Abstract:
In order to investigate the ambient temperature control technology for construction of a tunnel near heatconducting fault and with high rock temperature, the cooling effectiveness of the solutions including mechanical ventilation + ice, mechanical ventilation + mist spray and mechanical ventilation + ice + mist spray has been studied under different mechanical ventilation rates by using a tunnel project with high rock temperature as the study case.The results indicate: greater mechanical ventilation rate enables faster cooling rate and greater temperature drop;when mechanical ventilation rate is increased to a certain level, the tunnel cooling effectiveness is no longer improved notably, and other auxiliary measures are needed to further reduce temperature; in cooling by ice, consumption of more ice will bring faster cooling rate and better cooling effectiveness; in the mechanical ventilation + ice +mist spray solution, the average cooling rate is 5.37 °C/min, temperature drop is 53.74 °C and the stable ambient temperature is 26.26 °C, so this solution is the most effective solution for ambient temperature control in tunnel construction; when this temperature control solution is applied on site, the rock temperature at tunnel face is reduced to
46.1°C and the ambient temperature in tunnel is 25~27 °C, which meets the applicable standard.
