支护和二次衬砌的水平应力、竖向应力、竖向位移、锚杆轴力及支护结构破坏域等随掌子面推进的变化规律,并对该断面支护结构特征点的稳定性进行追踪研究。研究结果表明,当掌子面与断面间距离小于30 m左右时,随着掌子面的推进,支护结构应力及位移等均有一定程度的增长,其后支护结构应力及位移基本收敛,且收敛值均较小,表明支护结构是稳定的。对隧道初次支护应力及锚杆轴力的现场监测结果及数值模拟结果进行对比分析,结果表明,数值模拟与现场监测结果基本一致。     

Radial Deformations Induced by Groundwater Flow on Deep Circular Tunnels

Summary. The magnitude and distribution of ground deformations around a tunnel are often monitored during construction and provide key information about ground-support interaction and ground behavior. Thus it is important to determine the effects of different parameters on ground deformations to accurately and effectively evaluate what contributes to ground and support behavior observed during excavation. This paper investigates one such relation: the effects of seepage on radial deformations. A number of numerical analyses have been conducted with the following assumptions: deep circular unsupported tunnel, elastic ground, isotropic far field stresses, dry ground or saturated ground with steady-state water seepage. The analyses cover a wide range of tunnel sizes, effective stresses, and pore pressures. Results from the numerical simulations confirm previous analytical solutions for normalized radial deformations behind the face (i.e. on the tunnel side of the face) of a tunnel excavated in dry ground, and have been used to propose a new analytical formulation for normalized radial displacements ahead and behind the tunnel face for both dry and saturated ground with water flow. Water seepage substantially increases the magnitude and distribution of the normalized radial deformations ahead of the face and at the tunnel face, but does not change much the displacement distribution behind the tunnel face.     

考虑盾构掘进速度的隧道掘进面稳定性分析

隧道在低渗透性土壤中掘进,盾构掘进速度的改变将引起作用在掘进面上支护压力的显著变化。考虑盾构掘进速度以及土体的渗透系数的影响,通过伽辽金有限元法推导三维稳态渗流有限元方程,使用FORTRAN代码编制数值分析程序计算稳态地下水流条件下隧道掘进面附近水头分布。维持掘进面稳定极限支护压力由有效支护压力和渗透力共同构成,前者基于土体稳定的极限平衡理论计算结果,后者通过隧道掘进面附近水头分布推导得出。结果发现,低渗透性土层中进行隧道掘进,盾构掘进速度的改变对隧道掘进面附近水头分布产生很大影响,掘进速度的增加将引起作用在隧道掘进面上支护力的显著增加。理论分析结果与实验数据取得较好的一致,验证了该理论与方法的合理性和有效性。

隧道掘进机（TBM）近年来在世界范围内得到了广泛应用,通常通过完全充满压力仓的泥土或泥浆来支护开挖面。但在较差的地层和水力条件下,开挖面失稳时有发生。事实上,TBM开挖面的支护压力的大小直接决定了施工安全及地表变形。基于所建立的开挖面支护压力计算模型,并考虑复合地层下土体分层带来的影响,通过计算机编程方法,建立了界面友好、使用便捷的开挖面支护压力可视化计算平台(TBM Studio);并结合阿拉斯加隧道、钱江隧道工程实例进行了不同模型结果的验证分析,给出了各模型计算结果的差异性;讨论了软土复合地层条件下,土体自稳性对开挖面稳定的影响,认为软土地层中定量确定有效支护压力和水头高度至关重要,研究为正确评价TBM开挖面稳定性提供了相应的计算模型。     

Progressive degradation of rock properties and time-dependent behavior of deep tunnels

Time-dependent response of deep tunnels is studied considering the progressive degradation of the mechanical properties of the rock mass. The constitutive model is based on a rock-aging law for the uniaxial strength of the rock and for the Young’s modulus. A semi-analytical solution is developed for the stresses and displacements around a deep circular tunnel taking into account the face advance. The evolution of the plastic and damage zones over time is determined. Numerical examples are presented for the case of Saint-Martin-La-Porte access adit in France of the Lyon–Turin Base Tunnel. The computed results which are compared with the field data in terms of the convergence of tunnel wall and of the displacements inside the rock mass monitored by multi-point extensometers show the efficiency of the approach to simulate the time-dependent deformation of a tunnel excavated in squeezing ground. Simple relationships are proposed to evaluate the parameters of the constitutive model directly from those of the empirical convergence law presented in previous work.     

