Abstract：Current research on tunnels crossing active faults primarily focuses on individual tunnel cases, while the group tunnel effect in tunnel groups has not been systematically addressed. The influence of high internal water pressure on deformation mechanisms is rarely considered. This study employs physical model tests and numerical analysis under high internal pressure to investigate the fault resistance of tunnel groups. The results demonstrate the following: (1) Corrugated expansion joints significantly enhance fault resistance, delaying and reducing peak longitudinal strain (with maximum tensile strain reduced by 69% and compressive strain by 48%) and converting shear failure into coordinated deformation. (2) Group effects intensify the fracturing of surrounding rock during dislocation, resulting in a complex “Y-shaped intersecting crack system.” (3) The sides of adjacent tunnels exhibit higher strain responses than the outer sides (with peak compressive strain at 87% and longitudinal tensile strain at 35%), indicating tunnel-rock-tunnel interaction. (4) Earth pressure between tunnels increases abnormally due to group effects, while the pressure on the outer sides remains largely unaffected. (5) The mechanical response of the lining (axial and shear force) strengthens with smaller tunnel spacing but diminishes and stabilizes as spacing increases. This study reveals the failure mechanisms of high-pressure hydraulic tunnel groups, providing insights for fault-resistant designs in seismic zones.
