Uplift deformation of railway tunnel invert structures can occur under high groundwater pressure and surrounding rock swelling, inducing track irregularities and affecting the safe and smooth operation of high-speed trains. To investigate the uplift deformation patterns of ballastless track in railway tunnels, a ballastless track-tunnel invert similarity model was established based on similarity principles. The physical model was fabricated using 3D printing, and a customized loading apparatus was used to simulate and control the invert load. Results show that, under the invert load, the surfaces of all structural layers are in tension, with the central drainage channel surface exhibiting the most pronounced tension. The transverse stress is significantly greater than the longitudinal stress, making the structure more prone to longitudinal cracking, which is consistent with the field crack distribution patterns. Regarding deformation, a pronounced extrusion effect occurs at construction joints, and the central drainage channel, and as a weak part, causes the deformation at tunnel centerline to be consistently larger than that at the track bed slab centerline. With increasing invert load, the deformation amplitude increases approximately linearly, and the difference between the two widens. Moreover, insufficient invert thickness and reduced curvature significantly aggravate the occurrence and propagation of uplift deformation; a decrease in invert thickness leads to a power-law increase in uplift amplitude. The findings provide a reference for controlling tunnel invert uplift defects and optimizing structural design.
