Abstract

Convergence confinement method is an important guidance method for tunnel construction and support design. Numerical simulation method was used to comparatively analyze the ground reaction curve and the plastic zone under different rock grade and roadway tunnel size. The results show that the change of tunnel size has different effects on the maximum deformation of the tunnel arch crown, the ground reaction curve and the plastic zone range. Finally, some suggestions were put forward for the construction and optimization of the large span arch tunnel support structure. The research results may provide some guidance for related engineering
