SchemeMileageCracked or notCause of crackingStructural safety

IDK390 + 786∼DK390 + 520Along the longitudinal direction of the tunnel, a continuous crack and dislocation of about 180 m occurred on the left and right arch waistOn the action of surrounding rock pressure, the primary support at the arch waist bears great hoop stress, and the structure is compressed, and shear failure occursBoth the left and right arches were damaged, and the structure is unsafe

IIDK390 + 520∼DK390 + 168The left and right arches are easy to produce diagonal cracks and longitudinal cracks of about 1 m in lengthChanging the scheme increases the rigidity of the structure, but the internal force of the structure increases. Once the internal force of the structure is greater than the ultimate strength of the material, the structure will crackCracking, peeling, and falling pieces occur at the arch waist, and the structural safety is insufficient

IIIDK390 + 168∼DK390 + 152Longitudinal cracks above the SRLDThe weak surface formed by the shotcrete above the SRLD is easy to crack and peel offThe vertical steel plate of the SRLD deforms and only accounts for about 10%, and the amount of deformation is less than 10% of the design estimate, and the structure is safe
