Numerical simulation and analysis of moisture-heat coupling of soft rock tunnels in the cold regions

摘要

With the western development in China, more problems with rock and soil engineering in cold regions will be encountered. To study the stability of rock mass under the frost and thaw condition is of far significance. We attempt to simulate and analyze the temperature and moisture field in the surrounding rock of Dabanshan tunnel at its exit KI06+025 in the cold region by software Femlab. First, introduced the common numerical solution to the moisture and heat coupled about the soft rock in tunnels of cold region. Then gave emphasis on simulation of the law of temperature distribution coupled temperature-moisture field and draw a parallel between temperature fields with different coefficient of percolation. In the course of simulation we considered the problem of caloric receptivity, thermal conductivity and critical heat varying with temperature.
