Popis: A multi-purpose prototype test system is developed to study the mechanical behavior of tunnel supporting structure, including a modular counterforce device, a powerful loading equipment, an advanced intelligent management system and an efficient noncontact deformation measurement system. The functions of the prototype test system are adjustable size and shape of the modular counterforce structure, sufficient load reserve and accurate loading, multi-connection linkage intelligent management, and high-precision and continuously positioned noncontact deformation measurement. The modular counterforce structure is currently the largest in the world, with an outer diameter of 20.5 m, an inner diameter of 16.5 m and a height of 6 m. The case application proves that the prototype test system can reproduce the mechanical behavior of the tunnel lining during load-bearing, deformation and failure processes in detail.
