An analytical solution for the seepage field in water-filled karst tunnel is derived based on the inversion of complex function and groundwater hydraulics theory. e solution considers the distance between the tunnel and the cavern, the size of the cavern, and the properties of the lining structure, such as the permeability coefficient as well as the radius of the grouting ring. is paper also performed numerical simulations for two cases: the application of gravity and the absence of gravity. e numerical solution was obtained to verify the analytical solution, and a good agreement was found. en, the effect of parameters is discussed in detail, including the distance between the tunnel and the cavern, the radius of the cavern, the grouting ring, and the initial support. e results show that when the radius of the cavern is constant, the pressure head and seepage flow decrease as the distance between the tunnel and the cavern increases. When the distance is constant, the pressure head and seepage flow increase with the increase of the radius of the cavern. In addition, the pressure head and the seepage flow decrease with the increase of the thickness of the grouting ring and decrease with the decrease of the permeability coefficient. As the thickness of the initial support increases, the pressure head gradually increases and the percolation decreases. Furthermore, due to the great influence of the grouting ring and initial support on the pressure head and seepage flow, the thickness and permeability coefficient of the grouting ring and initial support should be taken into account carefully during construction. 1. Introduction In recent years, with the development of the Belt and Road strategy, the construction of tunnels has developed rapidly. And it is possible to build a tunnel in the karst zone in southwestern China. e karst water has a great influence on the construction of the tunnel. Its seepage causes karst tunnel water gushing, and it is easy to cause tunnel de- formation and other disasters when the water volume is too large. erefore, it is important to study the distribution of seepage field in karst tunnels. e analysis of seepage field in karst tunnels generally uses analytical method and numerical simulation. Based on well mapping theory and superposition principle, Zhang [1] deduced the potential function and distribution of water head in the karst tunnel, but did not study the influence of karst water on tunnel lining structure. Zhang [2] derived the analytical solution of the seepage field of a semiinfinite parallel double-hole tunnel through the seepage mechanics and image method. Yang et al. [3] studied the effect of seismic loading on the double-sided slope of high water content sandy clay. Wu [4] deduced the analytic solution of the complex variable function for the distribution of high water pressure seepage field according to the conformal mapping theory. Park et al. [5] compared two existing analytical solutions for the steady-state groundwater inflow into a drained circular tunnel in a semiinfinite aquifer. Some researchers used the theory of hydraulics and complex functions to solve the analytical solution of seepage field of underwater tunnel composed of surrounding rocks and lining structures [6–9]. Based on the theory of the growth of pore pressure caused by linear waves, Xiong et al. [10] developed an analytical solution of the seepage field of a tunnel affected by the wave in the semiinfinite aquifer. Ma et al. [11, 12] carried out some experimental investigations on hydraulic characteristics and seepage characteristics. Lei [13] acquired an analytical solution for steady flow into a tunnel based on the image method. Huangfu et al. [14] studied analytical solutions for steady groundwater flowing into a horizontal tunnel in the semiinfinite aquifer.

1 Introduction

In recent years with the development of the Belt and Roadstrategy the construction of tunnels has developed rapidlyAnd it is possible to build a tunnel in the karst zone insouthwestern China)e karst water has a great influence onthe construction of the tunnel Its seepage causes karsttunnel water gushing and it is easy to cause tunnel de-formation and other disasters when the water volume is toolarge )erefore it is important to study the distribution ofseepage field in karst tunnels

)e analysis of seepage field in karst tunnels generallyuses analytical method and numerical simulation Based onwell mapping theory and superposition principle Zhang [1]deduced the potential function and distribution of waterhead in the karst tunnel but did not study the influence ofkarst water on tunnel lining structure Zhang [2] derived theanalytical solution of the seepage field of a semiinfiniteparallel double-hole tunnel through the seepage mechanicsand image method Yang et al [3] studied the effect of

However most of the aforementioned literature havestudied high hydraulic pressure tunnels or high hydraulicparallel tunnels in a semiinfinite plane )ere is less ana-lytical formula for the distribution of seepage field in karsttunnels )erefore based on the inversion of complexfunction and groundwater hydraulics theory this paperdeduces the distribution of seepage field in karst tunnels andcalculates the amount of seepage )e formula related topressure head and tunnel seepage is deduced from the re-lationship between the grouting ring initial support andsecondary lining )e results are compared with the nu-merical solutions of the two cases of gravity and no gravity)e change of lining structure characteristics such asgrouting circle and initial support is discussed in detail It ishelpful for us to have a deeper understanding of un-derground water seepage in karst tunnels and to take ef-fective measures to reduce the harmful effects of karst wateron tunnels so as to provide references for such problems inthe future

2 Calculation Model

)e schematic diagram of the karst tunnel in an infiniteplane is shown in Figure 1 Here q is the water pressure inthe karst cavern a is the tunnel radius and d is the distancebetween the center of the tunnel and the karst cavernAdditionally the basic assumptions are as follows

(1) )e surrounding rock of the tunnel is homogeneouswith isotropic permeability [5]

(2) )e aquifer and karst water are incompressible )eflow is in a steady state and is governed by Darcyrsquoslaw [13]

(3) Due to the long distance from the tunnel to thesurface it is assumed that the plane where the karsttunnel is located is an infinite plane and the seepagefield is only affected by karst water

(4) When studying the lining structure the pore pres-sure is constant on the same ring and the water-filling hole is equal to the water pressure head [7]

3 Analytical Solution of Seepage Field

31 Analytical Method Considering the characteristics ofkarst tunnels the inversion of complex functions andgroundwater hydraulics is used to analyze the seepage fieldof karst tunnels )e solution steps are as follows

(a) According to the complex potential function of thepoint source and the inverse transformation relationthe mirror image points a2z0 of z0 in the tunnel areobtained and the complex potential function at anyplace in the seepage plane of the karst tunnel issolved

(b) )rough the resetting potential at any place in theseepage plane of the karst tunnel the potentialfunction flow function and complex velocity of theseepage field in the karst tunnel are solved

(c) )e seepage flow and pressure head are obtained bythe boundary conditions and the head pressure andthe seepage flow in each lining structure were solvedaccording to the relationship of the lining structures

32 Analysis of Complex Potential Function )e water-filledcavern existing outside the tunnel is treated as a constantpoint source and the inversion of the cavern and tunnel isshown in Figure 2 In the infinite plane where the tunnelradius is a there is a cavern with the water pressure q atz0 x0 + iy0 outside the tunnel )e cavern is considered asa point source After the inversion transformation a cavernwith the same intensity is generated at a2z0 which iscalculated as a point sink )e complex potential function ofthe point z x + iy in the infinite plane of the point sourcez0 x0 + iy0 is

4 Verification and Discussion

41 Numerical Verification Based on the complex functionand groundwater hydraulics theory the distribution ofseepage field suitable for homogeneous and isotropic karsttunnels and lining structures were deduced In order to

ensure the accuracy of the analytical solution of the karsttunnel the numerical solution simulated by the finite dif-ference software FLAC3D is compared with the theoreticalsolution obtained by the method used in this paper

)e calculation conditions are listed as follows the headpressure of the cavern is 54m the radius of the cavern is 4mthe radius of the tunnel is 725m the radius of the groutingcircle is 225m and the initial support radius is 025m thepermeability coefficient of surrounding rocks is15times10minus6 cmmiddotsminus1 the permeability coefficient of groutingring is 10minus7 cmmiddotsminus1 the initial support permeability co-efficient of initial support is 10minus8 cmmiddotsminus1

Six groups of 100mtimes 100m models of caverns on theright side of the tunnel were established and calculated withFLAC3D )e pore water pressure of the tunnel with gravityand without gravity was obtained respectively )e sixgroups of models are d 15 m d 20 m d 25 md 30 m d 35 m and d 40 m When d 20 m thekarst tunnel model consists of 4236 elements as shown inFigure 4 Figures 5 and 6 are contours of zone pore pressurewith gravity and without gravity respectively

)e pore water pressures extracted from the six groups ofnumerical simulation data in Figure 5 with gravity andFigure 6 without gravity are compared with the theoreticalsolutions )e results are shown in Figure 7 )e law ob-tained by numerical and theoretical solutions is that whenthe grouting ring and the initial support are completed andthe secondary lining is not yet completed H1 decreases withthe increase of d Moreover the curves have a good con-sistency When d 15 m the analytical solution for H1 is2578m the numerical solution with gravity is 2567m andthe numerical solution without gravity is 2577m)ereforethe analytical method in this paper is suitable for solving thedistribution of seepage field in karst tunnels

43 0e Effect of Grouting Ring When the diameter of thegrouting ring and the initial support radius is constant thetunnel radius and the thickness of the grouting ring increaseFigures 10ndash13 show that H1 and Q gradually decrease withthe increase of the thickness of the grouting ring when theratio between the distance and the permeability coefficient isconstant When the thickness of the grouting ring was025m and a reached 6m Q and H1 decreased to 4194and 4186 respectively When a is constant H1 and Q

gradually decrease as the permeability coefficient decreasesWhen a increases to 7m the rate of H1 and Q decreasegradually From Figures 12 and 13 when a is constant H1

becomes smaller as the seepage coefficient of the groutingring decreases When kr kk1 increases to 80 Q decreasesto 224 of Q when kr 5 and the Q reduction rategradually decreases In summary increasing the thickness ofthe grouting ring and reducing the permeability coefficientof the grouting ring can reduce Q and H1 However ex-cessively increasing the thickness of the grouting ring willnot only increase the cost but also reduce the impact on thepressure head and seepage flow )erefore a reasonablegrouting material and construction process should be se-lected to ensure the thickness of the grouting ring when thepermeability coefficient of the grouting ring is less than thespecified value

However most of the aforementioned literature havestudied high hydraulic pressure tunnels or high hydraulicparallel tunnels in a semiinfinite plane )ere is less ana-lytical formula for the distribution of seepage field in karsttunnels )erefore based on the inversion of complexfunction and groundwater hydraulics theory this paperdeduces the distribution of seepage field in karst tunnels andcalculates the amount of seepage )e formula related topressure head and tunnel seepage is deduced from the re-lationship between the grouting ring initial support andsecondary lining )e results are compared with the nu-merical solutions of the two cases of gravity and no gravity)e change of lining structure characteristics such asgrouting circle and initial support is discussed in detail It ishelpful for us to have a deeper understanding of un-derground water seepage in karst tunnels and to take ef-fective measures to reduce the harmful effects of karst wateron tunnels so as to provide references for such problems inthe future

2 Calculation Model

)e schematic diagram of the karst tunnel in an infiniteplane is shown in Figure 1 Here q is the water pressure inthe karst cavern a is the tunnel radius and d is the distancebetween the center of the tunnel and the karst cavernAdditionally the basic assumptions are as follows

(1) )e surrounding rock of the tunnel is homogeneouswith isotropic permeability [5]

(2) )e aquifer and karst water are incompressible )eflow is in a steady state and is governed by Darcyrsquoslaw [13]

(3) Due to the long distance from the tunnel to thesurface it is assumed that the plane where the karsttunnel is located is an infinite plane and the seepagefield is only affected by karst water

(4) When studying the lining structure the pore pres-sure is constant on the same ring and the water-filling hole is equal to the water pressure head [7]

3 Analytical Solution of Seepage Field

31 Analytical Method Considering the characteristics ofkarst tunnels the inversion of complex functions andgroundwater hydraulics is used to analyze the seepage fieldof karst tunnels )e solution steps are as follows

(a) According to the complex potential function of thepoint source and the inverse transformation relationthe mirror image points a2z0 of z0 in the tunnel areobtained and the complex potential function at anyplace in the seepage plane of the karst tunnel issolved

(b) )rough the resetting potential at any place in theseepage plane of the karst tunnel the potentialfunction flow function and complex velocity of theseepage field in the karst tunnel are solved

(c) )e seepage flow and pressure head are obtained bythe boundary conditions and the head pressure andthe seepage flow in each lining structure were solvedaccording to the relationship of the lining structures

32 Analysis of Complex Potential Function )e water-filledcavern existing outside the tunnel is treated as a constantpoint source and the inversion of the cavern and tunnel isshown in Figure 2 In the infinite plane where the tunnelradius is a there is a cavern with the water pressure q atz0 x0 + iy0 outside the tunnel )e cavern is considered asa point source After the inversion transformation a cavernwith the same intensity is generated at a2z0 which iscalculated as a point sink )e complex potential function ofthe point z x + iy in the infinite plane of the point sourcez0 x0 + iy0 is

4 Verification and Discussion

41 Numerical Verification Based on the complex functionand groundwater hydraulics theory the distribution ofseepage field suitable for homogeneous and isotropic karsttunnels and lining structures were deduced In order to

ensure the accuracy of the analytical solution of the karsttunnel the numerical solution simulated by the finite dif-ference software FLAC3D is compared with the theoreticalsolution obtained by the method used in this paper

)e calculation conditions are listed as follows the headpressure of the cavern is 54m the radius of the cavern is 4mthe radius of the tunnel is 725m the radius of the groutingcircle is 225m and the initial support radius is 025m thepermeability coefficient of surrounding rocks is15times10minus6 cmmiddotsminus1 the permeability coefficient of groutingring is 10minus7 cmmiddotsminus1 the initial support permeability co-efficient of initial support is 10minus8 cmmiddotsminus1

Six groups of 100mtimes 100m models of caverns on theright side of the tunnel were established and calculated withFLAC3D )e pore water pressure of the tunnel with gravityand without gravity was obtained respectively )e sixgroups of models are d 15 m d 20 m d 25 md 30 m d 35 m and d 40 m When d 20 m thekarst tunnel model consists of 4236 elements as shown inFigure 4 Figures 5 and 6 are contours of zone pore pressurewith gravity and without gravity respectively

)e pore water pressures extracted from the six groups ofnumerical simulation data in Figure 5 with gravity andFigure 6 without gravity are compared with the theoreticalsolutions )e results are shown in Figure 7 )e law ob-tained by numerical and theoretical solutions is that whenthe grouting ring and the initial support are completed andthe secondary lining is not yet completed H1 decreases withthe increase of d Moreover the curves have a good con-sistency When d 15 m the analytical solution for H1 is2578m the numerical solution with gravity is 2567m andthe numerical solution without gravity is 2577m)ereforethe analytical method in this paper is suitable for solving thedistribution of seepage field in karst tunnels

tunnel are rw and dWhen rw is constant H1 and Q decreasewith the increase of d When d is constant H1 and Q

gradually increase as rw increases

43 0e Effect of Grouting Ring When the diameter of thegrouting ring and the initial support radius is constant thetunnel radius and the thickness of the grouting ring increaseFigures 10ndash13 show that H1 and Q gradually decrease withthe increase of the thickness of the grouting ring when theratio between the distance and the permeability coefficient isconstant When the thickness of the grouting ring was025m and a reached 6m Q and H1 decreased to 4194and 4186 respectively When a is constant H1 and Q

gradually decrease as the permeability coefficient decreasesWhen a increases to 7m the rate of H1 and Q decreasegradually From Figures 12 and 13 when a is constant H1

becomes smaller as the seepage coefficient of the groutingring decreases When kr kk1 increases to 80 Q decreasesto 224 of Q when kr 5 and the Q reduction rategradually decreases In summary increasing the thickness ofthe grouting ring and reducing the permeability coefficientof the grouting ring can reduce Q and H1 However ex-cessively increasing the thickness of the grouting ring willnot only increase the cost but also reduce the impact on thepressure head and seepage flow )erefore a reasonablegrouting material and construction process should be se-lected to ensure the thickness of the grouting ring when thepermeability coefficient of the grouting ring is less than thespecified value

440e Effect of Initial Support When the inner diameter r1of the grouting ring is constant increasing r2 is to reduce the

4 Verification and Discussion

41 Numerical Verification Based on the complex functionand groundwater hydraulics theory the distribution ofseepage field suitable for homogeneous and isotropic karsttunnels and lining structures were deduced In order to

ensure the accuracy of the analytical solution of the karsttunnel the numerical solution simulated by the finite dif-ference software FLAC3D is compared with the theoreticalsolution obtained by the method used in this paper

)e calculation conditions are listed as follows the headpressure of the cavern is 54m the radius of the cavern is 4mthe radius of the tunnel is 725m the radius of the groutingcircle is 225m and the initial support radius is 025m thepermeability coefficient of surrounding rocks is15times10minus6 cmmiddotsminus1 the permeability coefficient of groutingring is 10minus7 cmmiddotsminus1 the initial support permeability co-efficient of initial support is 10minus8 cmmiddotsminus1

Six groups of 100mtimes 100m models of caverns on theright side of the tunnel were established and calculated withFLAC3D )e pore water pressure of the tunnel with gravityand without gravity was obtained respectively )e sixgroups of models are d 15 m d 20 m d 25 md 30 m d 35 m and d 40 m When d 20 m thekarst tunnel model consists of 4236 elements as shown inFigure 4 Figures 5 and 6 are contours of zone pore pressurewith gravity and without gravity respectively

)e pore water pressures extracted from the six groups ofnumerical simulation data in Figure 5 with gravity andFigure 6 without gravity are compared with the theoreticalsolutions )e results are shown in Figure 7 )e law ob-tained by numerical and theoretical solutions is that whenthe grouting ring and the initial support are completed andthe secondary lining is not yet completed H1 decreases withthe increase of d Moreover the curves have a good con-sistency When d 15 m the analytical solution for H1 is2578m the numerical solution with gravity is 2567m andthe numerical solution without gravity is 2577m)ereforethe analytical method in this paper is suitable for solving thedistribution of seepage field in karst tunnels

tunnel are rw and dWhen rw is constant H1 and Q decreasewith the increase of d When d is constant H1 and Q

gradually increase as rw increases

43 0e Effect of Grouting Ring When the diameter of thegrouting ring and the initial support radius is constant thetunnel radius and the thickness of the grouting ring increaseFigures 10ndash13 show that H1 and Q gradually decrease withthe increase of the thickness of the grouting ring when theratio between the distance and the permeability coefficient isconstant When the thickness of the grouting ring was025m and a reached 6m Q and H1 decreased to 4194and 4186 respectively When a is constant H1 and Q

gradually decrease as the permeability coefficient decreasesWhen a increases to 7m the rate of H1 and Q decreasegradually From Figures 12 and 13 when a is constant H1

becomes smaller as the seepage coefficient of the groutingring decreases When kr kk1 increases to 80 Q decreasesto 224 of Q when kr 5 and the Q reduction rategradually decreases In summary increasing the thickness ofthe grouting ring and reducing the permeability coefficientof the grouting ring can reduce Q and H1 However ex-cessively increasing the thickness of the grouting ring willnot only increase the cost but also reduce the impact on thepressure head and seepage flow )erefore a reasonablegrouting material and construction process should be se-lected to ensure the thickness of the grouting ring when thepermeability coefficient of the grouting ring is less than thespecified value

440e Effect of Initial Support When the inner diameter r1of the grouting ring is constant increasing r2 is to reduce the

If the initial diameter r2 and a are constant increasing r1means increasing the thickness of the initial support andreducing the thickness of the grouting ring In Figures 16

and 17 with the increase of r1 H1 gradually increases and Q

gradually decreasesAs shown in Figures 18 and 19 the permeability

coefficient of grouting ring is constant and H1 graduallydecreases and Q gradually increases with the increase ofk2 )e change rate of Q and H1 is larger whenk2 lt 10minus8 cmmiddotsminus1 When k2 2 times 10minus8 cmmiddotsminus1 both Q andH1 tend to be stable When the other conditions areconstant the change of k2 on the magnitude of 10minus8 haslittle effect on Q and H1 but the influence on themagnitude of 10minus9 is greater

4 Verification and Discussion

41 Numerical Verification Based on the complex functionand groundwater hydraulics theory the distribution ofseepage field suitable for homogeneous and isotropic karsttunnels and lining structures were deduced In order to

ensure the accuracy of the analytical solution of the karsttunnel the numerical solution simulated by the finite dif-ference software FLAC3D is compared with the theoreticalsolution obtained by the method used in this paper

)e calculation conditions are listed as follows the headpressure of the cavern is 54m the radius of the cavern is 4mthe radius of the tunnel is 725m the radius of the groutingcircle is 225m and the initial support radius is 025m thepermeability coefficient of surrounding rocks is15times10minus6 cmmiddotsminus1 the permeability coefficient of groutingring is 10minus7 cmmiddotsminus1 the initial support permeability co-efficient of initial support is 10minus8 cmmiddotsminus1

