Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel engineering, and in particular to a ductile segment suitable for a fracture zone and a simulation experiment device and experiment method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In actual engineering, subway shield tunnels inevitably pass through some adverse geological zones, such as water-rich sand layers and fracture zones. With the continuous development of rail transit and underground space, in order to meet the demand for transportation, many tunnels under construction or to be constructed inevitably need to pass through fracture zones. However, under the action of an earthquake, a fracture zone will produce a large shear force and displacement dislocation, which may cause the shield segment joint to open, thereby causing structural leakage and local damage to the concrete. Therefore, in terms of mitigating the effects of an earthquake, some technologies have studied the internal structure of a shield tunnel segment and designed a segment suitable for passing through an active fault. Since a fracture zone not only dislocates under an earthquake, but also accumulates strain energy through continuous slow creep, it suddenly dislocates after reaching a limit. Some researchers have studied the peripheral maintenance structure of a segment to alleviate the deformation of the segment caused by the creep dislocation of a fracture zone. Meanwhile, a model experiment has been used to simulate the influence of the creep dislocation of a fracture zone on a tunnel structure.

[0003] Since the construction of a shield tunnel is relatively costly, the assembly technology of the segment is relatively high. The existing research cannot clearly determine the position of the tunnel damage at the fracture zone. The segment studied by some technologies is relatively complex to assemble and install, which increases the construction difficulty and inevitably ensures the quality of the construction. The peripheral maintenance structure of the segment increases the construction process and makes the construction more difficult, thereby greatly increasing the manufacturing cost. Meanwhile, the model experiment only studies the influence of the creep dislocation on the tunnel lining structure, and does not study the influence of the sudden dislocation of a fracture zone on a tunnel structure under the action of an earthquake.

[0004] In view of the problems in the related art, no effective solution has been proposed so far, and therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a new intelligent ductile segment suitable for a fracture zone and a model experiment device and method thereof. SUMMARY

The first and last ordinary segments are sealed to the front plates 29-2 of the upper and lower plates of the fault using sealing gaskets 27 to ensure the airtightness of the experiment.

[0073] The fracture surface is simulated using a fracture surface simulation steel plate 7. The steel plate 7 is arranged according to the actual engineering fracture surface inclination angle, such as 75° in this embodiment (this can be modified according to experimental requirements).
