The present invention relates to the technical field of highway tunnel protection technologies, and in particular, to a shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock.
Arranging a shed tunnel in a mountain area highway is an effective measure to deal with geological disasters of ramp failure and falling rocks. How to improve a capability of the shed tunnel in preventing impact of falling rocks is a focus of a shed tunnel design and research.
A structural design of the shed tunnel in preventing impact of falling rocks is mainly reflected in a structural design and a backfill design of a tunnel roof. Commonly used measures include use of an energy-dissipating support for a roof beam of a freely supported structure, tunnel roof backfill using a special buffer material or structure, tunnel roof backfill using a thick layer, and the like. The energy-dissipating support is made of a disposable material. After absorbing energy and being damaged in the case of one impact, the energy-dissipating support needs to be replaced in time to cope with the next impact, and the energy-dissipating support cannot cope with continuous impact of falling rocks.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock, which can achieve the objective of resisting continuous impact of the falling rock through a structural design.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention is implemented by the following technical solution:
A shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock includes a shed tunnel body and a buffer plate for bearing impact of the falling rock, where the shed tunnel body includes a first supporting structure, and the first supporting structure is arranged on a side away from a ramp; one end of the buffer plate is connected to the ramp; a side face of the buffer plate close to the shed tunnel body is in contact with the first supporting structure, and the contact position is close to the other end of the buffer plate.
In the present invention, the shed tunnel body includes a tunnel roof and two supporting structures, where the two supporting structures support the tunnel roof, and the first supporting structure is farther from the ramp than a second supporting structure. One end of the buffer plate is a connecting end, and the connecting end is connected to the ramp, the other end of the buffer plate is a free end, and a side face of the free end close to the shed tunnel is in contact with the first supporting structure. When the falling rock on the ramp falls on the shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock, the buffer plate directly bears the falling rock. After the buffer plate is subjected to an impact force of the falling rock, the contact position between the free end of the buffer plate and the first supporting structure moves relatively, and the buffer plate is elastically deformed to consume the impact force of the falling rock. The structure and the connection design of the buffer plate significantly increase a time of action between the falling rock and the shed tunnel and reduce the impact force acting on the shed tunnel, and the objective of resisting continuous impact of the falling rock can be achieved. The free end of the buffer plate is movably connected to the first supporting structure, and a length of extension can be changed continuously with increase of the falling rock. Compared with a fixed connection manner, the movable contact manner prevents the connection position between the buffer plate and the first supporting structure from being damaged by an excessive impact force when the buffer plate bears the falling rock, and prolongs the service life of the shed tunnel.
As a preferred solution of the present invention, the buffer plate is an arch plate. By designing the buffer plate into an arched structure, a slope of a side face of the buffer plate bearing the falling rock gradually decreases, which further expands the range of elastic deformation of the buffer plate and effectively enhances the anti-impact effect of the shed tunnel structure.
As a preferred solution of the present invention, the shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock further includes an anchor rod for connecting the buffer plate to the ramp, where the anchor rod is hinged to the buffer plate. Through the structural design of the anchor rod and the hinge, when the falling rock falls on the buffer plate, the connecting end of the buffer plate can rotate around the hinge position to ensure connection strength between the buffer plate and the anchor rod, and prevent the impact force borne by the buffer plate from affecting the connection between the buffer plate and the anchor rod, thereby further ensuring the service life of the shed tunnel structure.
As a preferred solution of the present invention, the shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock further includes a variable-stiffness pull rod assembly for supporting the buffer plate, where two ends of the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly are connected to two ends of the side face of the buffer plate close to the shed tunnel body respectively, a connecting end of the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly connected to the buffer plate is close to the ramp, and the other end thereof is close to the first supporting structure; the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly includes a pull rod and a variable-stiffness spring, the pull rod and the variable-stiffness spring are connected in series to form a rod-shaped structure, and two ends of the rod-shaped structure are connected to the two ends of the side face of the buffer plate close to shed tunnel body respectively.
As a preferred solution of the present invention, a stiffness curve of the variable-stiffness spring is a notching curve, and a slope of the notching curve gradually increases.
In the present invention, the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly is configured to support the buffer plate. When the falling rock falls on the buffer plate, the buffer plate is elastically deformed, and the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly is stretched. When the impact force is smaller, the deformation of the buffer plate is smaller, a stretched length of the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly is smaller, a tensile force provided by the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly is smaller, and in this state, the impact force of the falling rock is directly borne mainly by the buffer plate. When the impact force is larger, the deformation of the buffer plate is larger, the stretched length of the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly is larger, the tensile force provided by the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly is larger, and in this state, the buffer plate and the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly jointly bear the impact force of the falling rock. The variable-stiffness spring with the stiffness curve being the notching curve is used, so that stiffness of the variable-stiffness spring changes from small to large. As the elastic deformation gradually increases, a change in the impact resistance provided by the variable-stiffness spring gradually increases. When the elastic deformation is larger, the change in the impact resistance provided by the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly with the same amount of deformation is more obvious than that when the elastic deformation is smaller, which further ensures the anti-impact effect of the shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock in bearing the continuous impact of the falling rock.