Stresses around Pressure Tunnels with Semi-permeable Liners

Summary. The liner of a pressure tunnel needs to be designed such that it can withstand the loads from the ground, the internal pressure, and minimize the development of significant pore pressures at the liner-ground interface. Pore pressures behind the liner reduce the effective stresses in the ground immediately in contact with the liner and can ultimately produce loss of support from the ground. Deformations and loads of the liner are intimately connected to the interplay that exists between liner, ground, and pore pressures in the ground. A closed-form analytical solution has been derived that accounts for the inter-relation between liner, ground, and pore pressures. Elastic response of the liner and ground, and plane strain conditions at any cross-section of the tunnel are assumed. The solution shows that stresses in the ground depend on the following dimensionless factors: relative stiffness of the ground and liner, ground Poisson’s ratio, surface slope angle, coefficient of earth pressure at rest, relative tunnel depth, and magnitude of the pore pressure behind the liner relative to the internal pressure. The minimum ground effective tangential stresses at the ground-liner interface increase with the relative stiffness of the liner, with the coefficient of earth pressure at rest, and with tunnel depth. They decrease with increasing surface slope angle and pore pressures behind the liner. As leakage through the liner increases, the pore pressures in the ground increase. This results in a decrease of effective radial and tangential stresses in the ground while displacements and loads of the liner are relatively less affected.     

Analytical and Numerical Study of the Mechanics of Rockbolt Reinforcement around Tunnels in Rock Masses

Summary  This paper addresses the problem of quantifying the mechanical contribution of rockbolts installed systematically around tunnels excavated in rock masses. The mechanical contribution referred to here is that of increased stress confinement and decreased tunnel convergences as compared with corresponding stresses and displacements obtained for non-reinforced tunnels. The problem is treated analytically first by presenting a closed-form solution for stress and displacement distributions around a circular tunnel excavated in elastic material and reinforced by grouted or anchored rockbolts. The analytical solution assumes that rockbolts are regularly spaced around the tunnel and that axi-symmetry conditions of geometry and loading apply. The results obtained with the closed-form solution are shown to be equivalent to the results of the same problem solved with traditional numerical methods. Based on the analytical and numerical results and by introducing dimensionless ratios that allow to quantify the increase of radial stresses and the decrease of radial displacements in the reinforced region of the tunnel, the paper shows that reinforcement can have a significant mechanical effect (i.e., increasing the confinement and decreasing the convergences) in tunnels excavated in rock masses of poor to very poor quality. The paper analyzes then the mechanical contribution of rockbolt reinforcement when the rock mass is assumed to behave elasto-plastically. For this case, it is shown that rockbolt reinforcement can also have a critical effect in controlling the extent of the plastic failure zone and the convergences of the tunnel. Correspondence: C.

非均质黏土地基中平面应变隧道最小支护压力数值模拟

土体由于沉积而具有天然的非均质性,但关于非均质地基中隧道开挖面稳定性的研究却很稀少,在实际盾构隧道工程中均按均质地基对待。但这一简化并没有考虑非均质性对保持开挖面稳定所需最小支护压力的有利作用,以及对破坏模式的影响。故文中采用基于tresca准则的弹塑性有限元法来研究黏聚力随深度线性变化的纯黏土地基中平面应变隧道的开挖面稳定性,模拟了土体失稳渐进破坏的全过程。最终验证了无量纲化的有效性,得到了各种工况时保持土体稳定的最小支护压力值,并发现了黏聚力线性变化斜率对深埋隧道破坏模式的影响,可为理论分析和工程实践提供依据。     

管棚力学行为的解析分析与现场测试

管棚超前预支护在隧道上部形成纵向拱效应,从而保证隧道的安全开挖。然而由于模型边界条件的复杂性,目前多局限于从管棚对控制围岩变形和开挖面稳定的整体效果进行研究,无法分析管棚真实的力学行为。对管棚的Winkler弹性地基梁模型进行了改进,并考虑了初期支护的延滞效应,基于Pasternak弹性地基梁理论,推导了管棚的挠度方程和内力计算公式,并提出求解方法。以一隧道开挖为例,通过Pasternak模型和Winkler模型的计算结果与管棚的现场测试数据的对比分析,说明Pasternak模型较Winkler模型与现场测试曲线吻合更好,说明Pasternak模型改进了Winkler模型中地基变形不连续的缺陷,更符合实际受力情况,能较好地反映管棚在隧道开挖过程中的真实力学行为。计算结果表明：管棚起着杠杆作用,能够有效地将开挖面附近的上部荷载向未开挖区传递,从而控制隧道变形,保证开挖面的稳定。     

