Abstract

In this study, the impact behaviour of tunnel lining structures constructed using a novel topological interlocking system with steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) bricks is comprehensively investigated. A sophisticated finite element model is firstly developed to simulate the impact tests on the interlocking SFRC tunnel specimens. The model considers the geometric details of the main components of the test setup, including drop hammer, guide columns, interlocking tunnel specimen, rubber cover, and frames. Furthermore, a newly developed SFRC constitutive model is employed in the present model to accurately capture the dynamic behaviour of SFRC. By comparing the predicted results with experimental data, the developed numerical model has been demonstrated to be highly accurate. Six new non-planar topological interlocking bricks are then developed based on different patterns, and a parametric study is carried out to investigate the effect of geometric parameters on the dynamic response of the topological interlocking SFRC tunnel structures. Finally, recommendations for designing topological interlocking SFRC tunnel segments are provided based on the findings from this study.

冲击荷载下用于隧道衬砌结构的非平面互锁纤维加固混凝土砖的数值模拟和比较设计

本研究全面探讨了使用新型拓扑互锁系统和钢纤维增强混凝土（SFRC）砖建造的隧道衬砌结构的冲击行为。首先开发了一个复杂的有限元模型，用于模拟互锁 SFRC 隧道试件的冲击试验。该模型考虑了试验装置主要组件的几何细节，包括落锤、导柱、互锁隧道试件、橡胶罩和框架。此外，本模型还采用了新开发的 SFRC 构成模型，以准确捕捉 SFRC 的动态行为。通过将预测结果与实验数据进行比较，证明所开发的数值模型具有很高的准确性。然后，根据不同的图案开发了六种新的非平面拓扑互锁砖，并进行了参数研究，以探讨几何参数对拓扑互锁 SFRC 隧道结构动态响应的影响。最后，根据研究结果提出了设计拓扑互锁 SFRC 隧道段的建议。
