Safety Analysis of Lining Structure Influenced by Blasting of Tunnel with Extralarge Section and Small Space

Abstract

In order to ensure the safety of the Daling tunnel with extralarge section and small space, the three-dimensional model of blasting dynamic simulation had been established and verified. Then, the model was used to analyze the influence of the surrounding rock characteristics and blasting design parameters on the blasting vibration of the first hole, and the analysis of the sensitivity of each factor was carried out. The results showed that blasting of the second hole had a serious impact on the safety of the first hole lining structure. Based on the safety threshold and analysis of sensitivity, the explosive velocity, charge density, and digging length were selected as the key parameters affecting the safety of the tunnel structure. Meanwhile, the corresponding engineering measure was taken based on the results of sensitivity and the actual situation on site, and, after that, the maximum PPV of the right wall of the first hole had been reduced to 9.3 cm/s, which effectively guaranteed the safe construction of the tunnel.
