  • Increase of efficiency and safety of underground construction on the basis of management of technical, organizational and social and economic factors

    The development of the mining industry calls for an increase in the technical and economic indicators of tunneling operations. At the same time, with increasing speed of construction, intensity and productivity of drifters, the complication of mining and geological conditions exacerbates the problems associated with ensuring the integrated safety of workers in underground conditions. With an increase in the depth of the trunks, the absolute average values ​​of the duration of individual stages of work increase. The average speed of the construction of the trunks varies slightly and is lower than the normative ones. One of the main reasons for this situation is a large loss of time during the construction period and a low level of work safety. The performed studies show that it is necessary, both to increase the technical equipment of construction, and to improve the organization of work and socio-economic working conditions. The best examples from practice show that this allows you to increase labor productivity by 3 times while ensuring high work safety. At the same time, this approach is not yet widely used in modern Russian practice, where the socio-economic situation of the mining industry remains rather severe, and the level of industrial injuries is the highest in comparison with the rest of the economy. The numerical spatial model is a fragment of a rock mass with a size of 80 to 90 meters, in which the tunnel is connected by a span of 6.0 m, adjacent to the vertical trunk. The mating and trunk in the area under consideration are fixed with reinforced concrete lining 500 mm thick. A universal spatial isoparametric eight-node finite element is used to break up the model. The dimensions of the finite elements on the outer regions of the model were 2.5 - 5.0 m, on the inner - 0.25 - 0.5 m. Thus, the principle of combining dense and rarefied grids was used to reduce the amount of information describing the numerical model. The problem was solved in an elastoplastic formulation by a stepwise iteration method. As a result of calculations, all the components of the volumetric stress tensor in the finite elements of the lining and the rock mass, movement and deformation in the nodes of the finite elements were determined. With the help of the developed numerical models, a series of calculations was performed, an array of data was obtained on the stress-strain state of the lining in the zone of coupling effect, quantitative and qualitative analysis was performed. It is established that in characteristic zones of the influence of conjugations, a significant increase in the intensity of equivalent stresses is observed, which leads to a reduction in the load-bearing capacity of the lining by 2 times or more in comparison with extended sections of underground structures. To increase the efficiency of maintaining interfaces during tunnel operation, it is necessary to justify the control actions taking into account the dynamics of changes in the stress-strain state of the lining in space and time.
