Vibration Safety of Foundation Pit Enclosure Structure with Thermal Impact Rock Breaking by Dry Ice Powder
This study aimed to establish construction parameters for on-site use of dry ice powder thermal shock breaking and conduct a comprehensive safety evaluation of critical engineering structures.The first field test of dry ice powder thermal shock rock-breaking for tunnel excavation was conducted in an open-cut tunnel near a residential area.Pressure variation curves were captured from the dry ice powder fracturing cylinder using pressure sensors.Concurrently,the tunnel structure's noise and vibration responses during the breaking process were monitored using specialized systems.The Hilbert Huang transform(HHT)was used to decompose and extract features from the vibration signal,and the vibration safety evaluation parameters were determined from the vibration energy time-domain distribution and frequency-domain distribution features.Results show that:① the maximum vibration speed of dry ice pneumatic rock breaking reduces to less than 50 mm·s-1 at a distance of 8 m from the crown beam,complying with safe mass vibration speed requirements.Additionally,the noise level at a distance of 4 m is 83 dB,posing minimal impact on the life of nearby residents;② overall,the vibration speed induced by dry ice rock breaking decays in alignment with the multiplicative power function decay.This decay can be categorized into a zone of slowly decreasing vibration speed(2.5-10 m)and a stable zone(>10 m);③ the rupture pressure of the dry ice powder fracture tube ranges between 40-60 MPa.Dry ice powder thermal shock rock breaking is a collective action of a shock wave and high-energy gas,which fractures the rock and occurs in three stages.The gas wedge of high-energy gas plays a key role in causing rock damage;④ compared to Fourier transform analysis,the HHT is better suited for processing vibration signals.By calculating the vibration's maximum displacement after identifying the vibration velocity peak and main frequency,the safety of the tunnel structure can be more effectively assessed.
