The Influence on Lining Moment of Tunnel under the Local Weakening of Structural Strength of Loess

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of structural strength on the lining moment of tunnel should be properly evaluated in order to meet the engineering demand in loess area. It is essential to analyze and evaluate the lining moment of tunnel by means of the finite element method under the condition of the different local weakening of structural strength in loess. Firstly, some researches on the structural strength of loess tunnel are reviewed. Then, some different cases of the local weakening of structural strength in loess are analyzed in this paper. Numerical results not only indicate that the lining moment of tunnel tends to change obviously with the different local weakening of the structural strength, but also reveal that the weakening location of structural strength has important effect on the distribution and redistribution of the lining moment of tunnel.
