Abstract：
Using the finite-element method, this paper compares and studies the influence of lining section type on the stress and plastic strain of tunnels with chain-structures under active fault movement based on five three-centered circular sections of different invert radii from the Qipanshi tunnel project. The results show that: (1) the secondary lining is subjected to the combined action of tensioning, shearing, and squeezing due to fault movement; (2) high stress is mainly distributed at the arch spring with the peak stress on the hanging wall, and tensile force will be effectively absorbed by the shear crack; (3) with the tunnel section constantly tending toward a perfect circle, the maximum and minimum principal stresses and shear stress of the secondary lining decrease while the equivalent plastic stain increases.
