Research progress of tunnel air-tight concrete

Abstract

With the quick development of transportation network construction, the tunnel construction has been an important part. During the tunnel construction process, especially in the gas zone, gas leaking has been a common problem. For avoiding gas leakage, it is necessary to enhance the air-tightness of the tunnel concrete, air-tight concrete is a kind of concrete with excellent air tightness performance. In this paper, we introduced the research progress of tunnel air-tight concrete, including the effect of mix ratio, composition on the air-tight performance of tunnel concrete and corresponding characterization methods.