As a preferred solution of the present invention, the shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock further includes a variable-stiffness pull rod assembly for supporting the buffer plate, where one end of the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly is connected to the side face of the buffer plate close to the shed tunnel body, and the connection position is close to the first supporting structure; the other end of the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly is connected to the ramp; the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly includes a pull rod and a variable-stiffness spring, the pull rod and the variable-stiffness spring are connected in series to form a rod-shaped structure, and two ends of the rod-shaped structure are connected to the two ends of the side face of the buffer plate close to shed tunnel body respectively.
In the present invention, through the position design of the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly, the top of one end of the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly is directly anchored to the ramp, so that the arched plate has larger deformation space and can bear larger impact of the falling rock.
As a preferred solution of the present invention, the buffer plate includes at least one first buffer unit and at least one second buffer unit, and the first buffer unit and the second buffer unit match each other to implement extension of the buffer plate; a matching side of the first buffer unit is provided with an L-shaped first lap joint portion, and the first lap joint portion includes an upper arm and a first side arm connected to the matching side of the first buffer unit; a matching side of the second buffer unit is provided with an L-shaped second lap joint portion, the second lap joint portion includes a lower arm and a second side arm connected to the matching side of the second buffer unit, and a lower surface of the first side arm and an upper surface of the second side wall match each other; through the structural design of the buffer plate, when the buffer plate bears the falling rock, lap joint positions between the buffer units are staggered, and impact of debris of the falling rock is borne by a tunnel roof backfill layer, thereby improving impact resistance of the shed tunnel structure.
As a preferred solution of the present invention, an end of the first supporting structure in contact with the buffer plate is provided with an arc-shaped steel plate. When the buffer plate bears the falling rock, the buffer plate is elastically deformed, and the buffer plate and the first supporting structure move relative to each other. By arranging the arc-shaped steel plate, structural strength of the first supporting structure is ensured when the steel plate is prevented from hindering relative movement of the buffer plate and the first supporting structure, and the relative movement between the buffer plate and the first supporting structure is prevented from affecting the contact position.
As a preferred solution of the present invention, a surface of the arc-shaped steel plate in contact with the buffer plate is a smooth surface, which reduces a friction coefficient between the buffer plate and the arc-shaped steel plate and ensures impact resistance of the buffer plate.
As a preferred solution of the present invention, the shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock further includes a backfill structure, where the backfill structure is arranged on a boundary side of the shed tunnel body and the ramp, as well as an upper side of the shed tunnel body. Through the structural design of the backfill structure, the impact force of the falling rock is prevented from being directly borne by the tunnel roof of the shed tunnel body, thereby further ensuring the service life of the shed tunnel.

In a specific implementation, the buffer plate 2 has a structure having characteristics of large elastic deformation and high toughness, and preferably, the buffer plate 2 is a thick steel plate.
In the present invention, the shed tunnel body 1 includes a tunnel roof and two supporting structures, where the two supporting structures support the tunnel roof, and the first supporting structure 11 is farther from the ramp 6 than the second supporting structure. One end of the buffer plate 2 is a connecting end, and the connecting end is connected to the ramp 6, the other end of the buffer plate 2 is a free end, and a side face of the free end close to the shed tunnel is in contact with the first supporting structure 11. When the falling rock 7 on the ramp 6 falls on the shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock 7, the buffer plate 2 directly bears the falling rock 7. After the buffer plate 2 is subjected to an impact force of the falling rock 7, the contact position between the free end of the buffer plate 2 and the first supporting structure 11 moves relatively, and the buffer plate 2 is elastically deformed to consume the impact force of the falling rock 7. The structure and the connection design of the buffer plate 2 significantly increase a time of action between the falling rock 7 and the shed tunnel and reduce the impact force acting on the shed tunnel, and the objective of resisting continuous impact of the falling rock 7 can be achieved. The free end of the buffer plate 2 is movably connected to the first supporting structure 11, and a length of extension can be changed continuously with increase of the falling rock 7. Compared with a fixed connection manner, the movable contact manner prevents the connection position between the buffer plate 2 and the first supporting structure 11 from being damaged by an excessive impact force when the buffer plate 2 bears the falling rock 7, and prolongs the service life of the shed tunnel.
As a preferred solution of the present invention, the buffer plate 2 is an arch plate. By designing the buffer plate 2 into an arched structure, a slope of a side face of the buffer plate 2 bearing the falling rock 7 gradually decreases, which further expands the range of elastic deformation of the buffer plate 2 and effectively enhances the anti-impact effect of the shed tunnel structure.

The variable-stiffness spring 42 with the stiffness curve being the notching curve is used, so that stiffness of the variable-stiffness spring 42 changes from small to large. As the elastic deformation gradually increases, a change in the impact resistance provided by the variable-stiffness spring 42 gradually increases. When the elastic deformation is larger, the change in the impact resistance provided by the variable-stiffness pull rod assembly 4 with the same amount of deformation is more obvious than when the elastic deformation is smaller, which further ensures the anti-impact effect of the shed tunnel structure for preventing a falling rock 7 in bearing the continuous impact of the falling rock 7.
