ABSTRACT
Based on the Xiabeishan No.2 tunnel project of the Hang-Shao-Tai high-speed railway in China, the mechanical behavior of the anchor bolts for shallow super-large-span (SSLS) tunnels in weak rock mass is comprehensively investigated through laboratory tests, numerical simulation, and field tests. Firstly, an eight-month field test is conducted in the Xiabeishan No.2 tunnel, and it is discovered that the blasting vibration created by the construction of the middle pilot tunnel caused serious damage to the temporary support, seriously affecting the development of the bolt axial force and causing great construction risks. Then, the refined finite difference model of the SSLS tunnels is formulated, and a series of field and laboratory tests are conducted to acquire the calculation parameters. By comparing the monitored and simulated bolt axial force, the reliability of the numerical model is verified. Subsequently, the influence of the rock condition, construction scheme and bolt length on the mechanical behavior of anchor bolts is discussed. It is revealed that the rock grade significantly affects the bearing characteristics of anchor bolts. The construction scheme can greatly affect the magnitude and development mode of the bolt axial force, but the final distribution characteristics of the bolt axial force do not change regardless of the construction sequence. The axial force of the anchor bolts grows rapidly with the bolt length when the bolt length is within 18 m; meanwhile, when the bolt length exceeds 18 m, increasing the bolt length has a limited effect on the improvement in the bolt support performance. Finally, some optimization measures are proposed according to the monitoring data and simulation results.
