Abstract

Grouting technology is an important method that has been widely adopted for the crack repair of tunnel lining, but the diffusion law of grouting slurry is still uncertain in tunnel lining cracks. For the sake of exploring the grouting diffusion law of tunnel lining cracks, this paper investigated the grouting diffusion shape and the relation between the diffusion radius and time with different crack widths in tunnel lining which by means of laboratory experiments and statistical analysis. Meanwhile, the diffusion equation of grouting in lining cracks has been established on basis of the grouting diffusion shape and experimental data. Furthermore, it is analyzed the correlation between the experimental values and the calculated values. The results revealed that the diffusion shape can be divided into a circular zone, excessive zone, and elliptical zone in the tunnel lining cracks, and the calculated values of the equation of grouting diffusion are highly correlated with the experimental values. Additionally, it is shown that the diffusion equation can accurately describe the relationship between diffusion radius and time of grouting in tunnel lining cracks. The study results would provide a theoretical basis for the prediction of diffusion radius on grouting repair for tunnel lining cracks.
