Abstract
To reduce the impact on water resource and the environment, the ‘controlled drainage principle’ is complied with when designing waterproof and drainage system of tunnel in recent years. For deep tunnel in Water-soaked Karst Stratum, the lining would sustain high water pressure that was caused by the unreasonable design of waterproof and drainage system. Taking a railway shield tunnel as an engineering background, the water shut-off effect of grouting circle, minimum controlled discharge of tunnel and the water pressure of lining properties were studied. The results indicated that, under the condition of high initial water pressure and adequate groundwater recharge, to achieve the desired water shut-off effect, the permeability coefficient of grouting circle should be less than that of surrounding rock over one quantitative grade; the water pressure of lining decreased with the increase of discharge, and showed a linear relationship; the lining could meet the requirement on the design water pressure load, when the permeability coefficient of grouting circle less than 1/20 of the surrounding rock’s, and the controlled discharge greater than or equal 1/2 of uncontrolled discharge; the full-sealing waterproof lining would sustain initial water pressure and the calculation value of water pressure couldn’t be discounted, if the grouting wasn’t waterproof.
