Waterproofing performance of longitudinal segmental tunnel joints under external loads:a full-scale experimental investigation

扫码查看
When subjected to external loads from the ground and nearby construction,tunnel segmental lining joints are prone to damaging deformation.This can result in water leakage into tunnels,posing great safety risks.With this issue in mind,we conducted a series of full-scale tests to study the effects of external loads on the waterproofing performance of longitudinal joints.A customized rig for testing segmental joints was developed to assess the effect of loading magnitude,eccentricity,and loading-unloading-reloading cycles on waterproofing performance.Additionally,the relationship between joint force,sealing gasket deformation,and waterproofing pressure was investigated.The results indicate that:(1) the sealing gasket's compression rapidly decreases as external loads increase,which weakens the waterproofing capacity of the joint;(2) the watertightness limit dramatically decreases as the bending moment increases;(3) a loading-unloading-reloading cycle leads to degradation of the joint's waterproofing performance.The findings of this study provide a reference for subsequent waterproofing design of segmental tunnel joints,helping ensure the safety of tunnels throughout their operational lifespans.
