Abstract

Due to its unique address characteristics, the carbon shale tunnel is easy to undergo large deformation, which poses a severe challenge to the structural stability and safety of the tunnel. In order to study the mechanism and control of large deformation of carbonaceous shale tunnels, a combination of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and on-site testing was used to design a "anchoring + grouting" composite support system based on a certain carbonaceous shale tunnel project on the Yaxi Expressway in Sichuan. The results indicated that the main reason for the large deformation of carbonaceous shale tunnels is the combined effect of surrounding rock structure, geostress, and construction factors, which leads to high ground stress and large deformation. It is recommended to use a combination support system of "anchoring + grouting" in carbonaceous shale tunnel engineering, and adjust the construction process appropriately according to the grade of surrounding rock and construction progress, which can effectively control the large deformation of carbonaceous shale tunnels.
