Inversion Study of Mechanical Parameters of Tunnel Surrounding Rock Based on Similar Test by Xianyun Wang, Hewei Cui, Hailiang Xu, Dong An, Yimin Song

“…The results show the following: (1) The new research idea proposed in this paper is effective and feasible and can perform the inversion calculation of the parameters of the soft and weak tunnel surrounding rock. (2) Through the inversion calculation, the parameters related to the surrounding rock show a wave-like change: the parameters increase in the initial and final compaction stages due to the small deformation rate of the tunnel and decrease in the continuous loading stage due to the increasing deformation rate of the tunnel. (3) The displacement field calculated by DSCM in the test is basically the same as the displacement distribution characteristics of the numerical simulation displacement cloud map, and the error of nodal displacement value is within 3%.…”
