Influence of Ground Temperature on Shotcrete-to-Rock Adhesion in Tunnels

Table 3

Tunnel comprehensive cooling method statistics.

Tunnel nameProject overviewComprehensive measures

Anfang Tunnel (Japan)The water inrush temperature reaches 73°C(1) Chemical liquid grouting for 2 m outside the upper half section of the tunnel
(2) Discharge the geothermal water with a water pump

A water diversion tunnel in Xinjiang (China)The maximum temperature of the excavation surface reaches 67°C(1) Spray watering
The maximum temperature in the drilling hole is 82°C(2) Set up drilling equipment with its own circulating water
(3) Reasonably arrange the high-temperature operation

Niangyong hydropower station diversion tunnel (China)The ambient temperature after blasting is 48°C(1) The spray cooling system is used to cool the environment inside the cave
The temperature of the rock surface is 52°C(2) Cooling circulation system is used to cool the blast hole of the excavation face

Luquan lead factory diversion tunnel (China)The temperature of the local surrounding rock is 76°C(1) Spray watering
(2) Insulate high-temperature surrounding rock and add 0.03% high efficiency air-entraining agent to spray concrete
(3) For the digging puddles in the high-water temperature section, the water pump is used to discharge the hot water
(4) Transporting ice cubes to the excavation surface
