Abstract

To ensure the stability of the tunnel structure, this paper simulates the excavation process of shield tunneling in karst areas, and monitors the top of the arch, the bottom of the arch and the waist of the arch within the influence of the cave. It obtains the displacement and stress change laws under the influence of the upper cave and the lower cave. Finally, the main factors causing karst collapse in tunnels are explored through orthogonal tests. The results indicate that the displacement of the surrounding rock within the influence of the cave decreases and the stress increases. When the cavity and the tunnel reach the safety limit distance, the effect of the lower cavity on the stress around the tunnel is more obvious than that of the upper cavity. The results of the orthogonal test show that when the cavity is above the tunnel, the tunnel burial depth has the greatest influence on the stability of the surrounding rock; when the cavity is below the tunnel, the cavity height has the greatest influence on the stability of the surrounding rock.
