Calculation of surrounding rock pressure of large section underground excavation metro station based on the construction process

The traditional calculation method of the surrounding strata pressure of the tunnel does not consider the tunnel construction process. The excavation of the large-section tunnel mostly adopts the section excavation method, which is to excavate and support at the same time. The stress state of the pressure of surrounding strata changes gradually during the excavation process. The traditional calculation results of tunnel surrounding strata pressure are generally large. In this paper, the large-section tunnel is simplified into three parts, and the degree of influence (eta(1), eta(2), eta(3)) of the excavation height h and width b of the advance pilot hole and the distance d between the advance and rear pilot tunnels on the surrounding rock pressure calculation are analyzed. The regression equation for calculating the influencing factors (tunnel depth H, tunnel span B, internal friction angle phi, and rock weight gamma) of surrounding rock pressure (p) is established. Through the numerical analysis, the influence coefficient eta is obtained, the weight coefficient is introduced, and the computing formula of the pressure of surrounding strata of the large-section tunnel excavation is derived. The formula is used to the computing of the pressure of surrounding strata with a large-section subway station and the correct conclusion is obtained.
