Research and application of comprehensive detection methods for geological structural planes in drill and blast tunnels

Abstract

At present, the detection of geological structural plane that give rise to rockburst is a complex problem. A large number of rockburst cases show that the geological structural plane influence the boundary of rockburst, especially the slip-type rockburst of structural plane. However, there is no set of comprehensive geological prediction methods at home and abroad for the detection of geological structural plane that give rise to rockburst, or low accuracy and high workload. Therefore, a method that can effectively detect geological structural plane is needed. Based on the analysis of regional engineering geological characteristics and geostress, this paper puts forward that based on the characteristics of rockburst cases in high geostress area and the rockburst prone to occur in the position with large geostress difference, the method of “combination of long and short geophysical prospecting method first, drilling and engineering geological analysis combination” is adopted to detect geological structural plane finely. The results show that: (1) Under the background of regional engineering geological survey and geostress inversion, the comprehensive geological prediction is carried out to detect the geological structural plane. The TSP has the detection accuracy of 10 m to meters, the ground penetrating radar has the detection accuracy of meters to decimeters, and the borehole imaging has the observation accuracy of centimeters. The combination of the three can multi-scale clearly reflect the distribution of geological structural plane compared with the previous single geological prediction. (2) Due to the complex distribution of surrounding rock mass interface and geological structural plane, the collapse phenomenon will also appear in the rockburst area on site, and the collapse causes a number of structural plane, which means that these structural plane becomes an important factor in slip-type rockburst of structural plane. In short, accurate detection of geological structural plane has certain reference significance for predicting the boundary of slip-type rockburst of structural plane and collapse.
