Abstract
The increasing adoption of the shield method in transportation and municipal engineering has heightened concerns regarding the blast resistance performance of shield tunnels. To investigate the propagation characteristics and attenuation behaviors of blast waves induced by internal explosions within shield tunnels, scaled model experiment was designed and conducted in this study. The blast pressure time-history curves on the tunnel walls were recorded for different explosive charges detonated at both center and eccentric positions. Subsequently, numerical simulation was utilized to examine the effects of explosive equivalent, tunnel diameter, detonation positions, and charge geometry on blast wave distribution. Furthermore, wavelet packet energy analysis was applied to the pressure curves to refine the regional classification of blast loading. The finding of this study can provide valuable insights for blast-resistant design and explosion mitigation strategies in shield tunnel engineering.