Face stability analysis of shield-driven tunnels shallowly buried in dry sand using 1-g large-scale model tests

This paper investigates the face stability of shield-driven tunnels shallowly buried in dry sand using 1-g large-scale model tests. A half-circular tunnel model with a rigid front face was designed and tested. The ground movement was mobilized by pulling the tunnel face backwards at different speeds. The support pressure at tunnel face, settlement at ground surface, and internal movement of soil body were measured by load cells, linear variable differential transducers, and a camera, respectively, and the progress of face failure was observed through a transparent lateral wall of model tank. The tests show that, as the tunnel face moves backwards, the support pressure at the tunnel face drops sharply initially, then rebounds slightly, and tends to be stabilized at the end. Similarly, the ground surface settlement shows a three-stage variation pattern. Using the particle image velocimetry technique, the particle movement, shear strain, and vortex location of soil are analyzed. The variation of support pressure and ground surface settlement related to the internal movement of soil particles is discussed. The impact of the tunnel face moving speed on the face stability is discussed. As the tunnel face moves relatively fast, soil failure originates from a height above tunnel invert and an analytical model is developed to analyze such failure.

软弱围岩隧道施工中,常采用超前支护确保隧道施工的安全。为了评价超前支护下隧道稳定性,建立了超前支护作用下截锥体、对数螺旋线共同破坏模型,基于极限分析上限法和综合强度折减法并考虑初期支护未支护段的影响,推导出了隧道稳定安全系数的目标函数,并利用Matlab编制程序求解该函数以此判断隧道稳定性。与模型试验结果和已有理论研究成果对比分析,验证了计算方法的合理性,同时分析了影响隧道稳定安全系数的各个因素。研究结果表明：围岩黏聚力、内摩擦角的增加,掌子面锚杆、拱部超前支护的施作对提高围岩稳定性有显著的作用,而初期支护未支护段长度、开挖高度的增加不利于围岩的稳定;在围岩内摩擦角较小时,分台阶开挖降低开挖高度提高隧道稳定性的效果更好;在围岩内摩擦角较大时,掌子面锚杆加固强度的增加对隧道稳定性提高的作用更显著。最后给出了超前支护的施工设计建议图,可为工程中初步确定超前支护参数和施工方法提供参考。     

A discrete numerical approach for modeling face stability in slurry shield tunnelling in soft soils

In this paper, a numerical simulation method for evaluating tunnelling-induced ground movement is presented. The method involves discrete element simulation of TBM slurry shield advancement and considers explicitly soil excavation from the face, effects of varying face support pressure, and the influence of tunnel cover depth. For the cases studied, it is found that for tunnel cover depths (C/D) between 0.7 and 2.1, ground deformations inducing by the tunnelling can be controlled within a certain extent and tunnel face stability can ensured, provided the support pressure ratio (N) lies between 0.8 and 1.5. The proposed method is reasonably benefited to modeling the face stability in shield-driven tunnels in soft soils.

Face stability analysis of shallow shield tunnels in dry sandy ground using the discrete element method

Controlling the face stability of shallow shield tunnels is difficult due to the inadequate understanding of face failure mechanism. The failure mechanism and the limit support pressure of a tunnel face in dry sandy ground were investigated by using discrete element method (DEM), which has particular advantages for revealing mechanical properties of granular materials. The contact parameters of the dry sand particles were obtained by calibrating the results of laboratory direct shear tests. A series of three-dimensional DEM models for different ratios of the cover depth to the diameter of the tunnel (C/D = 0.5, 1, and 2; i.e., relative depth) were then built to simulated the process of tunnel face failure. The limit support pressure, failure zone and soil arching were discussed and compared with other methods. The results of DEM simulations show that the process of tunnel face failure can be divided into two stages. With the increase of the horizontal displacement of the tunnel face, the support pressure decreases to the limit support pressure and then increases to the residual support pressure. The limit support pressure increases with the rise of relative depth and then tends to be constant. In the process of tunnel face failure, the failure zone is gradually enlarged in size and expands to the ground surface. The numerical results also demonstrate that soil arching occurs in the upper part of the failure zone and the soil becomes loosened in the failure zone. Consequently, the comprehensive analysis of tunnel face failure may help to guarantee safe construction during tunneling.     

