Abstract：
In order to prevent and control frozen damage that frequently occurs in tunnels in the seasonably frozen region, a new thermal insulation liner composed of off-wall corrugated steel plates is developed, which is characterized by easy construction, reliable waterproof performance, resistance to concrete chipping, an increase in the service life of polyurethane and so on. Numerical simulation is performed to study the temperature field of the tunnels installed with thermal insulation liner composed of off-wall corrugated steel plates in the seasonably frozen region and its thermal insulation effect. The results show that the installation of the new thermal insulation liner composed of off-wall corrugated steel plates in tunnels in the seasonably frozen region can prevent the impact of cold air on the lining structure, the area of surrounding rocks with positive temperature is increased, and the tunnel frost line moves forward from the surrounding rock position at 0.48 m away from the lining to the thermal insulation liner, effectively preventing the occurrence of frozen damage of tunnels in the seasonably frozen region; the thermal insulation effect of wall-mounted polyurethane thermal insulation layer of tunnels in the seasonably frozen region is 89.90%~96.43%, and the thermal insulation effect of new thermal insulation liner composed of off-wall corrugated steel plates is 101.94%~107.14%, with better thermal insulation effect than that of the former.
