Abstract

A top-down sequential-building construction method for deep and large vertical shaft cavern groups is provided. The construction method includes the following steps. A preparation is made for a construction. A vertical shaft locking beam is constructed. A vertical shaft is constructed. A post-construction maintenance is performed. The vertical shaft is constructed through a staged construction, which includes the following steps: S 1 , constructing from a vertical shaft surface to a contact air channel elevation; S 2 , constructing a contact air channel; S 3 , constructing from the contact air channel elevation to a vertical shaft bottom. Both constructing from the vertical shaft surface to the contact air channel elevation and from the contact air channel elevation to the vertical shaft bottom include constructing a lining structure from bottom to top.

Claims
