The Application of Fracture Mechanics in Highway Tunnel Lining Cracking

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lining cracks of highway tunnel has a very important effect on the healthy operation of the tunnel. Establishing the model for concrete fracture mechanics evaluation, we could identify the tunnel lining cracking situation. By using Linear elastic fracture mechanics method we could calculate the stress field of crack in the lining. Separately by different depth we have calculated crack stress intensity factor. We get that growing rates of variation of stress intensity factor as the crack depths increase. So lining tunnel health operations severely cracked.
