Abstract:Based on a typical engineering example, the calculation model of the foundation pit excavation and operation of tunnel is established by using finite element software. The mechanical response characteristics of high-voltage tower under the influence of tunnel construction and operation are revealed. This study shows that the high-voltage tower has the risk of tilt, overall instability and partial instability based on the characteristics of mechanical disturbances during the tunnel construction and operation. The maximum lateral displacement generated by the excavation of tunnel foundation pit is 8.5mm, the maximum settlement is 5 mm and the overall stability coefficient is 1.837, which meet the specification requirements and the overall stability. The inclination of the high-voltage tower induced by tunnel excavation and operation is 0.011% and 0.000 7%, which are significantly less than 1% specified in the specification. The influence of the new tunnel construction and operation on the high-voltage tower is controllable, which can ensure the safety and stability of the high-voltage tower. Considering the unpredictable risks in actual construction, it is recommended to set up sleeve valve pipe between the tunnel and the tower for track the grouting in addition to strengthening the real-time monitoring of the whole process.
