Investigation on the mechanical properties and support performance of styrene-acrylic emulsion-modified thin spray-on liners as skin support in underground engineering
Thin spray-on liners (TSLs) are recognized as critical innovations in underground engineering, offering rapid-deployment skin support for diverse geotechnical applications. However, cement-based TSLs often suffer from brittleness and limited flexibility. This study investigated the effects of styrene‒acrylic emulsions (SAEs) on the mechanical properties, crack resistance and support performance of cement-based TSLs. Two SAEs with different styrene to butyl acrylate ratios were incorporated at varying contents (0–70 % by liquid mass) into the TSL mixture. A series of mechanical and microstructure tests, including tensile, compressive, flexural, and shear strength tests, XRD, SEM, and MIP, were conducted. The results revealed that both SAEs can enhance the deformation resistance of cement-based TSLs, with SAE1 demonstrating a more pronounced improvement effect. Moreover, both SAEs improved the tensile strength and flexural strength. SAE2 outperformed SAE1 in enhancing the tensile strength (peaking at 40 % SAE2 with 3.6300 MPa) and flexural strength (8.3789 MPa at 40 % SAE2). SAE1 decreased the compressive and shear strengths, whereas SAE2 increased the compressive strength and shear strength. Microstructural analysis showed that the polymer films formed by SAEs bridged the hydration products, densified the matrix, and improved the crack resistance. Moreover, the support performance of SAE-modified TSLs was evaluated through load-bearing compression tests on TSL-coated granite. The results showed that both SAE1- and SAE2-modified TSLs can improve the peak strength and strain of flawed granite. Compared with the uncoated specimens, the TSL-coated specimens showed higher total and elastic energies, but lower brittleness indices. This study provides critical insights into SAE-modified TSLs, offering practical guidelines for optimizing underground support systems.
期刊介绍:
Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology is an international journal which publishes authoritative articles encompassing the development of innovative uses of underground space and the results of high quality research into improved, more cost-effective techniques for the planning, geo-investigation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of underground and earth-sheltered structures. The journal provides an effective vehicle for the improved worldwide exchange of information on developments in underground technology - and the experience gained from its use - and is strongly committed to publishing papers on the interdisciplinary aspects of creating, planning, and regulating underground space.
