Abstract
How to ensure the underground gas pipe's safety under blasting construction of subway connected aisles is a key problem in tunnel construction. Based on the blasting excavation project of Wuhan Rail Transit Line 8 phase II, the numerical model whose reliability is verified by field monitoring data is established by ANSYS/LS-DYNA to analyze the dynamic underground gas pipe's dynamic characteristics under blasting excavation of the connected aisle. According to the piping design code, the allowable effective stress control standard of underground pipe is proposed to evaluate the underground pipe's safety under the blasting. The results show that: with the advance of blasting excavation, the position of the most dangerous section will change constantly and the pipe's peak particle velocity (PPV) will appear an obvious amplification phenomenon in both sides of metro tunnels. The pipe's PPV is greater than the ground surface's PPV. A mathematical model is established to predict the pipeline's PPV based on the linear relationship between the pipeline and the ground surface. According to the correlation between PPV and von-Mises stress of gas pipeline, a mathematical model between the pipe's von-Mises stress and distance is established to predict the pipeline's safety, which can provide guidance for actual blasting engineering.
