摘要
As tunnel excavation under poor geological conditions is liable to cause ground collapses, reinforcement measures are necessary to reduce construction risks. The stability of a tunnel face that was reinforced using horizontal pre-grouting was investigated through numerical simulation and theoretical analysis in this study. An analytical model was developed using the limit equilibrium method and taking into account the impact of horizontal grouting reinforcement (HGR) on the tunnel face. Subsequently, a comprehensive numerical simulation was conducted to confirm the validity of the model. By performing a parametric analysis, it was found that the limit support pressure exhibited a linear relationship with the cohesion and friction angle. In addition, the limit support pressure is more sensitive to changes in the cohesion and friction angle than changes in the stiffness ratio and thickness of HGR. The HGR more effectively decreases the limit support pressure in conditions of low cohesion (or friction angle) compared with conditions of high cohesion (or friction angle).
