Abstract
The ultra-shallow buried excavation technology, utilizing pipe-roof steel arches as main supporting structure, has broad application prospects. Current mainstream pipe-roof design schemes often adopt simple beam theory or engineering analogy methods, which do not take into account the cumulative deformation and have high engineering disaster risk. Based on the beam Winkler model of elastic foundation, this paper studies the method on interactive effects among pipe-roof, steel bracing and foundation soil. The calculation model of the ultra-shallow buried pipe-roof and steel bracing is established with theoretical derivation. And a new supporting design method of ultra-shallow buried excavation under interactive effects is proposed. Firstly, an optimal method for determining the elasticity coefficient of steel arch and foundation soil is put forward on interactive effects among pipe-roof, steel bracing and foundation. Secondly, considering the enhancement effect of concrete wall, a procedure of determining the elasticity coefficient of fulcrum is described. That is, the first steel arch, which is adjacent to underground passage tunnel face, returns to the 1.5H (H is the height of the hole) range as an enhanced transition section, and the elasticity coefficient of fulcrum varies linearly with its position. Furthermore, the key issue is the deformation of the inlet section increases to a stable level in a certain range, while the ground settlement does not exceed the threshold. The selection of pipe-roof is controlled by calculated deformation. If the deformation meets the requirements, the internal force will be far enough to meet the requirements. Only two sections need to be considered when calculating the ultra-shallow buried underground passage, the entrances 2.0H and the central across section. Finally, the accuracy of the interactive effects calculated method is validated by using the measured data of a practical example.
