Theoretical and Numerical Research on V-Cut Parameters and Auxiliary Cuthole Criterion in Tunnelling by Xiaoming Lou, Bao Wang, En Wu, Mingwu Sun, Ping Zhou, Zhenchang Wang

“…A theoretical solution for increasing the critical depth of the auxiliary center cuthole and the criteria for increasing the cuthole diameter of various types of cutholes when the rock attributes, explosive properties, and cuthole dip angle are constant are proposed. (1) If charging length le < 0.75H/sin θ, no auxiliary cuthole is needed. (2) If 0.75H/sin θ < le < 0.75H/sin θ + (2∼4) × 0.1, a central vertical auxiliary hole is needed. (3) If 0.75H/sin θ + (2∼4) × 0.1 < le < 0.75(H/sin θ + Hi/sin θi), a shallow inclined hole is needed. (4) If le > 0.75(H/sin θ + Hi/sin θi), both the central vertical cuthole and the shallow inclined cuthole are needed. …”

Prediction and Analysis of Abnormal Gas Emission Law in Low-Gas Tunnel Based on K-Line Diagram by Haiyang Wang, Shulei Zhao, Jialiang Liu, Yanmin Zhou, Xiang Chen, Jie Wang, Liang Cheng

“…By tracking and analyzing the gas monitoring data of the low-gas tunnel, it is found that the cyclic abnormal gas emission occurred many times during the construction period, leading to local gas accumulation, which greatly increases the risk of gas explosion accidents. To scientifically predict the abnormal gas emission in low-gas tunnels, the idea of K-line diagram-based prediction of abnormal gas emission in low-gas tunnels is put forward, and in combination with the field monitoring data of low-gas tunnel (Huangguashan Tunnel), the prediction results with different prediction indexes of K-line diagram are compared and analyzed. …”
