Abstract

Concrete materials are widely used in tunnel engineering. In China, the cold regions have gradually become the main area for highway and railway construction. Affected by high altitude, low temperature, turbulent wind, and other conditions, freezing damage, such as tunnel icing, occurs in concrete materials, which seriously affects the quality and operational safety of tunnels in cold regions. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a quantitative analysis of various factors affecting freezing damage to protect concrete materials in tunnels. This paper summarizes various freezing damage phenomena in tunnels in cold regions and divides them into three types: water seepage and hanging ice type freezing damage, lining interface type freezing damage, and tunnel foundation ice accumulation type freezing damage. Based on the qualitative evaluation of each factor, the affiliation of each factor was divided. Then, the influence weight of each factor on freezing damage was obtained through the analytic hierarchy process, and then each factor was ranked. This study is helpful to the selection of anti-freezing measures for tunnels in cold regions.
