Abstract: Methods for analysis and design of segmental tunnel linings are presented inconformance with standards and guidelines from Austria (ÖVBB), France (AFTES), Germany(DAUB), Japan (JSCE), Netherland, United States (FHWA) and International Tunneling Association(ITA). Effect of embedment loads on segments is analyzed using elastic equations, a beam-springmodel, and Finite Element or Finite Difference...

Abstract: The High Speed 2 (HS2) scheme in UK is envisaged to include more than 62km of its route in tunnels. In order to address public concern about the impacts of tunnelling, data have been collected on ground movements and ground-borne noise and vibrations. This paper describes a series of case studies of ground movements due to underground construction and ground-borne noise and vibration from a...
