Abstract

Although drilling and blasting method is widely used to excavate tunnel structures, it has great effect on adjacent ground structures. In order to find out the influence sphere and features of this construction method on overpass, three-dimensional numerical simulation method was used to analyze the displacement, stress and blasting vibration velocity of overpass. The results show that: (1) Drilling and blasting excavation method can cause differential settlement of stratum and overpass which is above the crown of tunnel. (2) The strong constraint structures of overpass are obviously affected by blasting vibration than other parts. (3) It should be taken extra protection measures at connection points between piers and decks as well as connection points between piers and stratum. (4) Horizontal vibration velocity caused by blasting excavation is lower than vertical vibration velocity. To control the vertical blasting vibration velocity is the essential to control the security of tunnel structure and upper structures. The above results certainly contribute to construct tunnel structures by using drilling and blasting excavation under complicated conditions.
