Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structure gives full play to the respective advantages of steel and concrete and has better bearing capacity and economic benefits than traditional support structure, which has achieved good results in some underground engineering applications. In order to promote the application of CFST in the construction of traffic tunnels with complex geological conditions and improve the bearing capacity of the initial supporting structure of tunnels, the influencing factors of the bearing capacity of CFST arch were studied by numerical simulation. The main achievements are as follows: (1) The load-displacement curves of CFST members under different material parameters are basically consistent. CFST members have significant restrictions on displacement in the elastic stage and have high ultimate bearing capacity. Although the bearing capacity decreases obviously after reaching the peak, it shows good extension performance. (2) The height of the steel tube section, the thickness of the steel tube wall and the grade of the core concrete have an approximately linear positive correlation with the bearing capacity of CFST arch, but the influence of these three factors on the bearing capacity of CFST arch decreases in turn, and when the grade of core concrete increases above C50, it has no significant effect on the bearing capacity of members.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14010167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,16]],"date-time":"2022-01-16T20:46:06Z","timestamp":1642365966000},"page":"167","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Research on Influence Factors of Bearing Capacity of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Arch for Traffic Tunnel"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Lei","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bridge and Tunnel Research Center, Research Institute of Highway Ministry of Transport, Beijing 100088, China"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Urban Underground Engineering of Ministry of Education, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"47","article-title":"Design Calculation of Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Beam-Columns\u2014World Code Comparison (I)","volume":"4","author":"Han","year":"2002","journal-title":"Pro.
