The invention relates to the technical field of indoor
model test and particularly relates to an indoor test model for the
frost heaving force of tunnels in cold regions and a testing method thereof. The indoor test model comprises a model box, a cold bath
system and a
data acquisition system used for acquiring
monitoring data, wherein the model box is internally filled with a
simulation surrounding rock which is internally provided with a
simulation secondary lining; the cold bath
system is arranged in the secondary lining; the
data acquisition system comprises a plurality of sensors and a
data acquisition box connected with the sensors; the model box comprises a framework structure and
toughened glass arranged on a framework; in the
simulation space of the framework structure, the simulation surrounding rock and the simulation secondary lining can be used for repeatedly testing for simulating different work conditions; due to the arrangement of the cold bath system, the environment temperatures of different actual work conditions can be simulated, and the data acquisition system is used for acquiring
monitoring data, thus facilitating the analysis in later stage. According to the invention, the structure is accurate, the construction is convenient, and the distribution rules of the
frost heaving forces in the tunnels in the cold regions under different work conditions can be measured, thus providing basis for the design of the tunnels in the cold regions.
