TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of tunnel engineering, and more particularly, relates to a multi-working-condition model tunnel test device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Due to the multi-joint structural characteristics of the shield tunnel and the large difference in longitudinal load of the stratum where the shield tunnel is located, the shield tunnel is prone to joint leakage. Joint leakage has a great impact on the durability of the shield tunnel structure and also poses a great threat to driving safety. Research on joint leakage of the shield tunnel helps to ensure the safety of the tunnel structure and prolong its service life. In order to understand the position in the tunnel cross section where leakage is most likely to occur and the influence of different joint leakage positions on the model tunnel, current model test devices are generally used to simulate tests on the shield tunnel according to the similarity theory, so as to study the severity, leakage trend, and pipe stress and earth pressure at the leakage position of joint leakage at different positions and to different degrees.

Although some model tunnel test devices can simulate the underground water leakage condition, the water pressure borne by the model tunnel under this condition is small, and it cannot be applied to the simulation test of the shield tunnel crossing the river or the sea under the condition of large water pressure and turbulent water flow.