Analytical stress and displacement due to twin tunneling in an elastic semi‐infinite ground subjected to surcharge loads

The construction of twin tunnels at shallow depth has become increasingly common in urban areas. In general, twin tunnels are usually near each other, in which the interaction between tunnels is too significant to be ignored on their stability. The equivalent arbitrarily distributed loads imposed on ground surface were considered in this study, and a new analytical approach was provided to efficiently predict the elastic stresses and displacements around the twin tunnels. The interaction between 2 tunnels of different radii with various arrangements was taken into account in the analysis. We used the Schwartz alternating method in this study to reduce the twin‐tunnel problem to a series of problems where only 1 tunnel was contained in half‐plane. The convergent and highly accurate analytical solutions were achieved by superposing the solutions of the reduced single‐tunnel problems. The analytical solutions were then verified by the good agreement between analytical and numerical results. Furthermore, by the comparison on initial plastic zone and surface settlement between analytical solution and numerical/measured results of elastoplastic cases, it was proven that the analytical solution can accurately predict the initial plastic zone and its propagation direction and can qualitatively provide the reliable ground settlements. A parametric study was finally performed to investigate the influence of locations of surcharge load and the tunnel arrangement on the ground stresses and displacements. The new solution proposed in this study provides an insight into the interaction of shallow twin tunnels under surcharge loads, and it can be used as an alternative approach for the preliminary design of future shallow tunnels excavated in rock or medium/stiff clay.     

砂卵石地层土压盾构掘进掌子面稳定性室内试验与三维离散元仿真研究

采用?800 mm模型土压盾构开展室内掘进试验,以探究砂卵石中土压盾构隧道掌子面失稳诱发地层变形特征。同时,补充开展三维离散元仿真以挖掘室内试验难以获取的掌子面失稳信息,并研究隧道埋深对掌子面稳定性的影响规律。研究结果表明：砂卵石地层中盾构隧道掌子面失稳发展到地表后,沉降曲面呈上大下小逐步收缩的沙漏状,影响范围小于砂土地层。考虑盾构动态掘进过程后,卵石颗粒接触关系变化十分剧烈,掌子面稳定性被削弱,极限支护压力随之增大。掌子面极限支护压力随隧道埋深基本呈线性增加,极限支护压力与初始支护压力之比则随埋深增大而减小。掌子面失稳机制可根据隧道埋深划分为3种模式。与既有研究相比,考虑了盾构动态掘进过程与实际工程更加接近,可为确保砂卵石地层土压盾构隧道施工掌子面稳定提供参考。     

Time dependent deformations during tunnelling and stability of tunnel faces in fine-grained soils under groundwater

The measures required for driving a tunnel below the groundwater table depend on the permeability of the soil. In coarse-grained, highly permeable soils additional measures, for example compressed-air support combined with a reduction of the permeability of the soil, e.g. induced by grouting, are necessary. Compared to this, it is possible to do without such measures in fine-grained, cohesive soils because of the increased short-term stability of the tunnel face under undrained conditions. In this publication the results of 3-dimensional finite-element calculations are presented to show the influence of the permeability of the soil and also the rate of the tunnel driving on the deformations around the tunnel as well as on the ground surface. The calculated deformations can furthermore be considered as an indicator for the time dependent stability of the tunnel face due to a higher redistribution of stresses and by that an enlargement of the plasticized zone. Usually the stability of the tunnel face is reduced by the presence of water because of the flow of water towards the tunnel. In low permeable soils undrained conditions prevail immediately after an excavation step. In this case relatively high stability-ratios may occur. The stability of the tunnel face will be reduced with increasing time until reaching the lower boundary of possible values, possibly leading to failure. If calculations are done under the assumption of drained conditions, the real stability of the tunnel face during construction may substantially exceed that of the calculated one. On the other hand, if calculations are done for undrained conditions, the effective stability may lie on the unsafe side [10]. There is therefore a big demand to optimize the method of investigating deformations around the tunnel, so as to ensure a safe tunnel excavation on the one hand and to guarantee a cost-effective process on the other. In this paper the tunnelling process is modelled by a step-by-step excavation under atmospheric conditions. The soil is described by a material model which distinguishes between primary and unload-reload stress paths and also accounts for stress-dependent stiffness parameters. The failure criterion is described by the Mohr-Coulomb criterion that considers cohesion, friction angle and angle of dilatancy.
