Abstract:

In order to obtain the shear deformation law and failure characteristics of precast utility tunnel joints under different foundations, this paper comprehensively considers the influence of the structural characteristics of utility tunnel joints and the foundation, and reveals the influence of foundation conditions on the shear performance of utility tunnel joints through model tests. The results show that the socket joints of the precast utility tunnel with connectors have good ductility and can meet the requirements of use when the utility tunnel is subjected to shear load under gravelly sand, silty clay and clay foundations. When the utility tunnel bears the same load, with the increase of the foundation stiffness, the dislocation of the utility tunnel will decrease, but the damage range of the joint will expand and the damage will be more serious, the final joint damage area accounts for about 15 % of the whole utility tunnel. The bearing end of the joint is more seriously damaged than the socket end, and the cracks in the chamfer position, near the bolt hole and at the top and the bottom are the most concentrated. It is recommended to strengthen the above positions locally. With the increase of dislocation, the longitudinal connector has gradually become the main force component of the joint to resist shear deformation, which plays an important role in improving the shear capacity of the joint and the integrity of the joint.
