Abstract

This study is aimed at investigating the excavation damage characteristics of surrounding rock in Jinping deeply buried marble tunnels, China. According to the acoustic detection results of tunnel cross-sections under the condition of tunnel boring machine (TBM) obtained on site, the PFC microscopic parameters of Types II/III tunnel marble were simulated and calibrated through the PFC 2D program. In doing so, the excavation damage characteristics of surrounding rock of deeply-buried sections in Jinping diversion tunnels were simulated. The results reveal that the excavation damage zones (EDZ) of surrounding rock of Types II/III marble sections in Jinping tunnels are unevenly distributed around the tunnels; the largest zone is located from the top arch to the north arch shoulder. The EDZ depth and damage degree of surrounding rock rise with the increase in buried depth, and they also increase with the decrease in rock quality. Generally, the maximum damage depth of Type III surrounding rock is about 1.0 m larger than that of Type II surrounding rock under the same buried depth, which is basically consistent with the detection results of the relaxation depth of surrounding rock. The simulation well discloses the excavation damage characteristics of surrounding rock in Jinping deeply buried tunnels.
