Abstract

The unreasonable setting of thermal insulation layer in high cold tunnels not only increases the maintenance cost of tunnels, but also weakens the anti-freezing and cold resistance of the tunnels. In order to optimize the setting of thermal insulation layer in an Alpine tunnel, relying on Dabanshan tunnel in Qinghai Province, three schemes of radial and longitudinal thermal insulation region of thermal insulation layer were adopted, and the temperature field of the surrounding rock was numerically analyzed. The results show that the uneven region scheme of 9 cm-8 cm-7 cm and 10 cm-9 cm-8 cm insulation layer can effectively reduce the freezing area of the lining and the surrounding rock, the freezing region at the tunnel entrance is significantly reduced, and there is no lining freezing region within the depth of 30–750 M. The research results can provide guidance for the partition wall setting of radial and longitudinal insulation layers of Alpine tunnels. In addition, it has considerable economic advantages for the reduction in engineering construction costs.
