Abstract:To study the impact of temperature gradients on the main structure of excavated tunnels, and how to enhance the temperature effect resistance of the structure, prevent and control the cracking of the existing structure caused by temperature, taking an excavated tunnel as the research object, the three-dimensional calculation models are established for the open and buried sections, respectively. For the different temperature gradient conditions, the internal forces of the main structure of excavated tunnels affected by temperature are calculated and analyzed. The research results indicate that the additional internal forces generated by temperature gradients are relatively large, and the impacts on different parts of the structure vary. Under the same temperature gradient, the additional internal forces generated by different tunnel sections vary greatly. The temperature effect in the buried section is more pronounced than that in the open section, which should be given attention in engineering.
