In order to improve the design method of steel fiber reinforced concrete segment and accelerate its application in urban rail transit, a new design method of normal section structure of steel fiber reinforced concrete segment was proposed. According to the previous research results on the constitutive relationship of steel fiber concrete and the stress characteristics of subway segments, the main factors affecting the bearing capacity of the subway segments’ normal section were analyzed. Based on the difference in order of magnitude between the ultimate tensile strain of the steel fiber reinforced concrete segment and the ultimate tensile strain of einforced concrete, Combining with current concrete specifications and the assumption of plane deformation of the cross section, the stress and strain are taken as the characteristic values of the design of steel fiber reinforced concrete segments; The range of strain of the steel fiber reinforced concrete corresponds to different design conditions, the calculation results of steel fiber reinforced concrete segments under different working conditions are summarized into a same stress-strain diagram. The calculation flow of the axial cross section design using the axial force-bending moment envelope diagram was presented, and the relationship between the axial force-bending moment envelope diagrams of steel fiber reinforced concrete under different working conditions was shown through an engineering practice. The calculation results shown that strength is the main factor that affects the bearing capacity under serviceability limit state; and toughness of the steel fiber reinforced concrete is the main factor that affects the bearing capacity under ultimate capacity state, especially under accidental loading.
