Application of Glass Fiber Concrete under Thin-Walled Middle Partition Wall Construction in Tunnel

Abstract

Aiming at the feasibility of applying glass fiber concrete as a new material to tunnel engineering, with the help of a combination of theoretical analysis, laboratory tests and engineering applications, the effect of glass fiber on the mechanical properties of concrete under different dosages and different lengths is studied. By monitoring the cracks in the middle partition wall, and applying the glass fiber to the middle partition wall in Laoshan Tunnel, to achieve the verification of the optimal length and the optimal mixing amount. The main conclusions are: (1) When the length of glass fiber is 12 mm, the tensile and compressive strength reach the maximum value; (2) Determine the optimal volume rate is 1% in order to prevent the concrete cracking effectively; (3) The crack resistance of the mid-board with glass fiber concrete is better than the ordinary concrete, which proves the feasibility of practical application of glass fiber concrete.
