    摘要: Systems for forming or extending a tunnel or shaft within a working surface may include a ram accelerator assembly for accelerating a projectile into geologic material to weaken a region of the geologic material. A cutting tool may then be used to remove the weakened material. A collection assembly may be used to move debris away from the working surface while the projectile and cutting operations are performed to enable generally continuous use of the system. The number of projectiles that are accelerated and the rate at which projectiles are used may be controlled based on characteristics of the geologic material and the rate at which created debris may be removed.

    摘要: Disclose are a roadway/tunnel excavation robot and an automatic cutting control method. The robot includes a rack, a moving platform, a supporting and stabilizing mechanism, a milling mechanism, a telescoping mechanism, an inclined cutting feed adjusting mechanism, a horizontal swinging mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a controller. The milling mechanism includes a drive unit, a milling shaft, an eccentric rotary casing, a high-pressure jet nozzle unit, a tension and compression sensor and a direction sensor. Through the deflection of a center line of an inner hole of the eccentric rotary casing, the milling mechanism drives a milling cutter head to carry out a rotational oscillation motion for rock breaking; and the milling cutter head is in discontinuous contact with a rock mass. The telescoping mechanism, the inclined cutting feed adjusting mechanism, the lifting mechanism and the horizontal swinging mechanism are controlled such that the milling mechanism performs coal rocks milling.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for evaluating deep-buried tunnel blasting parameters, and belongs to the technical field of mine engineering. The method comprises: setting multiple diverse blasting schemes; selecting a plurality of test sections with the same geological characteristics, the number of the test sections corresponding to the number of the blasting schemes; blasting the test sections using the blasting schemes, and obtaining diversified monitoring data of each test section; and comparing the diversified monitoring data to select the optimal blasting schemes for the test sections. According to the method for evaluating the deep-buried tunnel blasting parameters, by implementing different blasting schemes in test sections with the same geological characteristics, diversified monitoring data of the test sections are obtained and compared to select the optimal blasting schemes for the test sections, so as to ensure the safety and quality of blasting excavation of deep-buried tunnels.

    摘要: A three-level prevention and control method for a rock burst roadway, the method comprising: pre-weakening a thick and hard rock layer above a roadway before the roadway is excavated; carrying out prestress support, pressure relief and reinforcement when the roadway is excavated; and carrying out stress transfer on an advance abutment pressure, and arranging a composite energy absorption protective structure around the roadway before the mining of a working face. By coordinating the spatio-temporal relationship between pressure relief, support and prevention, the energy dissipation in the rock burst roadway is changed from an unstable, disorderly and uncontrollable dissipation state to a stable, orderly and controllable dissipation state.

    摘要: Jet grouting involves injecting grout into geological material to improve its quality; however, use of jet grouting is limited to situations in which the injection systems can be positioned relatively close to the region to be improved. This can be impractical (for example in heavily built up areas, rough terrain or beneath the seabed) or inconvenient (for example where closing a tunnel would be required). The present invention enables deployment equipment 41 to be passed down a bore in order to deploy material and/or equipment through a hole in the lining of a bore 43 into the underlying geology. In this way, underground assets may be repaired from a location external to the asset, allowing repair in situations where it would be impossible or cost-prohibitive to do so with conventional ground treatment techniques.

    摘要: Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are known that comprise a large metal cylindrical shield fronted by a rotating cutting wheel and containing a chamber where the excavated soil is deposited (and optionally mixed with slurry for extraction, depending on the type of geological/soil conditions). However, TBMs have various disadvantages including the stop-start nature of their tunnelling, and that a single TBM cannot easily transition between different rock/soil types (especially heavily fractured and sheared rock layers). The invention provides a tunnelling shield provided with jet grouting tools arranged to project from a leading edge thereof. In this way, the quality of the geological material into which the tunnel is being excavated may be improved dynamically as part of the excavation process.
