To study the calculation methods for surrounding rock
pressure of tunnels with small spacing in weak stratum and the influence of
different tunnel spacing and buried depth on surrounding rock pressure, the
theory of three collapse arch is introduced and the boundary depth of deep and
shallow tunnels is established. Then, a tunnel load calculation model is
established based on the road tunnel design specification, the theoretical
calculation formula of surrounding rock pressure is deduced, and the influence
of different spacing and buried depth on pressure of surrounding rock inside
and outside the tunnel is discussed. Finally, a case study is conducted, and
effective reinforcement measures are proposed for the weak middle rock pillars.
The results show the following. (1) The surrounding rock pressure of extremelyshallow and shallowburied tunnels with small clear
spacing can be calculated by entire soil column and Xie Jiaxiao′s theoretical formulas in the standard, that of deepburied tunnel can be calculated by modified Bill Bowman calculation
method. (2) The asymmetrical pressure characteristics of tunnel with small
clear spacing are prominent, and the surrounding rock pressure is approximately
linear with the buried depth. (3) The interaction between the left and right
tunnels decreases with the increase of the clear spacing. When the clear
spacing is greater than one time of the tunnel span, the surrounding rock pressure
can be calculated as a single tunnel. (4) The middle rock pillar is the key and
weak part of the tunnels with small clear spacing in weak stratum. The hollow
grouting bolts and reasonable anchor rod length can effectively restrain the
development of plastic strain, and improve the strength of tensile and shear
strength of surrounding rock.
