Earthquake Mechanics Study with Health Check for a Seismic-damaged Tunnel Suffered from the Wenchuan Earthquake

摘要

The health diagnosis of seismic-damaged tunnel seismically damaged is important in recovering traffic lines for seismic relief and recovery. Taking a tunnel damaged tunnel in the Wenchuan earthquake as an example, the methods of safety check is exposed. The non-destructive test showed that the seismic damage to this tunnel included concrete cracks, hidden cavities, and strength deterioration of lining. Several causes induced in seismic diseases were discussed. The rehabilitation technique, which needs not break off transportation through the tunnel, was also put forward. It is hoped that this earthquake mechanics study can enhance the stability assessment and tunnel reinforcement in a highly seismic region.
