Research and Application of Model Materials Based on Soft Rock Model Test

Abstract

In consideration of few researches on model materials of soft rock tunnel model test, and the problems such as high price of raw material, difficult availability of materials in market, and weak universality existing in the materials which can be used as reference, this paper researches and develops the model materials with low price, wide source, and strong universality. The application result shows that the developed model materials can meet soft rock model test requirements, and they can be reused within 3 months.
