Abstract
Hypogene karst was believed to develop only in small scale in China. However, in construction of China’s deep tunnels, large-scale hypogene karst and corresponding geo-hazards were encountered frequently. The hypogene karst uncovered by deep tunnel construction probably induce water inrushes, mud bursts, karst collapses and even geo-hazards chains. Understanding the potential geo-hazard mechanism induced by hypogene karst is significant for both karst tunnel construction and hypogene karst evolution research. Typical cases of hypogene karst geo-hazards encountered during construction of China’s deep tunnels such as Zhongliangshan tunnel group, Yuanliangshan tunnel, Yesanguan tunnel and Dayaoshan tunnel, were presented. Large-scale fold controlling model, large-scale water-rich fault model and complex tectonic deformation model based on tectonic deformation patterns and intensity were proposed and analyzed for the mechanisms of geo-hazards of hypogene karst in the tunnel construction. It can act as a model reference for hypogene karst geo-hazards prevention and control in karst tunnel construction.
