Model Test on Impact of Surrounding Rock Deterioration on Segmental Lining Structure for Underwater Shield Tunnel with Large Cross-Section

Abstract Based on Guangzhou Shiziyang Tunnel, a large-scale model test of segment lining structure was conducted to study the impact of surrounding rock deterioration. The results showed the outflow or deterioration of surrounding rock at the hence could make the stress state at the bottom and crown more serious. And it is very important to provide effective surrounding rock resistance to ensure the safety of tunnel structure.
