The tectonic response of the Ordos Basin to Indosinian movement mainly occurred in the southwestern part of the basin due to the Late Triassic collisional Qinling orogeny to the south.The orogeny resulted in intense uplift and exhumation of the southwestern section of the Ordos Basin,where the upper and middle parts of the Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation were exhumated and the magnitude of exhumation progressively decreased to the northeast(Liu Chiyang et al.,2008).However,little attention has been paid to the influence of Indosinian movement to the northern Ordos Basin.In this study,stratigraphic observations and new apatite fission track(AFT)data are integrated to characterize the effect of Indosinian movement in the northern Ordos Basin. 相似文献
Tunnel water inrush disaster is a serious problem in karst tunnel construction and occurs extensively in southwestern China. To prevent water inrush, hydraulic lining has been utilized extensively in karst tunnel construction. The failure of the hydraulic lining in the Tongxi tunnel is an example of a typical failure case that has yet to be fully analyzed. In this paper, the failure of the waterproof liner was studied by theoretical and numerical methods. By field investigation, the failure of the tunnel lining was attributed to a high hydraulic pressure head converging in the large karst caves behind the lining. The corresponding mechanical model can be simplified as a “karst cave water pressure” model. The key to the mechanical model was to determine the water pressure of the karst caves produced by the lining. The variation in water pressure was directly related to the cave’ reservoir volume, catchment flow and catchment time. Thus, volume calculation formulas for two types of karst caves (strike and oblique caves) in the studied tunnel were constructed based on the engineering geological conditions. Considering the precipitation, the flow rate in the karst caves was regarded as nearly constant during the catchment period. Hence, reservoir volumes during different periods can be calculated and converted to the stress boundary conditions of the lining. Then, the mechanical response of the tunnel under different water levels was calculated by numerical simulation. Combining the field investigation and monitoring data, the tunnel lining failure was mainly believed to be triggered by hydraulic fracturing failure due to a high-pressure head. Finally, prevention measures were proposed based on the results of this study.
