Study on the instability of surrounding rock and optimization of support systems in fault-crossing tunnels
摘要
During the construction of engineering projects, it is inevitable to cross fault and fractured zones, which are key geological factors that affect the stability of surrounding rock in tunnels. To study the distribution pattern of instability in surrounding rock and the optimization of synergetic support systems in fault-crossing tunnels, a comprehensive identification method integrating multi-source geological information was proposed, fully considering the geometric shape and distribution characteristics of rock fractures. The location of faults in actual projects was determined using this method, and a detailed three-dimensional numerical model was established accordingly. By simulating tunnel excavation, the spatial distribution pattern and grading characteristics of unstable blocks in surrounding rock were analyzed. Meanwhile, based on the original support methods, the effectiveness of synergetic support in stabilizing surrounding rock in tunnels was revealed, and initial support measures tailored to the characteristics of fault-crossing tunnels were proposed. The research results can provide reliable references for disaster prediction, prevention, and control in fault-crossing tunnels and underground engineering.
