DESIGN AND APPLICATIONS OF A NEW SUPPORTING METHOD FOR THE SMALL TUNNEL SHEDS

In order to meet the requirements of maintaining the original condition of rock faces, avoiding the heavy excavation to protect the ground environment, and reducing support cost of large-span shallow buried cavern, a new supporting method of shallow- buried caverns was proposed in this paper. Such a supporting method was successfully applied to the underground cavern project. For this project, some crisscross small tunnel sheds were embedded in the overburden layer. As a result, the interaction between the surrounding rock and supporting structure can play a significant role in the constructed supporting system, and the surrounding rock can display its self load-bearing capacity in the shallow buried cavern.
