Study on Parameters of Grouting Reinforced Circle for Water-Rich and Soft Fault Fracture Zone in Tunnel

Abstract

Water-rich and soft fault fracture zone is the geologic disaster source of water and mud outbursts in tunnel while the curtain grouting is an effective management method. To determine appropriate parameters of the grouting reinforced circle, depending on fluid-solid coupling theory and numerical simulation of the seepage fieldstress field, the influence of parameters to the water inflow and stability is analyzed while grouting effect was evaluated from the two aspects of reinforcement and water plugging. The conclusion show: the permeabilitystrength and thickness of the grouting reinforced circle are important factors of water inflow and surrounding stability while the choice of the thickness is inflected by the permeability and strength, when which reached a certain value the minimum thickness of the grouting reinforced circle is gotten.
