  • Patent number: 11988093
    Abstract: An inflatable folding tunnel reinforcement structure and a construction method thereof are provided. The inflatable folding tunnel reinforcement structure includes an inflation port, an airbag, a water blocking net, a steel plate, a scissor folding mechanism, a vertical support plate, an arc-shaped support plate, drainage channels, an upper support rod, a lower support rod, a locking pin, a threaded steel rod, a rolling connection pin, and an induction motor, where the upper support rod and the lower support rod are unfolded in opposite directions to a preset position through the steel rod; and the drainage channels are configured to perform water guidance and resistance for a leakage-proofing purpose. The construction method includes: preparation before construction, device fixation, on-site construction, structural inspection, and site cleaning.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230288294
    Abstract: A test device and method for studying influence of external load on soil arching effect of shield tunnel, including a test chamber, a tunnel model and a control module. The tunnel model, including segments which are meshed with each other and can move relatively, the tunnel model is installed in the middle of the test chamber, and all sides of the tunnel model is filled with a test soil, the control module, including a set of deceleration motors and a variable cross-section guide rod, the variable cross-section guide rod is inserted into the tunnel model, which can reduce the diameter of the tunnel model, resulting in ground loss and soil arching effect.
