Study on Stability of Surrounding Rock of Mechanized Construction in Tunnel Entrance Section

Abstract

With the development of tunnel construction technology and mechanical equipment, the mechanized drilling and blasting construction of mountain tunnels has gradually developed, but there are still certain problems in the mechanized tunnel entry. Relying on a tunnel project in Yunnan, this article uses FLAC3D software to study the stability of surrounding rock under the condition of mechanized large-section construction of shallow buried section of the tunnel entrance. When the shallow buried section of the cave entrance is constructed by the micro-step method, the surrounding rock displacement and plastic zone changes of the surrounding rock before and after the use of different cyclic footage and the tunnel face reinforcement when the tunnel face is used are compared and analyzed. The results of the study show that when the tunnel face is not reinforced, in order to ensure the safety of construction, the mechanized excavation cycle footage of the tunnel entrance section should be controlled within 1.2m, and the overlap length of the leading pipe shed should be greater than 5m; if the circulation is to be increased for footage, the tunnel face must be reinforced. Under the condition that the tunnel face is reinforced with glass fiber anchors with a length of 10m and a pitch of 1.5m, the cycle footage can be increased to 1.8m at most.
