| description | When carrying out construction that underpasses existing subway tunnels, the surrounding rock is frequently disturbed. Therefore, it can loosen easily and become unstable, which makes its stability difficult to control. Here, we considered an existing subway tunnel in a certain subway section and used orthogonal experiments to design a simulation program as well as the UDEC (Universal Distinct Element Code) simulation software to determine the influences of four factors (i.e., grout density, grouting pressure, dynamic shear force, and viscosity) on the grouting reinforcement effect. The following results were obtained: (1) the combination of the construction method and the grouting parameters strongly influences the reinforcement effect on the surrounding rock of the tunnel. The grouting pressure is not directly proportional to the stability of the surrounding rock. The dynamic adjustment of the relationship between the grouting pressure and the grout density can effectively improve the stress state of the surrounding rock of the tunnel, control surface settlement and deformation, and reduce the section reduction rate of the tunnel. (2) The distribution of joints is closely related to the failure area and form of the surrounding rock of the tunnel. For surrounding rock with well-developed joint fissures, an excessively high grouting pressure should not be used as they are unstable. (3) The effective bearing range of grouting-reinforced surrounding rock is dependent on the pore pressure and principal stress difference. The area where the pore pressure is 70–80% of the initial grouting pressure is the effective bearing range of the grouting-reinforced surrounding rock. The stability of the surrounding rock increases with decreasing principal stress difference and increasing range. (4) The actual monitored data show that the surface settlement can be effectively reduced by handling of grouting reinforcement parameters flexibly, which can meet the control standards. |
