A Procedure for Determining the Reaction Curve of Shotcrete Lining Considering Transient Conditions

Summary The mechanical behaviour of a shotcrete lining is analysed in this paper using the convergence-confinement approach. A calculation procedure is presented which is able to provide the reaction curve of a lining with increasing stiffness, by taking into account the variability due to time of the shotcrete stiffness and strength, as well as the face advancement rate. The proposed procedure is also able to provide the change of the safety factor of the lining in time. This results to be a very useful tool for understanding the behaviour of this widely used support and for assigning its thickness to guarantee stability (also in transient conditions), with a known safety factor, during tunnel excavation.

注浆法在填土地基加固处理中的应用实例

泸溪县武溪110kv变电站场地地基为人工开挖山坡堆填而成，填土厚薄不均，由块石、碎石及粉土构成。变电站建成后，建筑物及地面发生不均匀沉降，建设方要求进行加固处理，经过反复对比和投资验算，确定采用充填、渗透注浆法对填土地基注入浓水泥浆进行加固处理。施工前，先要进行注浆试验，选择合理的注浆方式和技术参数。注浆加固后，通过一年多的观察，建筑物及地面不均匀沉隆均得到控制，达到了提高地基承载力，稳定建筑的目的。     

Advanced constitutive modelling of shotcrete: Model formulation and calibration

Shotcrete is one of the main support elements for tunnels constructed according to the principles of the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM). In this paper, a sophisticated constitutive model for the complex mechanical and time-dependent behaviour of shotcrete is presented, which is formulated within the framework of elasto-plasticity. Two independent yield surfaces govern the material behaviour in compression and tension under multi-axial loading conditions, which is further controlled by non-linear plastic strain hardening and softening rules following uniaxial stress–strain curves. The main novelty of the model is the introduction of normalised hardening and softening parameters which enable a more realistic simulation of the shotcrete loading history. In addition, cracking of the shotcrete is treated within the smeared crack concept by applying a fracture energy approach as a regularisation technique, which eliminates the dependency of the results on the size of the elements in a finite element mesh. Furthermore, the model takes into account the gradual change of the main material properties of the shotcrete due to cement hydration during the first 28 days after spraying. Other important time effects such as creep, shrinkage and hydration temperature induced deformations at early ages are considered in the current model formulation. This paper aims to describe in detail the developed structure of the constitutive model and model calibration.     

Effects of tunnelling on existing support systems of perpendicularly crossing tunnels

The interactions between perpendicularly crossing tunnels in the Sydney region are investigated using a full three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis coupled with elasto-plastic material models. Special attention is paid to the effect of subsequent tunnelling on the support system, i.e. the shotcrete lining and rock bolts, of the existing tunnel. The results of the analysis show that in a region such as Sydney, with relatively high horizontal stresses, installation of the new tunnel causes the shotcrete lining of the existing tunnel to be in tension in the side facing towards the tunnel opening and in compression at the crown and invert. The pre-stressed rock bolts are usually tensioned more in the sections closest to the tunnel opening. For this particular study, if a new tunnel is driven perpendicularly beneath an existing tunnel, significant increases are induced in the bending moments in the shotcrete lining at the lateral sides of the existing tunnel and in the axial forces at its crown and invert. The increase in side bending moments causes further tensile cracking but the crown and invert stresses remain within the thresholds for both compressive failure and tensile cracking for shotcrete lining of typical concrete quality. Moreover, the driving of the new tunnel causes the tensile forces in the existing side rock bolts to increase and those in the existing crown rock bolts to decrease. In contrast, if the new tunnel is driven perpendicularly above the existing tunnel, compressive failure of the existing shotcrete lining is induced at the crown of the deeper tunnel for concrete of typical capacity and a significant tensile force increase of the existing rock bolts around the crown. It is concluded that in order to ensure the stability of the existing tunnel, local thickening is needed at the sides of the existing shotcrete lining if the shallow tunnel is installed first and local thickening is needed at the crown if the deep tunnel is installed first.
