Study of Control Empty Width in the Underground Penstock Contact Grouting Engineering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Determining control empty size can be used as a standard of deciding whether contact grouting in the empty area is needed, in order to reduce the construction difficulty and enhance running safety of underground penstock. In this paper, underground penstock operation process has been simulated by means of the well-known FEA software-ANSYS. The empty conditions and joint bearing of steel lining and surrounding rock have been simulated by setting contact element. In this way, control empty width of different radius steel pipe and different initial gap has been calculated. The result provides reference to decide whether contact grouting between steel lining and back filled concrete needed.
