Abstract: To further investigate the convergence deformation mode of soft rock tunnel section in mountainous area, a case study is conducted on the crown settlement and horizontal convergence of arch waist of a tunnel section, the ratio 〖WT5《TNR#I》〗KWT5《TNR》〗 of crown settlement and horizontal convergence of arch waist is proposed based on the existing uneven convergence mode of metro shield tunnel, so as to parameterize the deformation of tunnel crosssection. Additionally, three forms of convergence deformation of tunnel crosssection are proposed based on WT5《TNR#I》〗KWT5《TNR》〗 value. Finally, the monitoring data of tunnel crosssection deformation under different buried depths in Gansu section of the Ganqing tunnel on XiningChengdu highspeed railway are analyzed. The results show the following: (1) The parametric analysis of the WT5《TNR#I》〗KWT5《TNR》〗 value shows that the deformation mode of the tunnel crosssection is mainly affected by the tunnel uniform convergence WT5《TNR#I》〗〖QX(Y8〗ε〖QX)〗〖WT5《TNR》〗 and the tunnel ovalization WT5《TNR#I》〗〖QX(Y10〗δ〖QX)〗〖WT5《TNR》〗. (2) The buried depth of the tunnel has a certain influence on the convergence deformation of the tunnel crosssection after tunnel excavation. Because the surrounding rock of the tunnel is relatively stable under the condition of deep buried depth, the convergence deformation of the tunnel crosssection is small and tends to be stable in a short time. (3) The uneven convergence model and the existing empirical parameters are suitable for the tunnel crosssection in the shallow buried area (buried depth of 17.8~19.3 m), but the applicability of the tunnel crosssection in the deep buried area (buried depth of 48.5~49.3 m) is not good. (4) For the first time, the uneven convergence mode of the tunnel crosssection from the metro shield is introduced into the mountain tunnel. Due to the complexity of the mountain tunnel construction, the current research on the WT5《TNR#I》〗KWT5《TNR》〗 value of the mountain tunnel is only a preliminary applicability study, which needs further study.
