Notes:
This paper introduces many types of analogue materials in China and other countries ingeotechnical model tests. Combined with the study on a few geo-mechanical model tests ofsignificant tunnels and underground openings in Chinese western areas, this paper recommends anew type of analogue material, which is made from iron mineral powder, barite powder, quartzpowder and alcoholic solution with rosin. In order to know the physico-mechanical characteristicsof this composite material with different mixture ratios, we use specimens to do lots of mechanicalexperiments such as uniaxial compressive test, quasi-triaxial shear test, triaxial test and Braziliantest. Consequently, the analogue materials with different mixture ratios can be used to physicallymodel different projects, and this analogue material with a certain mixture ratio has beensuccessfully used in the model test of a branching-out tunnel. The results of the model test verifythat this new analogue material can be successfully used in all kinds of geotechnical model tests
