Fractal Analysis of Tunnel Structural Damage Caused by High-Temperature and Explosion Impact

The tunnel is one of the most important components in modern underground engineering. Due to long and narrow shape constraints, it very easily results in large-scale fire and explosion when deflagration is caused by the accidents of vehicles that transport dangerous goods in the tunnel. Previously, the studies on the damage to tunnel lining caused by high-temperature impacts in these kinds of disasters were often limited to a discussion of only one influencing factor, either fire or explosion, but they rarely considered the two factors simultaneously. In this work, the damage properties of full-size tunnel lining induced by high temperature and impact were evaluated, and the concrete samples from the whole lining arch were selected for CT scanning. The improved differential box-counting method was used for the fractal analysis of the CT images to obtain the damage-distribution properties of the tunnel lining structure under the two coupled influencing factors: the high temperature caused by fire, and the impact caused by deflagration.
