Abstract:

In order to revea l the effect of steel-fiber reinforcement on the local mechan ica l properties of concrete segmen ts used in sh ield tunne ls, a general 3D finite element code, ADINA, was used to numerica lly analyze the cracking loads, stress distributions and crack distributions of the steel fiber-re inforced concrete ( SFRC ) segment under the jacking force or in a regular service stage. The results indicate that the addition of steel fibers can effec- tively improve the local mechanical properties of segment surface, hand holes and bolt holes, greatly enhance the anti-crack performance of SFRC segment, and make the first-crack load 13. 3% ~ 22. 7% greater than that of the origina l reinforced concrete segm en.t

Key words: steel fiber, concre te, shie ld tunne, segment, mechanical property
