Stability Analysis of Large Underground Station Based on Coupled Fluid-Solid Theorem

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tunnelling may disturb the intrinsic balance of a stratum, and result in accidents like caving or gushing. In order to assess the security of underground station project, numerical analysis for the stability of surrounding rock was done with fast Lagrangian analysis of continua in three dimensions (FLAC3D), Multiple factors were considered, including surrounding rock classes, tunnel depths, groundwater tables, construction methods and initial supporting systems. According to the results of principal stresses, displacements, plastic zones, pore pressure distribution and the mechanical characters of supporting system including anchors and shotcrete, the seepage mechanism of underground station has been discussed. The pore pressure distribution of deep-buried tunnel was studied as well. The study results can provide a theoretical basis for the design of tunnel and underground works in aquifer strata.
