In order to improve the crack resistance of concrete
for utility tunnel, the elliptical ring method and solid model test are carried
out. The initial cracking time, crack width and total cracking area of concrete
are statistically analyzed to study the influence of shrinkage reducing agent,
concrete curing agent and geotextile on the crack resistance of concrete of
utility tunnel. The experimental results show that: (1) Compared with
geotextile curing, the initial cracking time of concrete cured by shrinkage
reducing agent is delayed by about 6.65% and the crack width is reduced by
70.67%, and that cured by curing agent is advanced by 0.77% and the crack width
is increased by 11.20%. (2) Compared with geotextile curing, the total cracking
area of the slab cured by shrinkage reducing agent is decreased by 46.97%, and
that cured by curing agent is increased by 7.15%. The results show that the
shrinkage reducing agent can significantly improve the crack resistance of the
concrete in the utility tunnel, but the effect of the concrete curing agent on
improving the crack resistance of the concrete is not obvious.
