Abstract：
In this paper, a three-axial loading device of plane strain is used for a laboratory model test. Contrast tests are carried out for three kinds of anchor bolt arrangements, i.e., an arrangement with no anchor bolts, a whole-section arrangement of anchor bolts, and an arrangement of anchor bolts on the sidewall. The role of the anchor bolt system in a loess subway tunnel is studied in reference to field test results. Data regarding anchor bolts applied to a loess subway tunnel are obtained by model testing, and "loading-before-excavation" and anchor-lining integration are realized. By contrast, the development of a plastic zone around the working face is well controlled by the anchor bolt system; after excavation and support of the tunnel cavern, the sidewall anchor bolt can comply quickly with surrounding rock stress and effectively improve the stress distribution of the lining. Considering the economic factors, the sidewall anchor support system is a good method for reinforcing surrounding rock in shallow-bored loess subway tunnels and should be adopted in actual construction.
