Resumen
In view of the actual gap between the theoretical solution and the measured value of the range of the surrounding rock loose zone excavated by blasting, the formation process and influencing factors of the surrounding rock loose zone after blasting are analyzed by combining theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and field tests. It is proposed that the formation of the surrounding rock loose zone can be divided into two parts: the stress loose zone formed by in situ stress release after chamber excavation and the blasting?expansion loose zone formed by blasting, corresponding to the stress loose zone crack propagation. In this paper, the stress method and work?energy relationship method based on the Fenner solution were used to study the range of the surrounding rock loose zone formed after chamber excavation. A theoretical formula for determining the range of the surrounding rock loose zone is presented. These methods can clearly explain the formation mechanism of the loose zone, and the parameter selection method is simple and fast, which can be used for the theoretical prediction of the loose zone of surrounding rock in tunnel engineering in rock areas. Finally, the two methods were used to calculate the range of surrounding rock loose zone under three different working conditions in the Qingdao Metro single-track section, and the results were compared with the field monitoring results to verify the applicability of the proposed methods.
