In order to establish a railway tunnel lining soundness evaluation standard, we developed tunnel lining model test units and carried out three-dimensional loading tests of single and double track tunnel lining models. The ground surrounding tunnel is modeled by springs and lining-ground interaction is able to express. In this paper, we discuss about the three-dimensional behavior of the lining tes ts and the three-dimensional FEM simulation analyses on the tests. The analyses of tunnel lining models were constructed by shell and solid elements. We used FEM program “NASTRAN” and “ABAQUS” for the simulation.
