Abstract:

In order to effectively prevent the collapse accidents in the construction of deep underground tunnels, firstly, based on the trajectory intersection theory, the risk factors of tunnel collapse were divided into two categories: people and objects, and the risk index system was analyzed and established. Then, the improved variable weight AHP was used to determine the comprehensive weight of each index, established the risk coupling mutation model, calculated the coupling degree, and analyzed the evolution path of tunnel collapse risk under the influence of human and physical risk factors. At the same time, the influence of random disturbance factors on tunnel collapse risk was considered, and the traditional cusp model was supplemented and improved. Finally, the effectiveness of the risk coupling catastrophe model was verified by an application example of the tailrace pipe maintenance gate chamber on the right bank of Baihetan hydropower station. The results show that the coupling degree of the collapse risk in the tail inspection room is 0.856 2, which is in the strength coupling range, and there is a strong coupling effect among the factors. In addition, when the value range of the random disturbance factor is (-1.287 8, -0.427 2), it will lead to the continuous breeding of potential risks out of control and outbreak, increasing the probability of collapse accidents.
