Abstract
During the period of tunnel excavation, shoring, forming and long-term operation, stress changes of tunnel surrounding rock are complex, the real-time monitoring of surrounding rock pressure is the key factor in ensuring long-term stability in tunnel. Fiber Bragg grating earth pressure sensors apply in surrounding rock pressure of tunnel which can change the pressure of the surrounding rock into fiber Bragg grating wavelength shift. According to the feature of pressure and temperature in Tian Xin Tunnel, 40 earth pressure sensors are embedded in 20 representative sections and one earth pressure sensor is embedded in each arch shoulder. In addition, one temperature compensation sensor is embedded in each arch crown. During the 235 monitoring days, the biggest daily change of surrounding rock pressure reaches 800 KPa. In 3 months of the sensor installation, the average monthly variation is within 50 KPa. The long-term measurement results indicate that the changes of surrounding rock pressure are different in different locations. When the surrounding rock is close to the excavated and blasted surface the surrounding rock pressure changes largely.
