The cut-and-cover tunnel (CCT) construction scheme has led to the popularity of high-filled cut-and-cover tunnel (HFCCT). HFCCT possesses a backfilling height of 30–50 m. However, such a high soil column produces a large force on the structure and the structure is prone to crack, causing structural damage and difficulty in normal use. In order to provide a reference for the structural safety assessment of HFCCT, we conducted a similarity model test to study the variation law of the development of crack, displacement, and internal force of HFCCT with a coefficient of λ (the ratio of the backfilling height to the height of the cut-and-cover tunnel). In the test, a 1:20 similar scale CCT model with slope angle 70° and groove width ratio 1 was built using data from the HFCCT on the Lanyu Line. The backfilling process on site was simulated in a simulation box (360 cm long, 120 cm wide and 209 cm high). A numerical model was also built using PFC2D to verify the accuracy of the model test and further explain the crack formation mechanism of the HFCCT from a microscopic perspective. The results show that with the increase of the coefficient of λ, the bearing stage of the CCT can be roughly divided into three stages: steady growth stage, rapid growth stage, and accelerated growth stage. Furthermore, the development of cracks is closely related to the displacement and internal force of the CCT. The larger the displacement of the CCT, the greater the instability of the structure and the larger the ratio of the bending moment to the internal force, which causes the crack to develop faster.
