A method for determining parameters of cross sections of a single-hole four-lane highway tunnel includes the steps of determining surrounding rock pressure, constructing numerical models under different flatness ratios, calculating interval force of lining structures, calculating safety coefficients of the lining structures, performing contrastive analysis on the cross sections under different flatness ratios, obtaining reasonable cross section forms, and so on. This method provides a basis to formulate the specifications and standards for design of a single-hole four-lane highway tunnel and may provide a reference basis to design a cross section of a single-hole four-lane highway tunnel in new construction or reconstruction and expansion, thereby ensuring safety and economic efficiency of the cross section forms of the single-hole four-lane highway tunnel.

A panel system for the containment of landslides caused by partial collapses and also by “rock breakdowns”, for use in the fortification of mining tunnels, hillsides and roads, together with anchor bolts and plates, comprising a network constituted by straps of metal or other material resistant to traction or with the capacity of tearing along the strap (1) (2) (3), with each node of this network firmly linked with a buckle (6) (7) (8) (16) and with a frame (20) attached to this network, where the frame comprises flat tendons (17) near the perimeter of the panel, linked to plates with lugs (D11) or with flat connectors (12) (13) (14) (15) which go beneath the normal plates.

An interlocking independent tubular with multiple circumferential sections allows a borehole to advance by encasing with a single pass, the structurally independent tubular. The independent tubular is single layered, having a major arc and a minor arc forming circumferential sections. The minor arc may be defined by less than 180 degrees, and the major arc may be a circumferential section defined by greater than 180 degrees. The major arc and minor arc align longitudinally to form the independent tubular. Installation may involve partially radially collapsing the major arc, inserting the major arc and minor arc through a previously installed tubular, reexpanding the major arc and connecting the major arc and minor arc to form the independent tubular downhole from the previously installed tubular, and joining the independent tubular to the previously installed tubular. The tubes may be joined by interlocking female and male ends of the tubes.

A polymer sheet adapted to attach to a material body such as a ceiling of a geological cavity and provide protective cover. The sheet comprises: a webbing portion defining a plurality of primary openings; and two margin portions extending along opposite edges of the sheet on either side of the webbing portion along a length of the sheet, each margin portion defining a plurality of secondary openings, wherein the margin portions are angled relative to the webbing portion.

A method for calculating an earth pressure load on a tunnel includes the following steps: (1) taking interaction between external soil and a tunnel structure in an actual operation condition as an earth pressure load acting on the tunnel structure; (2) establishing a physical model for the tunnel structure; (3) designing, on the basis of the physical model for the tunnel structure, a plurality of structural loads in different operation conditions to obtain a plurality of different structural deformations; and (4) drawing an inference according Betti's theorem, and establishing a physical model for an original structure, such that a load on the original structure, namely an earth pressure load on the tunnel, can be directly calculated according to a load-deformation relationship of the physical model and deformation of the original structure. The above method can determine distribution and size of an actual earth pressure load on a tunnel.

A underground support includes a first row of panels, and a second row of panels configured to be secured to the first series of panels to define an interior space for receiving construction aggregate or concrete. Each panel of the first row of panels and the second row of panels includes a body having a top edge, a bottom edge positioned opposite from the top edge, a left edge, and a right edge positioned opposite from the left edge, with the top edges of the panels of the first row of panels configured to abut the bottom edges of the panels of the second row of panels.

A rock bolt and meshing assembly is arranged for installation of a meshing sheet against a surface of rock strata. The rock bolt includes an adapter having a first portion connectable to a trailing end of an elongate shaft of the rock bolt and means configured to receive and mount a meshing clamp to overlay a second section of meshing sheet against an already laid first section of meshing sheet.

The invention relates to the technology of rib spalling. In the present invention, adjacent support anchors are tightly connected with each other by anchor cables; each of the support anchors are at least connected with an anchor cable tightly extending from four different directions, so that each of the anchor cables constitutes a mesh structure, and a flexible gap corresponding to the thickness of the support anchor is formed between the inner flexible support net and the outer support net at the anchor cable, which not only allows the support anchor to tighten an anchor bolt, but also makes the anchor bolt in the entire region form a whole.
