Abstract:Aiming at the issues related to the concrete mix design, construction techniques and feasibility of crack control measures for full-section cast-in-place tunnel pipe segments in high-temperature environments, and based on numerical simulation of the pipe segment geometry, the temperature stress-sensitive areas of the pipe segments are reasonably selected, and two different mix ratios are considered. A full-scale model capable of characterizing the temperature and thermal stress characteristics of the pipe segments is established. An automatic temperature monitoring system is used to conduct on-site simulation casting tests of the immersed tube segments. The early-age temperature distribution and its development characteristics, near-surface temperature tensile stress, and the influence of different mix ratios on the temperature and temperature tensile stress of the pipe segments are systematically studied. The results show that the early-age temperature development of the immersed tube tunnel exhibits a nonlinear characteristic. The temperature drop rate and temperature tensile stress near the surface of the top plate are the largest. With the increase of cementitious materials, the temperature of the pipe segments rises, but the tensile stress near the surface decreases, and the risk of cracking reduces. The experimental data and research results have reference value for similar projects.
