Abstract In order to meet the needs of design of prefabricated assembly shield tunnel under explosion,A three- dimensional FEM model for analysis of dynamic response of shield tunnel under internal explosion loading is proposed,which can model the contact effects of segment-segment,segment-bolt and segment-soil. Taking typical metro running shield tunnel as an example,the failure mechanism and dynamic characteristics of the tunnel under internal explosion loading are analyzed. Comparison study of the blast-resistant characteristics between shield tunnel and integral cast in-situ tunnel is conducted,the failure characteristics of segment and bolt are revealed based on calculation results. Example analysis results show that blast-resistant characteristics of shield tunnel is inferior to that of integral cast in-situ tunnel,segment joint is the frail part of shield tunnel to resist internal explosion loading and enhancing bolt strength and tenacity can improve the blast-resistant characteristics of shield tunnel.
