Abstract To evaluate the impact resistance of super-large diameter shield tunnels under ground explosion loads, a three-dimensional refined finite element model was established using the fluid-solid coupling method. The influences on the shield tunnels under various explosive equivalents, burial depths and eccentric distances were compared. Tunnel performance indexes were formulated based on the maximum deformation and the quantity of yielded bolts. Subsequently, the tunnels were classified into four safety levels according to the post-explosion damage extent, and the influence zones of the super-large diameter shield tunnels under ground explosion loads were determined. This research could serve as a theoretical foundation for the site selection and reinforcement of shield tunnels traversing hazardous goods storage yard areas.
