[0002] Tunnel engineering refers to a series of construction works built underground, underwater and in mountainous areas. According to different locations, tunnels can be divided into three types: mountain tunnel, underwater tunnel and urban tunnel. Tunnel engineering greatly facilitates the construction of traffic lines and promotes the development of the transportation industry. In the long-term operation of tunnels, the secondary lining of the tunnel may have cracks due to the influence of vehicle vibration, temperature stress and temperature deformation caused by cement hydration, geological changes and the like, thereby bringing certain safety hazards to the operation of the tunnel. Therefore, the tunnel needs to be detected regularly, cracks are found in time and repaired, and safety hazards are reduced.
