Research on In Situ Stress Distribution of the Railway Tunnels in Southwest China Based on the Complete Temperature Compensation Technology

In situ stress is the natural stress existing in the stratum without engineering disturbance, also known as initial stress, absolute stress, or original rock stress. In order to master the in situ stress of the Manmushu Tunnel and Mamo Tunnel in Southwest China, the casing stress solution method is...

description In situ stress is the natural stress existing in the stratum without engineering disturbance, also known as initial stress, absolute stress, or original rock stress. In order to master the in situ stress of the Manmushu Tunnel and Mamo Tunnel in Southwest China, the casing stress solution method is adopted in this paper. Through the combination of field measurement and laboratory test, the basic data such as initial strain during stress relief are collected, and the in situ stress values are analyzed in combination with indoor temperature compensation test, confining pressure calibration, and relevant rock mechanics tests. The measured results show the following: (1) the maximum horizontal principal stress σh.max ranges from 6.44 MPa to 19.74 MPa; the vertical principal stress σv ranges from 4.11 MPa to 13.48 MPa; and the minimum horizontal principal stress ranges from 4.32 MPa to 11.22 MPa. (2) The maximum horizontal principal stress directions of the five measuring points are all located in the NW direction, which is basically consistent with the maximum principal stress direction of the regional tectonic stress field. The maximum horizontal principal stress (σh.max), the minimum horizontal principal stress (σh.min), and the vertical principal stress (σv) all increase with the increase of buried depth, and the relationship is approximately linear. It is suggested that, in the actual construction process, the construction method and construction parameters should be optimized scientifically and reasonably to reduce the disturbance of blasting on the tunnel surrounding rock. After tunnel excavation, support measures should be taken quickly, timely, and scientifically to reduce and control the deformation of the surrounding rock.
