In order to study the bearing safety and influencing factors of the support structures of hydraulic tunnels in cold regions under the action of low-temperature frost heave, a mechanical model of the support structure and surrounding rock was established. Taking a hydraulic tunnel of a hydropower station in Xinjiang as the research object, a combination of field measurement and a numerical simulation method was adopted to study the bearing safety of the support structure during a period of freezing weather. Based on this model, the effects of different thermal expansion coefficients, temperature differences, and surrounding rock porosity on the bearing safety of the support structure in the low-temperature region were studied. From the calculation results, it was concluded that the simulation results of the numerical model established by using the mechanical model in this paper were in good agreement with the actual measurement results of the project. The circumferential freezing and compressive stresses at the arch waist of the supporting structure of the project were the largest, and significant plastic strain was generated near the arch waist. The displacement at the arch of the supporting structure was the largest, while the weak points were at the arch waist and arch top of the supporting structure. The coefficient of thermal expansion, greater temperature difference, and increased porosity of the surrounding rock all led to an increase in the rock freezing and swelling force to varying degrees, thus reducing the load-bearing safety of the supporting structure. The research results could provide a theoretical basis and a reliable mechanical and numerical simulation model for establishing the bearing safety of tunnels in the cold region.
