Abstract: | It has been a focus of debate for a large time on construction methods for large-span loess tunnel. Reasonable construction
method has much effect on stability of tunnel and construction schedule. Deformation and failure of surrounding rock are quite
complex. Associating with the large-span loess tunnel of Zhengzhou—Xi’an high-speed passenger rail line in China, large scale
model test with geometric proportion 1:20 is applied to study on dynamic mechanical behavior of various construction methods.
They include full-face excavation with support and no support, and benching method with support. It is found that pre-deformation
and stress accumulation take place ahead of working face. The effects of three construction methods are further studied, particularly
in terms of tunnel displacement and stress changes. It is revealed that benching method transfers load to an unexcavated area,
limits horizontal deformation, reduces stress concentration effectively, lengthens the distance between location of peak for
stress concentration and working face, and consequently increases stability. The model test results not only supply theoretical
foundation for determination of reasonable construction method, but also can act as reference for similar tunnel and underground
engineering construction. |
