The equivalent frost-heave force model experiment of tunnel in frozen earth region including lining types of bending wall
straight wall and rotundity and considering influencing factors consist of constraint conditions
thermal insulation material and containing water status etc.
are described in detail. Distribution characteristics and quantity value of frost-heave force around the tunnel lining and structural internal force caused by frost-heave force
are obtained by analyzing the experimental results. Comparing with the magnitude of frost-heave force of three lining sections
the frost-heave force value of straight wall lining section is greatest
the value of rotundity section is smallest
the value of bending wall lining section is middle of them. The frost-heaving force distribution characteristic of bending-wall lining section and straight wall express distributing load configuration
the greater value of the former occurs on arch foot and inverted arch foot
the greatest value of the latter occurs on side wall
the quite greater force on walls and bottom board is disadvantage for lining structure.
