Parametric support for calculations of long-term stability of structures during construction and reconstruction of buildings in the territory of development of weak water-saturated sandy-clay sediments

Article preview

The main leading factors (changes in the stress state of rocks at the base of structures, physico-chemical and biochemical conditions) determining the long-term stability of surface structures are analyzed. It is noted that filtration consolidation is not of practical importance when considering the compressibility of rocks. The influence of physico-chemical factors on sandy-clayey rocks is evident when polluted by runoff with a wide range of mineralization and composition. The effect of intensification of microbial activity, during which biochemical gases are formed and the increase in the content of bacterial mass, on reducing the strength and deformation capacity of clayey rocks is particularly emphasized. It was found that the transformed clay rocks are usually characterized by the presence of quasi-plastic state.

Evaluation of the influence of the blast pulse on the parameters of the blast funnel

Article preview

The influence of the duration of the explosive pulse on the size of the resulting crater is investigated. Various factors affecting its size are considered. For this purpose, experiments were carried out at the mines of AO Sevuralboksitruda. It is established that the radius of the explosive funnel is equal to the radius of distribution of a wave of stresses for the duration of an explosive load, defined depending on the point of initiation of a charge, and cannot exceed the size of the radius of a cracking zone at influence on a monolithic rock massif by energy of explosion of an elongated charge. The minimum length of the charge, providing the maximum possible size of the blast funnel radius, depends on the initiation scheme, the detonation rate of the explosive used, physical and mechanical properties of rocks of the blasted massif and is determined by the obtained formulas.

Rock structure and scale effect

Article preview

Under conditions of uniaxial compression at strain rate variation from 10 +2 to 10 -8 s -1, samples of natural rock salt were investigated for strength. For the first time, a 40% drop in strength in the range of high speeds and a decrease in the work of fracture by tens of times were found, which contradicts the kinetic concepts. Experiments carried out on salt samples artificially produced by pressing at a pressure of 700 MPa showed good agreement with kinetic representations. The difference in the properties of natural salt and artificially prepared samples is explained by the difference in their structure: natural salt is characterized by a large scattering of structural crystallite sizes.

Problems of calculation of mine workings and underground structures lining

Article preview

The problems of calculation of mine workings' supports and underground structures' coverings, connected with application of the currently recognized provisions of the theory (mechanics) of underground structures to concrete objects of underground construction, are considered. According to the principle of interaction of shielding (lining) with an array of rocks, the stress state of underground structures depends on the characteristics of the initial field of stresses in the array, as well as the deformation characteristics of the rock material of structures. A special and significant role is played by the influence of underground construction technology to control the stress state of support structures. The correctness and reliability of the calculation also depends on the calculation methods used.

Specific features of the formation of the vertical load on the column lining of the "Komendantsky Prospekt" subway station

Article preview

The paper shows the nature of formation of the vertical load on the column-type lining of the "Komendantsky Prospekt" station of the St. Petersburg subway deep-laid with regard to the technology of its construction. On the basis of numerous field studies, mathematical modeling by the finite element method (FEM) was carried out. The three-dimensional elastic and viscoelastic models at various stages of the station construction were used for the calculations. The calculations resulted in the construction of epures of vertical load distribution on the deep-filled metro station column lining. The character and regularities of its formation without and taking into account the influence of the middle tunnel face were revealed.
