Abstract

A method for determining parameters of cross sections of a single-hole four-lane highway tunnel includes the steps of determining surrounding rock pressure, constructing numerical models under different flatness ratios, calculating interval force of lining structures, calculating safety coefficients of the lining structures, performing contrastive analysis on the cross sections under different flatness ratios, obtaining reasonable cross section forms, and so on. This method provides a basis to formulate the specifications and standards for design of a single-hole four-lane highway tunnel and may provide a reference basis to design a cross section of a single-hole four-lane highway tunnel in new construction or reconstruction and expansion, thereby ensuring safety and economic efficiency of the cross section forms of the single-hole four-lane highway tunnel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A design method for parameters of cross sections of a single-hole four- lane highway tunnel, wherein comprising the following steps:
(1) determining surrounding rock pressure:
calculating, based on grade parameters of surrounding rock, surrounding rock pressure of the single-hole four-lane highway tunnel, wherein the surrounding rock pressure of the single-hole four-lane highway tunnel comprises vertical uniform pressure q and horizontal uniform pressure e;
(2) constructing numerical models under different flatness ratios:
selecting, based on a construction limit of the tunnel, a series of cross section flatness ratio parameters, and respectively constructing tunnel numerical calculation models by using MIDAS/GTS finite element software, wherein when the tunnel has a cross section with an inverted arch, flatness ratios select multiple groups of different numerical values from 0.500 to 0.750, and when the tunnel has a cross section without an inverted arch, flatness ratios select multiple groups of different numerical values from 0.400-0.560;
(3) calculating internal force of lining structures:
calculating stress on the lining structures of the cross sections of the tunnel under different flatness ratios by using the MIDAS/GTS finite element software, to obtain axial force N and bending moments M of the lining structures;
(4) calculating safety coefficients of the lining structures:
calculating, based on calculation results of the axial force N and the bending moments M of linings at different positions of the cross sections, and physical and mechanical parameters of lining materials, the safety coefficients K of the lining structures at different positions of the cross sections;
(5) performing contrastive analysis on the cross sections under different flatness ratios:
respectively performing contrastive analysis of safety and economic efficiency on cross section forms under different flatness ratios; and
(6) obtaining reasonable cross section forms:
summarizing analysis results of safety and economic efficiency of the lining structures of the tunnel, taking a flatness ratio overlapping range of an optimal safety interval and an optimal economic efficiency interval as a flatness ratio optimal interval, and selecting flatness ratio parameters in the flatness ratio optimal interval to perform design of the cross sections of the single-hole four-lane highway tunnel;
wherein the embodiment of step [4] is as follows:
for a pre-designed lining reinforced concrete component, a depth x of compression zone of each cross section may be calculated first according to the formula below, in a direction perpendicular to the cross sections, and based on a tension and compression balance:
R g ( A g −A′ g )= R w bx;

when the depth x of compression zone of the cross sections of the tunnel is less than or equal to 0.55h 02 , a secondary lining is a component with large eccentricity, and the safety coefficient of each cross section is calculated according to the formula below:

at the moment, a position of a neutral axis is determined according to the formula below:
R g ( A g e∓A′ g e′ )= R w bx ( e−h 0 +x/ 2);

when the axial force N acts between a gravity center of a rebar A g and a gravity center of a rebar A′ g , a second term on a left side of the above formula takes a positive sign; and when the axial force N acts outside rather than between the gravity center of the rebar A g and the gravity center of the rebar A′ g , the second term takes a negative sign;
when a stressed rebar is considered during calculation, a depth of compression zone of concrete should meet the requirement that x is greater than or equal to 2a′, and if the requirement is not met, calculation is performed according to the formula below:
