The Muzhailing highway extra-long tunnel is affected by high geostress, and during the construction, large deformation of soft rock frequently occurred. Taking this as the research background, the high-prestressed constant resistance and large deformation anchor cable support scheme was proposed. In the field test, the indicators of three support schemes were compared, including the convergence deformation of surrounding rock, the deep displacement of surrounding rock, the axial force of anchor cable and bolt, and the stress between primary support and surrounding rock. The field test results show that: under the support of bolts, the cumulative deformation of surrounding rock exceeded 1500 mm, and the primary support damage was serious; In the second scheme, under the support of 4 m and 5 m long constant resistance anchor cables, although the large deformation of surrounding rock was controlled, the cumulative deformation was about 600 mm; In the third scheme, under the support of 5 m and 10 m long constant resistance anchor cables, the cumulative maximum deformation of surrounding rock was reduced to 216 mm, and all the data of the field test were within the controllable range. Therefore, high prestressed constant resistance and large deformation anchor cable support measures can effectively control the large deformation of surrounding rock.
During the excavation of the Minxian tunnel, problems of large deformations of surrounding rocks and failure of support structures appeared frequently, which caused serious influences on construction safety and costs of the tunnel. Based on laboratory analysis of mineral composition and field investigations on deformation characteristics of the surrounding rocks, the large deformation mechanism of surrounding rocks of the tunnel was considered as water-absorbing swelling molecules of carbonaceous slate and stress-induced asymmetric structural deformations of the surrounding rocks. The structural deformations of surrounding rocks mainly include bending deformation, interlayer sliding, and crushing failure of local rock blocks. Then, a new constant resistance and yielding support technology based on the constant resistance and large deformation (CRLD) anchor cable was proposed to control large deformations of surrounding rocks. The field tests and deformation monitoring were carried out. The monitoring results showed that compared with original support measure, the surrounding rock deformations, stresses of primary supports, and permanent lining using new support technology decreased greatly. Among them, the maximum deformation of surrounding rock was only 73 mm. The effects of field application and results of deformation monitoring showed that the new support technology can effectively control large deformations of the surrounding rocks in the Minxian tunnel.
Given a graph G with n vertices and l edges, the load distribution of a coloring q: V → {red, blue} is defined as dq = (rq, bq), in which rq is the number of edges with at least one end-vertex colored red and bq is the number of edges with at least one end-vertex colored blue. The minimum load coloring problem (MLCP) is to find a coloring q such that the maximum load, lq = 1/l × max{rq, bq}, is minimized. This problem has been proved to be NP-complete. This paper proposes a memetic algorithm for MLCP based on an improved K-OPT local search and an evolutionary operation. Furthermore, a data splitting operation is executed to expand the data amount of global search, and a disturbance operation is employed to improve the search ability of the algorithm. Experiments are carried out on the benchmark DIMACS to compare the searching results from memetic algorithm and the proposed algorithms. The experimental results show that a greater number of best results for the graphs can be found by the memetic algorithm, which can improve the best known results of MLCP.
