Structure analysis for tunnel longitudinal deformation based on segment dislocation mode

According to tunnel structure around joints, tunnel longitudinal deformation is analyzed and a three-dimensional finite element model is built based on segment dislocation mode. Tunnel structure stress analysis is conducted from two aspects of segment in the shear and bolt in the tension. The analysis results show: (1) Segment shear model. When segment dislocation reaches 0.03 mm, the principal stresss 1 exceeds 3.0 Mpa which is over concrete's tensile strength. Therefore, when convex tenon and concave tenon generate shear, there must be horizontal slipping and bolt is tensioned. (2) Bolt tension model. When joint opening value reaches 2 mm, bolt stress exceeds 640Mpa, which is bolt's yield strength. When joint opening value reaches 6 mm, which is the waterproof control standard for tunnel, bolt stress reaches 688.7Mpa, which is less than bolt's failure strength. The subway tunnel's structure safety should be controlled from the perspective of waterproof. ? 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.EI