Six groups of 100mtimes 100m models of caverns on theright side of the tunnel were established and calculated withFLAC3D )e pore water pressure of the tunnel with gravityand without gravity was obtained respectively )e sixgroups of models are d 15 m d 20 m d 25 md 30 m d 35 m and d 40 m When d 20 m thekarst tunnel model consists of 4236 elements as shown inFigure 4 Figures 5 and 6 are contours of zone pore pressurewith gravity and without gravity respectively

)e pore water pressures extracted from the six groups ofnumerical simulation data in Figure 5 with gravity andFigure 6 without gravity are compared with the theoreticalsolutions )e results are shown in Figure 7 )e law ob-tained by numerical and theoretical solutions is that whenthe grouting ring and the initial support are completed andthe secondary lining is not yet completed H1 decreases withthe increase of d Moreover the curves have a good con-sistency When d 15 m the analytical solution for H1 is2578m the numerical solution with gravity is 2567m andthe numerical solution without gravity is 2577m)ereforethe analytical method in this paper is suitable for solving thedistribution of seepage field in karst tunnels

tunnel are rw and dWhen rw is constant H1 and Q decreasewith the increase of d When d is constant H1 and Q

gradually increase as rw increases

43 0e Effect of Grouting Ring When the diameter of thegrouting ring and the initial support radius is constant thetunnel radius and the thickness of the grouting ring increaseFigures 10ndash13 show that H1 and Q gradually decrease withthe increase of the thickness of the grouting ring when theratio between the distance and the permeability coefficient isconstant When the thickness of the grouting ring was025m and a reached 6m Q and H1 decreased to 4194and 4186 respectively When a is constant H1 and Q

gradually decrease as the permeability coefficient decreasesWhen a increases to 7m the rate of H1 and Q decreasegradually From Figures 12 and 13 when a is constant H1

becomes smaller as the seepage coefficient of the groutingring decreases When kr kk1 increases to 80 Q decreasesto 224 of Q when kr 5 and the Q reduction rategradually decreases In summary increasing the thickness ofthe grouting ring and reducing the permeability coefficientof the grouting ring can reduce Q and H1 However ex-cessively increasing the thickness of the grouting ring willnot only increase the cost but also reduce the impact on thepressure head and seepage flow )erefore a reasonablegrouting material and construction process should be se-lected to ensure the thickness of the grouting ring when thepermeability coefficient of the grouting ring is less than thespecified value

440e Effect of Initial Support When the inner diameter r1of the grouting ring is constant increasing r2 is to reduce the

If the initial diameter r2 and a are constant increasing r1means increasing the thickness of the initial support andreducing the thickness of the grouting ring In Figures 16

and 17 with the increase of r1 H1 gradually increases and Q

gradually decreasesAs shown in Figures 18 and 19 the permeability

coefficient of grouting ring is constant and H1 graduallydecreases and Q gradually increases with the increase ofk2 )e change rate of Q and H1 is larger whenk2 lt 10minus8 cmmiddotsminus1 When k2 2 times 10minus8 cmmiddotsminus1 both Q andH1 tend to be stable When the other conditions areconstant the change of k2 on the magnitude of 10minus8 haslittle effect on Q and H1 but the influence on themagnitude of 10minus9 is greater

gradually decrease as the permeability coefficient decreasesWhen a increases to 7m the rate of H1 and Q decreasegradually From Figures 12 and 13 when a is constant H1

becomes smaller as the seepage coefficient of the groutingring decreases When kr kk1 increases to 80 Q decreasesto 224 of Q when kr 5 and the Q reduction rategradually decreases In summary increasing the thickness ofthe grouting ring and reducing the permeability coefficientof the grouting ring can reduce Q and H1 However ex-cessively increasing the thickness of the grouting ring willnot only increase the cost but also reduce the impact on thepressure head and seepage flow )erefore a reasonablegrouting material and construction process should be se-lected to ensure the thickness of the grouting ring when thepermeability coefficient of the grouting ring is less than thespecified value
