Loess Highway Tunnel Construction Process of Three Dimensional Numerical Simulation

Abstract:

In recent years, as China's national sustained and rapid economic development, the state increased investment to middle-western region, promote the regional development of high grade highway. Therefore, highway tunnel through loess area is getting more and more. Due to the special physical properties of loess, it makes the loess tunnel construction a hot topic. To study on the deformation law of the loess highway tunnel, this paper based on the Shanxi Province Guang Ling to Hun Yuan highway tunnel—East Fu Yao tunnel, we simulate the whole section pre-reinforcement construction technique for three dimensional numerical, and combined with field monitoring measurement to compare and analyze in paper
