Abstract:
To study the frost heave problem of surrounding rock in cold-region tunnels caused by the phase change of pore water under low-temperature conditions, a coupled hydro-thermal-mechanical numerical model was developed based on the Dalu No.2 tunnel project using the finite element simulation platform COMSOL Multiphysics. The model was used to analyze the distribution characteristics of frost heave pressure in the surrounding rock under different frost heave rates and freezing depths. The results show that with the increase of frost heave rate and freezing depth within the surrounding rock, the frost heave force at each position of surrounding rock of tunnel in cold area increases gradually, and the frost heave force at each position of tunnel surrounding rock from large to small is arch foot, arch shoulder, vault and inverted arch. With the increase of surrounding rock grade, the frost heave pressure of the tunnel surrounding rock gradually decreases under the same frost heave rate and freezing depth, which is consistent with the theoretical calculation results. The evolution characteristics of frost heave pressure at monitoring points within the surrounding rock indicate that the magnitude of frost heave pressure in soil tunnels is closely related to the frost heave rate and freezing depth within the surrounding rock. The greater the frost heave rate and freezing depth, the wider the area of the surrounding rock affected by frost heave, and the more prone the tunnel is to frost-related damage. During tunnel construction, it is essential to enhance anti-frost measures, particularly at the arch foot and arch shoulder, to ensure the tunnel safety operation in the long term.
