Influence of Support Parameter and Excavation Methods on Statistical Distribution Characteristics of Surrounding Rock Pressure in Shallow-Buried Metro Tunnel

Abstract

For large-spanshallow-buried tunnels in composite strata of urban metro, the study on the distribution characteristics of surrounding rock pressure is a necessary prerequisite for the reliability analysis of tunnel structure. In this paper, through numerical simulation, the random joint file generated by MATLAB is combined with the discrete element software to establish the corresponding random network model. According to the network model calculation, the influence of surrounding rock pressure on the support structure system is discussed, and the reasonable support parameter types are given. Comparing the whole section excavation with the subsectional excavation, the subsectional excavation can effectively control the internal stress self-adjustment of the surrounding rock and effectively restrain the plastic zone. It provides some theoretical guidance and reference for tunnel reliability design.
