Abstract:The test pressure for determining the coefficient of collapsibility is much greater than the actual pressure according to the specification. The norm is partially conservative. For the accidental design condition of loess immersion and collapsibility, the results of comparison, calculation and analysis through the accidental composition, basic combination and standard combination show that the loess immersed and collapsible condition is uncontrolled condition. By reducing the water supply, isolating the water and discharging the water out of the influence area of the tunnel, the occurrence of collapse settlement can be effectively reduced.
