This study explores the deformation characteristics of surrounding rock during tunnel construction through fault fracture zones. A numerical model is established using ABAQUS to analyze the interaction between the shield machine, support system, and geotechnical materials. The model incorporates key factors, including palm face support force, grouting pressure, and the friction between the shield shell and surrounding rock. The results show that the plastic zone of the surrounding rock is concentrated within the fault zone and at the junction with normal rock, propagating along the contact surface. In the loosening zone, stress and strength are significantly reduced, leading to crack expansion and plastic slip. Without adequate support, these conditions can result in tunnel destabilization. The displacement of the surrounding rock is most prominent during the detachment of the shield tail and the synchronized grouting phase. These findings provide valuable insights for improving tunnel construction safety and stability in fault fracture zones, where the integrity of the surrounding rock is compromised by fractures and fissures. However, the constructed models may restrict the ability to capture all complex material behaviors and interactions that could arise in actual field conditions.
