Abstract: Tunnel lining falling blocks can cause great threats to traffic safety, resulting in traffic interruptions or speed limits and endangering operational safety. Traditional lining disease remediation measures have low efficiency and high costs and are time consuming. Combining the research methods used in the literature, indoor testing, and model experiments, a very normal material, namely, polyurea spray film material, is proposed as a means by which to remediate the lining falling block disease in tunnels. A 1 : 1 tunnel lining structure model was established at the site, and four experimental conditions were tested. The experiments revealed that the tensile stress was less than the tensile strength and that no tensile fracture occurred in the polyurea spray film material under the joint action of the block’s self-weight and aerodynamic loads. Factors such as side seam treatment, surface sanding, and spray temperature may influence the bond strength of the polyurea spray film material. In order to remediate the issue of lining blocks falling, we recommended increasing the bond strength between the spray film material and the concrete or increasing the thickness of the polyurea spray film material.
