Tunnels are generally designed for a sustained usage of 80 to 100 years, during which the safety of tunnel structures must be guaranteed. A common supporting form utilized in contemporary tunnel engineering is composite lining. To derive applicable parameters of the supporting form and therefore ensure the long-term safety of the tunnel structure, it is imperative to determine the extra acting force exerted onto the composite lining by the creep of the rock surrounding the tunnel and to calculate the stress-strain characteristics of composite lining. In the current study, this paper proposes an approach termed surrounding reinforcement, which is based on the homogenization method. Specifically, this paper defined the bolt force as the internal force of the surrounding rock, analyzed their viscoelastic-plastic properties using the unified strength theory, and derived an equation for calculating the stress-strain relationship of the composite lining. To further validate the method in tunnel structures, this paper applied the derived equation to a representative instance. The results of this paper show that the initial support force has also increased during the creep process of the surrounding rock, indicating that engineers should pay close attention to the coordination between the strength of initial support and the secondary lining and thus ensure an optimal distribution of the pressure from the surrounding rock when designing composite lining tunnel within weak strata. This paper proposes that the initial support not only would guarantee the tunnel safety during the construction stage but also could cooperate with the secondary lining to brace the stress caused by the creep, ensuring that the supporting structure stays stable across the whole period of tunnel operation. This paper provides an alternative to previous methods that is more comprehensive, with simpler calculations, and more applicable to the composite lining supporting design within weak strata.

Related to the actual project in the new Qi Daoliang tunnel between Lanzhou and Lintao highway, select 300-meter calculation range along the tunnel vertically including fault-rupture zone and effect fault-rupture zone, utilize 8 -node, 6-plane block element to scatter the calculating range, at the same time, use the deduced 8 -node, three dimensional jointed element to imitate the transformation gap of the tunnel lining, employ three-dimensional elasto-plastic static finite element program to analyze stress and transformation state of surrounding rock and lining in different construction stages of the new Qi Daoliang tunnel. Through the analysis and comparison of the calculation result of the three conditions: not placing transformation gap through, placing one transformation gap in the middle of the fault-rupture zone, placing two transformation gaps in the beginning and the end of the fault-rupture zone etc, we can get the following points: ①The gallery transformation in the fault-rupture zone and the plastic area in the surrounding rock are obviously bigger than the non-fault-rupture zone. ②Owing to the effect of fault-rupture zone, the increasing range of internal force of the initial support and twice lining is about 10% to 30%. ③Placing the transformation gap in the fault-rupture zone can obviously play a role in releasing lining internal force and transformation energy in the surrounding rock. ④In the start and end changing point of fault-rupture zone, the transformation gap should be placed in the tunnel lining.

Guanjiao tunnel being reconstructed is the key engineering in the 2nd line between Xingning and Golmud. It is 32.645km long. Carbonaceous slate stratum thereinto is nearly 300m long. The rock mass was suffered tectonic movement and crushed, and its physical and mechanical properties are poor. So large deformation will occur while tunnelling under high horizontal tectonic stress. Numerical simulation along with field experiments were utilized to study the mechnical effect of tunnel section shape. Two kinds of section shapes were considered, that are horseshoe-shaped section and large curvature wall, quasi-circle-shape section. Results show that quasi-circle-shape section could effectively lessen the deformation of tunnel and minish stress concentration of support. Field experiments of different support forms were also conducted. Support forms include Grid steel frame (4×ф22mm)with 0.5m span, I 20a steel frame with 0.67m span and I 20a steel frame with 0.5m span. Pressure of surrounding rock, axial force of anchor, stress of steel frame and shotcrete under different support form were measured and analysed. Because composite lining was adopted in the tunnel, the contact pressure shared by secondary lining and stress of molded concrete under different primary support stiffness were also analysed. Results showed stress of support are rational under support form of I20a. Deformation of tunnel measured in situ under different support forms showed that support form of I20a could control deformation of surrounding rock. Synthetically considering the above and economic benefit, support form of I 20a steel frame with 0.67m span was deemed to be optimal in carbonaceous slate stratum. That could offer engineering experience to tunneling in soft rock under high tectonic stress.

Highway tunnel plays an increasingly prominent role in the development of high-grade highway traffic in mountainous countries or regions. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the deformation characteristics of the surrounding rock of a six-lane multiarch tunnel under different excavation conditions. Using the three-dimensional indoor model test and finite element analysis, this paper studies the dynamic mechanical behavior of a six-lane construction, reveals the whole process of the surrounding rock deformation process of class II surrounding rock under different excavation conditions, and puts forward the best construction and excavation method. The results show that the maximum displacement rate of excavation scheme III is the largest, and the maximum displacement rate of excavation scheme I is basically the same as that of excavation scheme II. Therefore, in terms of controlling the displacement rate of the surrounding rock, the effect of excavation scheme I is basically the same as that of excavation scheme II, while that of excavation scheme III is poor. In terms of construction technology, scheme II is simpler than scheme I and can ensure the integrity of the secondary lining. Therefore, in class II surrounding rock of the supporting project, it is recommended to adopt scheme II for construction.

Muzhailing Highway Extra-long Tunnel in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, China, belongs to the soft rock tunnel in the extremely high geostress area. During the construction process, large deformation of the soft rock occurred frequently. Taking the no. 2 inclined shaft of Muzhailing tunnel as the research object, an NPR (negative Poisson’s ratio) constant resistance and large deformation anchor cable support system based on high prestress force, constant resistance, and releasing surrounding rock pressure was proposed. The characteristics of the surrounding rock under the steel arch support and NPR anchor cable support were compared and analyzed by using 3DEC software. A series of field tests were conducted in the no. 2 inclined shaft, and the rock strength, displacement of the surrounding rock, deep displacement of the surrounding rock, internal force of steel arch, and axial force of anchor cable were measured to study the application effect of the NPR anchor cable support system in tunnel engineering. Moreover, the 3DEC numerical simulation results were compared with the field test results. The research results show that the application of NPR constant resistance and large deformation anchor cable support system in tunnel engineering has achieved good results, and it plays a significant role in controlling the large deformation of the tunnel surrounding rock.
