Railway mountain tunnels were constructed in cold regions of Korea recently, and freezing has been generated. Most mountainous railway tunnels are designed with waterproofing membranes since groundwater exists on the backside of the tunnels. The lower air temperature inside the tunnel is transferred to the back of the tunnel lining as the outside air temperature drops below zero in winter, causing the groundwater behind the waterproofing membrane to freeze. There have been cases of freezing-related damage, such as the obstruction of drainage flow and freezing groundwater leakage. Therefore, the freezing conditions inside the tunnel should be analyzed by each tunnel length after the air temperature variation in the tunnel is measured. In this study, the air temperature inside a railway tunnel located in a cold region was measured using thermometers. The inside air temperature over time was changed by the DTR (diurnal temperature range) every 24 h. The DTR inside the tunnel was also reduced far from the entrance. Heat transfer analysis was implemented considering the air temperature variation inside the tunnel. Assuming that the minimum air temperature freezing inside the tunnel lasts seven days, the higher the minimum air temperature the longer the tunnel length. The research results show that the freezing inside a tunnel can be estimated from the tunnel length and the minimum air temperature inside the tunnel. Full article
