SRC rock mass classification of tunnels under high tectonic stress excavated in weak rocks

This paper describes the application of the SRC rockmass classification system to tunnels under high horizontal tectonic stress excavated in weak rocks. The analysis was performed on 25 tunnels in Spain and Italy, for which it was found that much heavier supports than those estimated by the RMR index were required. SRC and RMR indices and other relevant geomechanical data were obtained during the site investigation and construction stages. Data corresponding to in situ stress measurements, analysis of tectonic structures and instability problems arising during construction were used to asses the state of stress.

The relationship between tunnel section convergence and the SRC and RMR indices was also analysed. Support measurements based on SRC and RMR classification were compared with those actually used during construction. These analyses indicate that for most of the tunnels examined, supports estimated using the SRC were much closer to those actually installed than those predicted by the RMR index.

Based on the case histories presented, the factors mainly contributing to deformability and consequently to assessing support measurements were: high horizontal tectonic stress, low strength of rocks, overburden thickness and structural anisotropy related to tunnel axis orientation. According to these factors, the tunnels investigated were classified as three types. Tunnels classed as type I were those of low overburden thickness under high horizontal tectonic stress excavated in low strength rocks. The supports installed for these tunnels were much heavier than those predicted by the RMR index, being more in line with those indicated by the SRC index. The type II tunnels had thick overburdens and showed similar stress and strength conditions to the former. The supports installed were practically those foreseen by the SRC index, appreciably differing with respect to the RMR index. Finally, tunnels included in the type III class were those under low to moderate tectonics stress, irrespective of overburden thickness. These tunnels gave rise to RMR and SRC indices that provided acceptable results.

Influence of cyclic wetting and drying on swelling behavior of mudstone in south west of Iran

Mudstone experience periodic swell and shrink behavior due to alternate wetting and drying cycles at arid and semi-arid regions with distinctive seasonal changes. This paper examines the influence of cyclic wetting and drying on swelling strain and swelling pressure to simulate the behavior of such rocks under heavy structures (such as building foundations) and behind the stiff support systems (such as concrete linings). Mudstone samples from Bakhtiari formation of Masjed-Soleiman region in south west of Iran were chosen to perform the laboratory tests. The swelling strain under different dead pressures and also swelling pressure under oedometeric condition were measured over time. The maximum swelling strain and pressure increased with each cycle but it had a bound. Increasing the number of wetting and drying cycles reduces the time required to reach ultimate swelling of mudstone. This is a very important conclusion which helps to determine ultimate swelling behavior in a faster way as opposed to performing standard swelling tests for very long periods. The laboratory’s results are also in good correspondence with field measurements.     

Waveform inversion and focal mechanisms of two weak earthquakes in Cordillera Principal (Argentina) between 35° and 35.5° S

Only few (six) focal mechanism, in CMT Catalog, have been so far known for intraplate shallow events in the Andean chain close to Chile–Argentina state border at latitudes ∼35° S. We add two more mechanisms, depths and moment magnitudes by carefully analyzing full waveforms of weak events recorded by broad-band stations of the Chile Argentina Geophysical Experiment (southern profile). The moment magnitudes of both events (Mw = 3.6 and 3.7) are lower than the duration magnitudes (Md = 4.0 and 4.29) reported by NEIC. The source depth, constrained by waveforms for one of the studied events (5.5–8.5 km) seems to be considerably shallower than the hypocenter depth located by means of arrival times (∼20 km). The waveform analysis was complemented by first-motion polarities which resulted in an uncertainty assessment of the focal mechanism. Event 1 (2001-11-03) has a strike-slip mechanism with a small normal component and almost vertical nodal planes in the north-south and east-west directions. The north-south nodal plane could be related to the Calabozos faults system. Event 2 (2002-02-16) has a strike-slip mechanism with a small thrust component. The latter event (its subhorizontal nodal plane) could be associated with the El Diablo-El Fierro fault system. Dextral strike-slip solutions are consistent with recent studies in the area.

考虑覆岩结构影响的近松散层开采导水裂隙带发育高度预测模型研究——以淮北煤田为例

煤层采动后形成的顶板导水裂隙带是沟通顶板充水含水层的主要通道之一,同时也是顶板水害防治需要重点研究的关键问题。近年来,西部矿区已成为我国煤炭资源主要开采区,其主采侏罗系含煤地层与东部石炭-二叠系有着明显差异,并具有典型的孔隙度高、胶结程度差等特征,顶板采动导水裂隙的演化特征也与东部矿区具有较大差异,相关的研究尚未形成普适性成果。因此,本文选取典型的弱胶结地区——新疆哈密大南湖矿区为例,采用UDEC数值模拟、现场三维钻孔电视成像等方法,并结合“S-R”稳定理论,以垮落带高度为自变量,建立砌体梁承载强度与垮落带高度关系式,全面揭示该区煤层开采过程中顶板的采动破坏过程与演化特征,并以此为依据确定顶板导水裂隙带的发育高度。在此基础上,通过收集侏罗系同类型煤矿导水裂隙带高度的实测数据,采用回归分析方法,拟合并修正现有经验公式。研究表明：研究区顶板导水裂隙带发育高度的范围是60.07~62 m,裂采比为17.67~18.24,整体形态呈“梯台”型特征,结合邻矿现场实测对比证实了此次实测结果的可靠性;开采范围内导水裂隙带发育高度受垮落带高度增量、岩块回转角变化的影响呈现：“快速增加-缓慢增加-逐渐稳定”的发展与演化规律;验证计算结果表明,论文提出的回归公式预测精度一般在10.30% ~17.25%之间,相较于传统经验公式平均误差降低了51.84%,显著提高了导水裂隙带高度的预测精度。论文的相关研究成果可为新疆地区相似开采条件下顶板导水裂隙带发育高度计算提供理论依据。

软硬接触对含包体试样破裂模式影响的数值试验

运用自行开发的岩石破裂过程分析系统RFPA^2D，对包体与母岩间软、硬接触对包体试样破裂模式的影响进行了数值试验。研究认为：软、硬接触对包体试样的破裂特征和试样最大承载力起着重要的影响，软接触对包体试样的破裂特征和最大承载力起着决定性的影响，而包体本身所起的作用并不重要。硬接触时包体试样的破裂特征和最大承载力主要取决于包体和母岩的力学性质。
